Oh Yeah

Well, I didn't get fired (if any of you were wondering). Actually, things are going a little better. Not great, but better. For a few months, I started pursuing a career change. I still want to go for it, but it is on hold for a while. I decided I would like to become an art teacher. South Carolina has the PACE program that would allow me to get my teaching certificate in three years. I guess teaching is in the Burdette blood. Anyway, I want to finish my architecture registration, and since I didn't pass the past two tests I took, I have to wait six months to retake them. All that being said, I am going to concentrate on studying for the tests in February and March (I think I got a little distracted with the idea of the career change). After I pass those, then I will pursue my certification. Makes sense. So, if all goes well, I will be a registered architect, with my Masters, I can teach college architecture, and I will become an art teacher. Good to have options.

In other news, Christian and I are closing on a house in a week. It is in North Augusta, SC, and only 1.5 miles from my job. It is a cute two bedroom, one bath brick cottage in downtown North Augusta. It has been renovated, but we still have a list of projects to do (paint, deck, screen in porch ...). We are very excited about having a place to call home again. It will also be good to get out of Georgia, and back to SC.


Other than that, we've been enjoying the kayaks, and visiting with family and friends. Life is good.
