Plans for Spring Break

So, a mere three days of classes, and then I'll have two whole weeks off for March Break!  I am nearly counting down the hours until it begins.

I have big plans for this break, probably more than I can actually accomplish during that time (it is only two weeks, after all.  I've probably got enough on my list to last me months!)  Anyway, here are some of the things I'd like to do:

1.  Spend some time in my classroom.  Maybe about 20 hours total over the break.  I'd like to get things a little more organized, and I'd like to get plans going for after the break.  My goal is to walk into school again with two weeks of plans done.  My goal is to stay ahead and not stress at all during the last quarter.  We'll see how that goes :)

2.  Decorating and Project-ing.  When I moved into Mathew's house (nearly half a year ago!) I wanted to change it up.  I still do.  I have lots of decorating ideas, and lots of projects waiting for me.  I have patio furniture I want to re-do, wall art to replace, curtains to buy or make, and the list goes on.  Like I said above, this is the part of the list that could take me months.

3. House Hunting.  That's right!  Mathew and I are looking into possibly maybe buying a house.  So exciting, I know!  We don't have a ton of money saved up yet, and we'd really like to get our debt paid off. But we also feel like a house is a good investment, and it makes sense to us to buy one while they are "on sale."  With houses at such a bargain, I think we'll be kicking ourselves later if we don't at least look into it.
