CrossingRhodes Adventures: Project Complete

On Thursday, when B made this bud vase I said it needed to be finished. Well.....it's finished. Looks perfect, if you ask me :-)

New Adventures!

2011 CHANGES - again, life keeps changing. I moved from a marketing job into a full time job as the school principal (just finished my first year). B dropped out of WTMC (yes, I did say dropped out), spent several months not in school (weak attempt at justifying homeschooling) and then enrolled at Clonlara (where hopefully he will graduate from 6/2012). My divorce is final. I am single. I'm am excited and scared. Life it not without bumps, but we get over them - sometime not unscathed - but we get over them!

2010 CHANGES - Many changes, which gives me a host of new topics to blog about! I returned to work in a professional career (more info to come). B has made it through the first year at WTMC - not without some bumps, but overall he did fairly well. And now, B and I live as a family of two. Many changes indeed.

This fall, 2009, B started a dual enrolled program for high school students at our local community college. The program is called Washtenaw Technical Middle College (WTMC) and he goes to the Washtenaw Community College campus (WCC). Watch the blog posts of more details. www.themiddlecollege.org

This has been a big adjustment for both of us!!! We are proud of B's willingness to undertake this program.

Relocating is an Adventure too!

7/7/2010 UPDATE - Well B and I made it through the winter, spring and we're back into summer - all while living at the cottage. For now, that is where we are going to stay. B has a little less than 2 years in his current school program - and if possible we are going to try to stay at the lake. It still means driving to AA 6 days a week - but I've traded my truck in for a small, fuel efficient car (which I hate, miss my truck). For now the cottage is HOME!

9/16/09 - B and I are still living at the cottage (which is normally where we spend our summers). It is our intent to stay there, at least for now. It means 2 hrs a day, 6 days a week, in the car going to and from AA (work and school). But we are safe and comfortable. Time, and probably the winter weather, will tell if we can stay in this location long term. If it does work out, we'll probably end up living at the lake house until B is done with the WTMC program - which will be 5/12.

As of 05/18/09 - DONE DEAL. All stuff moved out, closing done, check cashed, Dexter chapter closed. We are now homeless!

As of 5/09 - the Dexter house is empty and I have reveiwed the closing papers. As long as the buyer comes to the table on closing day, it's a done deal! Long time coming, for sure. Relief is felt, for sure.

As of 04/09 - we have an offer pending on the Dexter house. Deal is moving SUPER S L O W. Frustrating to both B and I. Fingers crossed we will soon know if we should be moving/storing our junk or not. Then it's off to the cottage for the 2 of us. No decisions on our next living location - we'll worry about that in August. Need a break from those thoughts!

As of now 10/08 - the house in Dexter still has not sold, so B and I are still living there. T is still in Champaign. It seems with the current market, it's going to be awhile. Given that - our options for relocation are wide open. There has been talk of B and I not moving to IL, but staying in MI while B finished high school. There has also been crazy talk about B and I moving to Hawaii to establish residency for college - not a bad choice in terms of environment the teacher says! TIME will tell in all of this.

Old Info - We are moving from Dexter, MI to Champaign/Urbana, IL. T is already living and working in IL. B and I are waiting for the house in Dexter to sell.
