Thankful #5

We are both thankful for our jobs, especially with the economy being what it is. Adam worked very hard and was promoted in August, which in turn, caused us to move to Southern Arizona. He wanted this position badly, and earned it after turning a branch in Cave Creek from losing money to earning money in a few short months.
This meant that I had to leave a new job after only being there for a few weeks. It was hard to start a new job in Kyrene, go through the new teacher orientation, set-up a classroom, and then find out we were moving. Everything worked out, and I was let out of my contract once they hired a new teacher to take my place.

We were a little worried that it would be a little more difficult for me to find a new job in Vail, since it is a much smaller area and there are limited positions. I applied to the Vail School District and a day later got a call from a principal. It wasn't even for any of the positions I applied for, but she scanned my information and called me. I had an interview a mere two days later. Two hours after the interview, she called to tell me they loved me and want to give me the job!

I started two weeks later and I absolutely love it! I think I found where I belong at this point in my life. I sincerely miss my students in Tempe, but I am able to stay in touch with two really special girls through email and Skype.

We are both thankful that we have nice jobs that afford us to do things, live in a beautiful home and enjoy life! :)
