Things have been busy and I haven't been keeping up. We are in the process of helping set up for the new church that begins this Sunday and I am in charge of Children's church. So I have been trying to find stuff and figure some things out. This is all very new to me so I'm not sure I'm doing the best job, but I think time will help with that.
I also got amazing news on Saturday about a school here in my town who is hiring new teachers. Well not necessarily "new" but they have a bunch of elementary/early childhood positions available. So I called them on Monday and the head of the school wanted me to drop off my application that day because they are interviewing this week. I had already completed my application and so I took it directly there that morning. This morning I spoke with him and I have an interview tomorrow morning! I am really excited but very nervous as I know that God has called me into this profession. I know that deep in my soul. But God isn't in control over the economy and how people are being right now. So the jobs are slim and almost impossible to find. I am going into this prepared and I feel in my gut I have a great shot. At which position, I have no idea. But there is one in particular that would literally be a dream come true. It is a position where I would only teach social studies. That is my most passionate subject and I could teach the children so many things about history. But alas, only time will tell. I am still hoping for a position at the school that I worked at previously. But God knows where I belong and He will make sure that His plans for me are followed. I am hoping that I do get a position because not only will it be rewarding, but I will be able to keep busy and keep my mind off Chris being in Iraq. And any distraction is a great one. And the time will go by faster if I'm not sitting at home worrying about him all the time.
Chris is in class this week and then he will be home this weekend. On Monday though he heads to the field for three weeks. Then in July he will get to take leave and that will be our last time with him continually until he gets back from Iraq. We will survive this because God put us together and has given us this incredible family. And as long as we put God first then we can get through anything. I truly believe that and I think it will help us get through this deployment.
School has officially let out for the year and my oldest has done incredibly with her straight As again! She received an award for the Highest Academic average yesterday and I couldn't be more proud. She is a wonderful child and God blessed me greatly when he brought her into my life. I can't wait to see how each of my girls is going to turn out. I am so proud of each of their milestones and accomplishments. Although with Lizzie she hasn't done much but hold her head up yet. And I am very proud that Meadow is mostly potty trained. She has an accident here or there but overall she does very well.
I have been very busy but I'm glad. Busy is good. I have another appointment this afternoon for some stuff and then the interview tomorrow. I don't have much else this week until my birthday on Saturday. Then next week seems to be full of dentist appointments. I do hope all of this goes quickly as I like time to go fast when Chris is gone.
