So...here goes nothing! Since I last posted, I have had two job offers. One job offer was to teach 2nd grade at the Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center and the other was to teach 3rd grade at Groveland Elementary. It has been such a HARD decision, but I decided on Wednesday to accept the Charter School position! I am SO GLAD I did! So far, I have never felt more welcome from a new faculty in my life! You have to know I LOVE my Aberdeen faculty, but when I first got there, I wasn't treated like family right away! This new school has already invited me to come to meetings, make decisions about next year, exchanged phone numbers with me, and treated me like I belong! I am so impressed! I cannot wait to try this new adventure! I feel so excited and so happy with this decision! :-) I know my Heavenly Father blessed me to be in the right place, at the right time to have such a neat opportunity! :-) I also have been working incredibly hard on my Masters and am now 32% through my first class! I am hoping to have it done in 2 weeks! This is going to be difficult, since I also have to pack up my classroom and do the end of school year things with my class! I think I can do it, if I pace myself and stay to my schedule! Here goes nothing!!  Thanks for reading! I love blogging! :-)

So...I was able to interview at the Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center and with the Blackfoot School District. I felt good about both interviews, the one last night, as well as the one this morning. Right before I interviewed today at Groveland, I got a call offering me a job at the Charter School. I now have some big decisions to make! You would think it would be easy...take the one that you definitely have, but it is just not that simple! There is so much playing into these decisions! What great opportunities to learn and grow!! I feel so very blessed for all the support received from family and friends! I truly am surrounded by great and loving people! :-) Thanks for reading! I never thought I would be a blog person, but this is kind of fun! :-)

P.S. I already am 18% through my first class of my Masters!! :-)

I am going through so many changes all at the same time that I am having a hard time remembering to breathe. I bought a house a few months ago. It has been quite the adventure! I am trying to fix and remodel everything, because my perfectionist side is not comfortable without trying to improve things. The week I moved into my house, I felt strongly that I was supposed to quit my job, so I did. I put in my letter of resignation and will not be returning to Aberdeen in the fall. I am heartbroken to leave all of my friends, but I must do what I feel is right. So the following week after moving into my house, I began putting in my applications to school districts. I have interviewed in one school district with no success. I have two more interviews this week and I am praying for the best, but I am so nervous. I don't know what I would be if I wasn't a teacher! Also, last week I turned 31. I am supposed to officially leave my singles' ward, but I am not sure how to leave more friends. I will be going to a family ward where I will not fit in, because I don't have a family. I decided I had to postpone this change, because I cannot lose all those I love at the exact same time. I am having a hard time breathing, let alone trying to do it by myself. I also am preparing to have one of my dearest friends move away! Also this week I started my Masters. I am trying to get my graduate degree in 6 months, instead of 24. I am crazy, but I want to do this as quickly as possible. I sometimes feel all alone and feel like I can't keep moving forward. Recently I had to give a talk on Enduring through Opposition. This is proof that Heavenly Father has a sense of humor, because it was a few weeks before my life was changing in so many ways. I have felt my Father-in-Heaven's help many times along this last few months, but especially in the last few weeks, as I have refocused my mind on what is important. I have started to read my scriptures again and started to pray more fervently. I can feel His all-encompassing arms around me! What a great blessing! Thanks for reading! It was cathartic to get this off my chest and onto a page. Thanks again!
