Update

So, I had to create a new blog because of some safety concerns with my brothers job. Just a quick recap of my life this past year:

1. I moved here last May, started working at Bath & Body (just transfered from Chicago).
2. My first week here I completed my Alternative Certification course to be a teacher.
3. I Immediately got plugged into helping with the student ministry at Faithbridge by going to High School and JHigh Camp, then to Honduras for a LeaderTreks trip as an adult leader.
4. As soon as I got back from my two months of ministry with Faithbridge, I resumed my search for a permanent teaching position in Klein ISD.
5. I wasn't getting enough hours at Bath & Body so I took a job at Starbucks.
6. I continued working with the students at Faithbridge as a small group leader.
7. A permanent job didn't seem to be working out so I decided to start subbing and getting my face in the schools.
8. I worked for a while subbing in the day and working at Starbucks at night.
9. I then was able to move out of my mom's house and into my own apartment with my store manager.
10. I continued my search for a permanent teaching job, with no luck and MUCH frustration.
...skip to more frustration and not understanding the job situation...
20. I GOT A JOB!!!!
21. I finished out the school year subbing and went right away into summer ministry with Faithbridge.
22. I came back from Costa Rica as an adult leader with a voicemail from Cy Fair Human Resources as well as a message from another principal to set up an interview.
23. The message from HR was a job offer and when I went to the interview I immediately fell in love with the staff and really wanted to be offered this position.
24. Just a few short hours after my interview, I was offered the position as a 5th Grade Social Studies/ELA teacher position at Matzke Elementary in CyFair ISD.

That should catch you up on the last year of my life. I promise to work harder at keeping up with this blog with many stories from my kiddos.
Oh, and my niece and nephew are INCREDIBLE! More pics to come
