hello again from outlook. life is turning out to be quite wonderful around here. i have relocated to a new home. i am now living in the basement of the white house, if you have ever been here, if not, well, i live in a basement, equipped with its own bathroom! We don't have a full kitchen, but we have some space, a little fridge, a sink and coffee pot and even a microwave. i am slowly unpacking and organizing. i am currently sitting in the girls' dorm office, attempting to write this, but being quite unsuccessful. girls are in and out and everywhere, and i am getting very distracted. anyways, overall, i am liking being here and loving meeting the kids and hanging out. i have had some great conversations and bonding time, and i have discovered out that "grumpy" pants are not the only pants people wear. i have recently acquired my "authority" pants, which are somewhat uncomfortable at this point, but hopefully will start feeling like a second skin soon enough. well, that is my update for now. tomorrow and friday are my days off, and i am looking forward to being free and going to s'toon.
