On Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 around 4:30 in the afternoon, I received a call from a man named Dave who offered me a full time teaching position as a 4th and 5th grade looping teaching in northern WI.
I, without a moment of hesitation, accepted.
It felt good to finally be wanted by a school district and shown that I had something to offer and add to their district. I loved finally be able to call my family and friends and share with them the exciting news. It was bittersweet telling my church family as I will miss them so much, yet I'm thrilled about the opportunity to join with another church family and build more relationships. It BROKE my heart to tell my Little Sister the news; I've been praying that we really will stay in contact as we move apart in physical distance.
The shock is starting to wear off, and reality, thankfully, is starting to come back. I spent the evening looking at apartments and starting to make lists of house things I need to buy. Maybe by the end of the weekend, I'll be able to start thinking about what I'll need to prep for teaching or start doing in-depth research on 4th-5th grade Common Core.
My job hunt is over, and I couldn't be more happy and content with how God worked it all out.
