Hurray!!!

Today prayers have been answered for Geoff and I.

I have been job hunting for the past 2-3 weeks in a very specific job field. Instead of working in an office environment, I decided to hold out and look for a job that i would be truly happy in and we all know that is in the special eduction field. The school districts are REALLY hard to get into, as they usually hire within, so I was getting very discouraged.

BUT TODAY I GOT A JOB!! I will be a lead aide specialist in an inclusive 5th/6th grade special ed classroom! I am so excited! Not only is the pay not too shabby, but I get all the benefits of working for a school district-- paid summers/spring break/holiday break off which is great with Geoff being a teacher! Great health insurance benefits (which we desperately want and need right now!)

I am overwhelmed with gratitude to my Heavenly Father. He has taught me so much humility lately and really blessed me with so much. I can hardly wait to get back into the special ed field as it has been almost 2 months since I quit my job in Utah. I am so grateful for good days like today that make all those rough moments quickly fade away!

I am so excited for you Cami! There are not enough people in this world like you!! Too bad you didn't move here! I would have requested you as Justin's inclusive aid in Kindergarten. We just transitioned him from a spec ed classroom, and he is doing fantastic! So much better than he was. Fortunately he does have a great aid to help him out when he needs it. I hope things continue to work out for you guys in Houston!
