Opportunity comes knocking...

Hey everyone! (Hopefully people are still reading about our little life!)
The past couple of months have gone by in a flash. So many things have happened, that I need to start at the beginning.

It begins with an end. The end of the 2009-2010 school year came and I found myself without a job. (Turns out, they don't have a need for substitute teachers during the summer) So, I tracked down an email address a friend gave me and applied for a bill processing job in Logan. I applied on a Wednesday, and by the next Monday I started a new job.

I REALLY enjoy working there. It's called Conservice and they are a third party billing company that handles billing and Utility processing for large companies and apartment complexes.

After I had worked there for about a week and a half, I get a phone call from the Preston Idaho School district. They wanted to interview me for a high school English position for the next school year. HURRAY! :) I was so nervous and excited.

I went down and since my husband wasn't available, by Dad gave me a father's blessing. I just want to interject here and say that I am so grateful for worthy Priesthood holders in my life.

Anyway, I have my interview and go back to work in Logan. The next day Von Tobel, the Middle School I taught at in Vegas, calls me and asks me to come back and teach for them! My goodness, I was so torn. I told them I would LOVE to, but I needed to get back to them because of my interview in Preston.

So, I'm nervous, and grateful because I realize that no matter what happens, we won't be homeless for another year! :)

So, I go into the District office the next week to talk to the Superintendent. We chit-chat about why I would want to teach in Preston, my Education Philosophy, etc. and we shake hands and I leave. I'm just about resigned that I didn't get the job and preparing to call Vegas back, when (at 9:00 at night) the Principal, Mr. Lords, calls me and offers me the position in Preston!!!!!!!

I was/am super excited! Dallas is still working in Brigham City, and he will probably start getting client in Brigham and Logan, and throughout Bear River too! So, we got an apartment in Logan, we've been here about a week, and we are just so grateful for the prayers and support we've received.

We are so blessed in so many ways. It's crazy to think that we lived out of two suit cases for the past year, and now we have an apartment full of things that at one time or another we thought we needed. Well, life is exciting and keeps us jumping. Thanks again for all your support through out this past year.

Love,
Andrea
