This update was long overdue but definitely not because of a lack of things going on.

In May (yes, it’s been that long since we’ve updated), Charlotte received her masters degree from Texas Women’s University. She is now a Master of Library Sciences. Recently, Charlotte secured a position as the Children and Young Adult Librarian with the Durham Public Library in Durham, NH. Way to go!

Lorenzo is searching for a teaching position for the 2006-2007 school year and has applications filed with many schools. The job market, as it was last year, seems pretty challenging for teachers in New England. Though he has 3 years of experience under his belt and the No Child Left Behind status as a highly-qualified teacher, Lorenzo has been waiting and praying for the opportunity to teach again. On September 26 Lorenzo interviewed with a school in Lowell, Massachusetts.

In other job news, the media specialist position at Best Buy has been a tremendous amount of fun and in August Lorenzo was offered an administrator position with Magnolia Home Theater, which is located inside Best Buy but a partner company. Management has been looking into what the potential pay grade increases may be (if any), which they will soon present to Lorenzo. We’ll keep you posted on any news regarding either the teaching interview or the upcoming meeting where Best Buy presents their offer.

On Saturday, August 19 Lorenzo and Charlotte visited the Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, NH. The museum is the New Hampshire seacoast’s oldest neighborhood, dating back to the 1600′s. Guests to the neighborhood’s homes included George Washington and John Hancock. The museum has different homes that each fly a flag in front of it that show what period of U.S. history the home was from. Inside, the rooms are made up to showcase the history of the home and the look of homes in that time period. Here are some photos of the day, including some craftsmen and staff dressed in costumes of the era:

Over Labor Day weekend my in-laws also visited. Ed and Tina Miller joined us for a few days of shopping and viewing of the New Hampshire scenery. We visited some craft fairs in Northern New Hampshire and drove through Mount Washington, near Conway, NH. The fall foliage starts soon and Lorenzo and Charlotte are planning on returning to Mount Washington for the view. They also plan to drive to the top of Mount Washington (there’s a road–no 4×4 needed) on this next visit. More photos will follow, but enjoy these from this Labor Day weekend trip:
