Moving Day

By Scott:

Moving day is here. We start this afternoon as we have to proctor an exam this morning. Katie and I actually began our move last night when Katie took over a load in Clay's truck while I had to wait on some students at the college. We will take a load over shortly and our next entry will be done at the new place. last night we treated ourselves to Sushi at a restaurant called the Thai Orchid on Seven Mile Beach Road. The sushi was great and we have definitely found our Valentines Day place. The new car is working out but we are hearing a squealing and will be taking it back in next week to have them check on the fan belts. There was also a mix up with the log showing it as a 2003 and the dealership saying it was a 2004. The dealership is having to clear it up with the licensing bureau and meanwhile we are waiting to get the final insurance certificate for them to clear it up. We really don't care if its 2003 or 2004 as it will have little to no re-sale value when we go to sell it but we don't want to get in trouble when we take it in for licensing and inspections.

There are three weeks left in the Summer Quarter. We are already deep into Fall registration and knock on wood the numbers this year will exceed last years at the pace we are on. The newspaper article seems to have been well received and yesterday I met with the general manager of the Marriott resort who wants to send some of his employees to ICCI. We have gotten a few key donations like a copier, which was incredibly needed. we also have gotten a new white board for one of the classes and a fire proof cabinet. All of that has helped us begin to see tangible changes as well the intangibles of higher numbers. Katie and I are convinced that the road to getting ICCI back to its pre-Ivan numbers is visible we just have to keep pushing the rock down the road.
