Today is moving day. I haven't made it to the gym since Tuesday, but the 21 hours over three days I spent deep cleaning the house we're moving to has to count for something, right? Then again, the crappy food I've been eating on the go probably negates that!
We are moving to the Winchell neighborhood in Kalamazoo, which has me super excited for a lot of reasons. First, we will get the Kalamazoo Promise, which is now valued at around $45,000 per child. Second, my kids will go to Winchell Elementary. I teach at Maple Street middle, and the students I get from Winchell are simply amazing; it's awesome to know my own children will be part of that cohort. Third, the Winchell neighborhood is a great place to exercise. I have seen countless people out running, walking, biking, riding their scooters, etc. I can't wait to be part of that. The neighborhood we are leaving is tiny, full of mainly retired people who don't seem to get out much, and close to a main road (not safe for the kids on their bikes).
Wish us luck with the move, and I'm sure I'll be back at the gym soon.
