Well, that was interesting

For those who don't know, we're back in the United States. We decided in April to pay our own return trip to Texas. By leaving Ireland, I had to resign from Dell. As it turned out, I found a training job in Austin teaching Dell products and technologies.

Sierra spent the month of May going to a middle school in Round Rock, Texas. It was a bit of culture shock for her to go from a school where she was an "upper classman" at an elementary school that 1) she had walked to for 3 years, that 2) they wore a uniform, that 3) started at 9:00 and got out at 2:30, and 4) where homework took at most 30 minutes to a middle school where she is one of the youngest, and 3) where she had to decide what to wear, 1) she had to catch the bus at 2) 7:30 am, and where they changed classrooms between each class, and returned home around 4:00, and still had to do 4) around 2 hours of homework. Luckily, she had the last month to adjust before it counts for real in the fall.

So, we're not in Ireland anymore. I will probably delete this blog in a couple of months.
