Hi there! How are you?
Speaker 2
I am fine, it is stressful leaving the state.
Speaker 1
Oh no! I bet. It would be hard for me as I am so shy.
Speaker 2
Oh really I like meeting people a lot. Well I am moving next month.
Speaker 1
That's too bad. Where are you going?.
Speaker 2
Neighboring state. I like the weather there..
Speaker 1
Is it warmer? I always wanted to go to florida, but my dad was too overprotective.
Speaker 2
Oh yeah, and it does not snow heavily..
Speaker 1
Good! I shop online to avoid going out in snow. I love doing that anyway.
Speaker 2
I went to a strict school but it does not stop me from loving football.
Speaker 1
I'm a homebody. I just stay home with my kids and watch movies. I love it.

You should be some mommy's boy. My dad used to bee the headmaster in my school.

My kids and I saw a very funny movie.
Speaker 2
Nice... was it an animation movie?
Speaker 1
You know me too well...yes! It was really cute with lovable characters. It is on Netflix and it's called Chloe. Watch it!
Speaker 2
I sure will! I can’t believe I missed it on Netflix. Maybe tonight :)
Speaker 1
It will cheer you up after a long work day, for sure!
Speaker 2
Yup... that’s my favorite way to unwind!
Speaker 1
Have you hired movers yet?
Speaker 2
No, I’m just waiting to finish up with packing my stuff to have an idea of how much stuff. Probably by next week!
Speaker 1
Moving can be stressful with so much to do. But, worth it once you settle into the new place!
Speaker 2
True... it’s been crazy! Can’t wait to be all settled in at my new place.
Speaker 1
Have you thought about a color scheme yet to decorate around?
Speaker 2
Thankfully the interior decorator is taking care of that!

The kids and I decided to go to the park and enjoy the afternoon with a picnic.
Speaker 2
That sounds fantastic! How was it? What did you bring to eat?
Speaker 1
Nothing too fancy. We brought some sandwiches, iced tea, and some snacks. The kids really enjoyed running around out there.
Speaker 2
That's great. You have to love just watching them run around and burning out all that excess energy eh! Did you play any games while you were there or was it completely a kids just being kids situation?
Speaker 1
I just took the time to try to relax a bit. I've been pretty busy at work the past few days and really needed a bit of a break. The kids really liked seeing the ducks at the park, but I have to always warn them not to touch them.
Speaker 2
Haha! No doubt! Those ducks can be quite territorial at times! I once walked by a mother and completely missed that she was protecting her new ducklings.. lets just say my shin was a little sore after that encounter.
Speaker 1
Yes, they seem to want to pet the ducks, but then the ducks end up chasing them and they get scared and run away. It ends up becoming like a game to them, but I'm trying to teach them to respect the ducks too.
Speaker 2
That's good! It's great to teach kids while their young about these kinds of things. So did you actually get to relax or was it just trying to? Sounds like there was a lot of duck patrol and not enough you time haha
Speaker 1
Well early on they got a little bit too involved with the ducks, but I managed to get them to calm down and watch them from a distance with me after a while. Do you spend much time going to parks?
Speaker 2
Occasionally. Lately I've just been packing and watching Netflix. Although I started watching season 2 of Ragnorak and it was more watching than packing because I had to read the subtitles haha!
Speaker 1
Oh, I've been thinking about watching that. What did you think of it?
Speaker 2
Season 1 was really good, I was waiting for this one to come out! It's been intense so far, but sometimes it's hard to keep up with the subtitles. You can't be tired to watch this one!

I got attacked by a mother duck one time. I think it is important to teach children how to respect things. I sometimes go to parks. I am packing. I am watching season 2 of Ragnorak. I liked season 1 of Ragnorak but sometimes find the subtitles hard to keep up with.
Speaker 1
What are you most looking forward to with the move?
Speaker 2
I think it iwill be great to meet new people and also check out new parks and places to take the kids. do you often go to parks with your kids?
Speaker 1
We do, quite a bit. We've been going to the pond quite a bit, and also to the bike track lots recently. My youngest is just learning to ride without training wheels. Do you cycle with your kids ever?
Speaker 2
I do! its such a fun way to explore and get the kids to burn off energy. what sorts of winter sports do you do?
Speaker 1
I completely agree! I've been so busy lately I haven't been playing, but usually I play indoor soccer in winter. The kids have just gotten into fencing actually, which has been interesting. How about you guys? 
Speaker 2
I used to fence as a kid! it was great for core strength. i've never tried an indoor sport like soccer but maybe I should for this winter when things get too cold for biking and parks and whatnot. might be a good way to make new friends in a new town!
Speaker 1
That's what I've been telling my kids. But yeah totally, I'm sure there'd be a centre near you guys! Are the kids helping with the packing? 
Speaker 2
alas, they are useless, lol. they want to help but just make a mess because they're too little to pack things safely so they put fragile stuff in piles. oh well. i'm just trying to keep them busy until it's show time! how old are your kids?
Speaker 1
Haha I thought that might be the case. Mine are completely the same. Last time we moved we just had to ship them off to their grandparents to get them out of hair. My daughter is 5 and my son is 8. How about yours? 
Speaker 2
oooh I hadn't thought of that! I thought I was doing them a favor letting them have more time in this house but maybe it's better to let them have a "vacation" somewhere else, lol. mine are 3 and 6. tough ages to wrangle when it comes to trying to stay organized.
Speaker 1
Oh i highly recommend it. Mine love it, they get spoiled and we can relax for a second. But yeah god totally, three years is a nice age difference though, don't you reckon? How does your oldest feel about moving to a new school? 
Speaker 2
I do like their ager difference. older kid is able to help model better behavior for younger kid most of the time, lol. it's a good gap. and they aren't having the same experiences so close together that it stops being special for either of them. the oldest is excited about a new school, which i'm grateful for. I worried they'd flip out.

When I was a child, I did fencing as a sport. I live in a place with cold winters. I haven't done any indoor sports. I have two children aged 3 and 6.
Speaker 1
Do you know anyone who lives in the place you are moving to?
Speaker 2
Nope, but I have a friend who lives in the nearby city, and he will help me moving in once I'm there. 
Speaker 1
That's good. What is the place called?
Speaker 2
I'm moving to downtown Cincinnati, OH. Got a position at the University of Cincinnati. Wow packing with a 3 and a 6 years old is torture, do things get better when they are 5 or 8 like yours?
Speaker 1
Oh nice! So happy for you! Yh it canbe manic packing with little kids but it does get better indeed. At mine's age they are a bit more interested in their tablets and video games so I can manage to get things done. You must have great locations for cycling in downtown Cincinnati, right?
Speaker 2
I see there are some parks, but even their website said it's not a safe place to bike around. Many bikes got stolen.
Speaker 1
Oh darn! I guess you have to be careful. So what would you be doing at the University of Cincinnati?
Speaker 2
It's a teaching position for mathematics department. Will be teaching lower level math courses. The job that not many people like, I guess. What are you doing for living?
Speaker 1
Sounds interesting. You must be really good at mathematics. I'm a software engineer. It's been great as I get to work from home occasionally and spend time with the kids. 
Speaker 2
Working from home is so nice. I hope I can request to teach online courses so I can spend time with my kids too. 
Speaker 1
Ye it is! Hopefully you are allowed to. It's great to not always have to go to the office. How can you find out if working from home is available?
Speaker 2
Before the semester started, the department will ask for our teaching preferences (what course we'd like to teach, method of delivery, etc.) Normally they will try to fulfill as many requests as possible, prioritizing instructors' seniority and special situations.
