Here's the Scoop

Here's the 411 for those family and friends that maybe do not know the details about our lives...

Back in April 2008, Adam accepted a job with the Wright County Sheriff's office as a deputy. He loves his job, co-workers, and schedule. His schedule consists of work four nights in a row, and then four nights off. He usually works 6 p.m to 6 a.m. He covers all of Wright County, including the towns of Belmond, Clarion, Goldfield, Eagle Grove, and a few others. He has his own car, which stays at our house on his days off. The department takes care of their officers very well. Adam has become friends with all the officers and a few of the Clarion officers. Currently, he enjoys kicking all of their butts in their fantasy football league!! =)

I am a substitute teacher for the Clarion school district and the Belmond school district. I am also the 4th Grade Associate for Connections, the Clarion-Goldfield After School Program. Everyday from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. I work with a group of about 20 fourth graders. Our afternoon consists of a quick snack and recess, then a good hour or so of homework assistance, and then an hour or so of a group activity, such as a craft, game, etc. It is a very challenging, yet rewarding job! I have also become friends with a few of my co-workers.

With the big move to Clarion, we also became 1st time homeowners!! We bought an old 3 BR home with lots of nice woodwork throughout. It has a 2-stall garage, 1 1/2 baths, sunroom, partially finished basement and brick patio. We love it! We've been slowly making a few changes, such as painting. We eventually want to add a bath on the main level, get a new kitchen floor, and new carpet in the bedrooms. The best part about our house is that it is located right across from the school!! So all I have to do is walk out our front door! I seriously fill my car up with gas once a month! It's awesome! And actually, with Adam not having to drive to work, he rarely fills up his car as well!!

So there you have it - the basics of our everyday lives!
