Opportunity only knocks once


As some of you know, I have a new job! I am now teaching at Bloomington Hills Elementary- 2nd grade! So here's how it happened:

My mom's friend is a principal in the district and her friend mentioned that there was a job opening. A teacher's mother had died and she decided that her family needed her to be home. After I found out that the opening was at Bloomington Hills Elementary, (where I was last year) I had to at least apply for the position and see what happened. Two days later, I was hired for the position, and then 5 days later I started teaching. Whew!

My first week has been very tiring due to super long days and nights of preparation at the school. I honestly feel like I have been there for a month, not a week. But I love the kids. I love the school. I love the principal and I have the best 2nd grade team ever! Wow, they are amazing teachers!

So there's the scoop.

Success always comes when preparation meets opportunity

Our temporary new school


The Dixie Center

Well, school is here and our new building is not. So the next 2-3 weeks we will have school at the Dixie Center. Yeah, it's going to be crazy and rough and hectic, but just one more reason to look forward to a wonderful, brand new school! We had our Back to School night last night, and it was great meeting the students of Vista. We are going to have a fun and exciting year!

When you're here, you're family...


and families are forever. Hence the fact that I will STILL keep my job at the OG while teaching. So really why? Well, I've decided to put my teacher's earnings towards our bills, savings, and all other expenses. However the OG money will be for SPENDING!!! That's right. All the money I earn goes towards whatever the freak I want at the moment!
