seriously?

ok, so really? Has it really been almost 4 months since I last posted? SOOO much has happened since I posted during NM-SBA testing out in the hallway! ha! I will try to play catch up in one post and post new pictures of our house and classrooms in the next week or so! Since May, we have GRADUATED!!! finally. We had a great graduation filled with lots of family and friends, and super generous ones at that! This totally helped with our move...!

Right before graduation, we had a job fair and some really promising interviews with school much closer to home. Steven took a job offer about a week after we graduated with his hometown of Loving, NM. He'll be teaching middle school math and coaching basketball! After some really promising interviews, I applied with Carlsbad schools and hoped for the best! We moved on faith that I'd hopefully get hired - we pretty quickly found a house to rent in Carlsbad and got ready to start with the rest of our lives!

Now we've been living in Carlsbad for about a month and a half - Steven and I have BOTH been hired! I have been hired with Carlsbad schools (half-time for now - but trying to work me in full-time!) I will be teaching 7th and 8th grade social studies! Both of us have been working hard in classrooms and trying to get ready for our first year of teaching. We are nervous, but excited! Steven will do an awesome job and I am hoping I can do the same.

We have been incredibly busy but incredibly blessed. Steven has started inservice and I start tomorrow! :) It will be crazy, but we are so happy! Pictures to come soon! :)
