Crazy Goodness

A few of you fellow bloggers already know this because I sent you an email, but for everyone else (look how I implied that I have a huge reader base...lol) I just want to pass along some really great news!

I HAVE A TEACHING JOB!!!

I'm going to be teaching second grade which is great. I did my student teaching in second grade and I loved it! The campus is fairly new and the principal and staff that I interviewed with were so friendly.

I'm thrilled beyond belief and a little relieved that the whole interview process is over. Unfortunately while I was concentrating on the getting hired process I did not focus at all on the moving process.

I'm leary of posting too many details on the internet (a girl can't be too careful) but I will say that I'm going to be moving to South Texas and it's a long way away from home and family. My parents are going down with me this coming weekend and I'll begin the apartment/rental search.

I have to be down South by July 31st so it's going to be crazy for the next several weeks. On top of still working (who knew getting a job would cost so much?!) I have to pack, paint furniture, wrap up business here in town, say goodbye, and all the things that come with something new.

Did I mention that I'm excited, scared, nervous, thrilled...practically everything at once. I'm a little overwhelmed but I'm in a good place.

So, THANK YOU to those of you who have said prayers or sent good wishes my way. I promise to stay regular on this posting business as much as I can but I can't promise new (or interesting) posts each day. It's probably going to be like sitting through someone else's vacation slide show presentation...lol.

There is always light at the end of a tunnel:

If we will the heart to surrender
its most precious secrets
the skies open
and we are showered with possibilities

(See how nice I can be, occasionally?)

Congrats on your new job! Both my parents are teachers so I know the work that goes into being one. I am sure you are going to do a great job and postively impact so many kids lives! Congrats again!

I'm not even supposed to be here today said...

That is such good news! We need as many good guys in the schools as we can get. So congrats, and thank you!

Deb said...

Surgical mask and plenty of antibacterial hand gel!

Congrats Steff. When I get power and institute a Roman-style decimation of the teachers I will make sure you survive.

Steff said...

Mike: Ah...you're just a big softy. Thanks :)

Beth: Thank you for the encouraging words. I'm excited!

Rachael: You're welcome. If you get a chance you should read some of the past ones...there are some hot ones.

Deb: Sounds like she's feeling better. Glad to hear!

Linda: Thank you so much!

Jamie: I hope they feel that way! I'm going to miss you so much.

Wordbearer: I'm tempted to ask why you'd have them decimated, but I'm glad to know that you'd spare my little life.
