Big Day

Three posts in Three Days. This is a record. But I couldn't not say anything...


I GOT THE JOB!!!


I'll be teaching 6th grade math in a few short weeks and I'm SO excited. Freaking out a little bit, but SO excited. Now onto the bigger issues, finding a place to live closer to the school, getting some training done, wrapping up my part time work at PC and of course VACATION. This is going to be a crazy time for me, but when we move into town, we should get Internet and maybe I will update more often. :)

What a difference 24 hours makes

To think nothing much had happened on the job front 24 hours ago is so crazy to me. I got a call at 7:30pm to interview for a 6th Grade Math Position at a middle school in Tyler. There was much jumping up and down and a little squealing. I interviewed at 11am today and it went as well as could be expected. The principal was very encouraging and told me that even if I didn't get the position at his school, I should continue pursuing teaching and would make a good teacher.

On a funnier note, as I was waiting in the office, a couple of kids were there waiting on their mom to finish some work. They were probably in middle school and one of them had on some sneakers that seriously looked like the 80s had thrown up on them. They had neon pink, yellow/green, and blue on them. High tops. I just shook my head (inside of course, I wouldn't want to be rude) and was thankful that since I wore such things the first time around, I don't have to wear them this time around. I am not a fan of neon colors. :)

I'll find out about the job next week sometime. I'm just praying that God will let me know if this is what I am supposed to be doing or not. I know that He has a plan, and I can't wait to see what it will be. But for now, I am praising Him for the encouragement of the interview I had.

Not much new here...

I say that and now I will end up with a lengthy blog about something. No news on the job front. I emailed a principal with an opening today. But it is out of my hands. We will see.

I got my hair cut yesterday. It is identical to when I got it cut for my birthday in March. It wasn't the plan, but then again, I didn't really have a plan. Good thing I liked it in March and I still like it now.

I'm going on vacation in Colorado in 16 days. YAY! I love family vacations, and Colorado is definitely our favorite. We are spending 5 days there this time (vs 3 last time) and I know it is going to be great. However, I am going to figure out how to get myself out of bed so I can work some mornings. I'm trying to get extra hours in so that I won't have to worry about working while I'm gone. And at this point, I really can't do without a week's worth of income. Especially because...

I'm going to start looking for a new place to live in Tyler. Woo Hoo! I love the house we live in now, but it would be nice to be in town, and have internet at home. It would make work (and keeping this blog updated) infinitely easier. One of my roommates and I are about to start looking and see what is available. We want the lease to start the middle of August-ish, hence the looking now.

In other news, one of my dearest friends is having another baby and I am so excited! Who it is, you will have to wait and see, because the whole world doesn't know yet, and I'm not spilling it. Luckily all of my roommates now know and so I don't have to be quite so secretive. :) If only I didn't have to wait until January to meet this new little one! Well, it will give all of us time to get ready.

So there you go. For the four or five people who read my blog, a brief update of sorts. A blog about the not very much going on in my life. Hopefully one day soon we will all be rejoicing that I have found a job. We will see.
