Job
OK so we moved to Rock Hill in May where I was jobless. It got around August 6ish and I still didn't have a job so I looked into long term subbing. I got a long term sub job in a county next to us for kindergarten. I was excited to get my foot in the door and back into the classroom however, I was really hoping something would open up in Rock Hill and it would be permanent.
I worked getting that classroom ready for the school year and the weekend before the kids started school, Clint and I went to visit my parents. I saw a listing for a kindergarten position for Rock Hill listed so I emailed the principal. Sunday as Clint and I were driving home I received a call from the principal asking for an interview on Monday. While I was beyond eager for an interview, I couldn't go Monday b/c that was the first day my kids at the other school started. I explained the situation and she asked if I could come in 1 hour. I, being a bit shocked and extremely excited said sure. We rushed home, I changed clothes and I left for my interview on a Sunday afternoon at school. It went well but I wasn't sure if I got it or not. I had no time to dwell on it, I had my first day of school the next day and I got ready. That day I checked my phone after lunch and saw the other principal had called. I couldn't call her back until I dropped the kids off at buses so I was scared, excited and eager about what she was going to tell me. After dropping the kids off at buses, she offered me the job. I then left school, drove straight to my new school where I had open house 1 hour later and got kids that Wednesday.
It's been a whirlwind but an amazing one. This school is just so beyond awesome! Everyone has been wonderful and I'm so happy to find my forever school! I have 19 kindergartners (ahhh LOVE having a small class!) The school incorporates art into their curriculum. My kids go to dance, drama, art, music and PE for specials....I'm so proud to be part of such an amazing school.
House
We looked for awhile for a house. Nothing really screamed out "This is the One!" I started to get really discouraged. So many of the houses were so personalized and we felt like we would be redoing so much. While we both love working around the house, we also both have very involved jobs and when we got home, we didn't want to have to worry about the 18,208 things we wanted to change in the house. We finally found a house! It's perfect for what we wanted, not too small, not too big, new but not brand new and really just very "us". We love our new neighborhood. I will get pictures up of the house soon....I promise.
This Past Weekend!
Kelly and baby Emily came to visit! It was our first overnight house guests and we had so much fun. It was so beyond great to see one of my best friends and of course we enjoyed getting our baby fix for awhile. I miss them both so much already but so thankful they were able to come up.
I think that sums up the big events that I haven't blogged about lately. I've missed the blogging world and I'm excited to get back into it!
