the south will rise again

My last VA interview was a screening interview that a principal in Prince William County was nice enough to do this afternoon. It was at Stonewall Middle School in Manassas, VA. Mascots - Sabres. I like my Civil War history quite a bit, and I love the fact that the middle school is named after a fallen Confederate leader. I think living in the South might be an adjustment because something tells me they forgot they lost.

Rachel put most of the finishing touches in the nursery except for the super secret baby name and some framed images of sock monkeys she took with my Frienime, Courtney. The red and brown stripes compliment all of the sock money fabric (see left).

Baby Figgy is one lucky baby. He will have a good life at 7916 because with all the tv Rach and I watch someone will always want to hold him. He might have to learn how to talk only during commercials. Don't be surprised if Fig's first words are OMG. XOXO. Awesome. (That's from Monday night TV - Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother.)

Home again. Trip tomorrow to Nell Hills where I'm scouting things for 7916. The challenge is making the gray (that I'm really committed too) warm. I think I can do it.
