This will probably be fairly brief (okay, brief by my standards), as I just finished a glass of wine and a Rolly Pollies birthday training video. It seemed a fantastic combination before the sleepiness hit.
Rob and I have had a pretty exciting week. For starters, he passed his test on Monday afternoon! This test was a sort of double check with the school before they schedule his final test with the FAA. And...this afternoon his examiner from the FAA called and his final checkride/test is scheduled for December 5th...just 2 weeks from today! Rob's instructor at the school says the guy he's been assigned is fairly thorough (he tested another student at the school a few weeks ago and it took 8 hours to complete the test!) so he definitely has his work cut out for him in studying the next few weeks. It's definitely exciting to being so close to finished though!
Also today, I found out my student teaching assignment! I am teaching at Hamilton High School. I haven't spoken with my cooperating teacher yet, but I stalked her a baby bit on the school's website and I think she teaches Freshman Honors, Student Government and perhaps AP. Not certain on that last one. The school is about 6 miles down the road...a 10-15 minute drive with all the traffic lights. Rob and I drove over this evening and some of the students were starting to tailgate before a playoff football game! It looks like a pretty neat place. The school has about 3,500 students (and it's one of four public high schools in Chandler! This city is HUGE!) I am really excited to meet my teacher and get started!
A few other exciting notes...I baked bread this week. From scratch/with the whole yeast and rising process. This further illustrates my need for a full-time schedule. Our target.com order came in record time, but I blanked signing the UPS signature pad and used Kaiser...oops! We hung a few pictures on the wall, are getting ready to hang curtains and have a wonderfully cinnamon scented apartment thanks to a fabulous care package from mom :)
I am gearing up for 4 birthday parties this weekend and a trip to the grocery to prepare for our first Thanksgiving. Any tips are welcome...especially in the area of making gravy (this seems to be a McCandlish stress), pumpkin pie recipes from family and not google, thawing turkeys (I think about 2 days for 10 pounds??) and how to fly you all out here to do the cooking and shop with me on Friday...or turn Rob into someone craving the mall the day after Thanksgiving. Eek...we miss you!!
Also, this is remarkably not short. My apologies for the false advertising.

Rob, You have to go to the mall on Friday!
Just don't go early, relax and people watch!
Adam and I (your father in law) do it every year. It is actually quite ejoyable.
Happy Thanksgiving to both of you.
Enjoy your first together!
