My New Job

I can't believe how my life has been completely transformed over the past three weeks. I also have learned again that sometimes the plans we have for our lives are not the plans that God has for us. He always provides for us though. After Dave lost his job I applied for a few things that would have helped out but none that I was really excited to do. Then last Saturday my friend Rebecca from my teaching and coaching days in Wilder called me up out of the blue. She is the secretary at Lewis and Clark Elementary in Caldwell now. She told me that the principal was getting desparate for an extended day Kindergarten teacher and she told him that she would call me but didn't think I would want to do it because I was staying home with my kids. Talk about perfect timing! Their possiblities for the job kept falling through and Rebecca thought of me and called a week and a half after Dave got laid off. I am so grateful for this blessing! I am already sad to think of leaving my kiddies here everyday but I know that they have a great daddy who takes great care of them.

So I guess I am back to driving (not quite as far) everyday to get to my full time job and working with a bunch of little Spanish speaking kindergartners. I have a special place in my heart for those little kids already from my teaching time in Wilder. It is only until the end of the school year and then hopefully Dave will have landed a new job and we can get back to normal...whatever that is. I imagine this will be the last time I will have the time to post on my blog for a while between school and Primary and being mommy. I better go dig out all that teaching stuff I have been storing in the attic!
