imma be a career woman...

i got the job!!!
if you know me well, you know that i've been stressing
and stressing
and stressing
about getting a teaching job.
with layoffs left and right, lack of funding from those beastly legislators, and a sudden influx of teacher candidates, it ain't your grandmama's job market no mo'!
tuesday was a big day for me as i set off to interview at what i've learned is the BEST school in the state...
this morning, i got the call from the district office offering me a contract to teach
FIRST GRADE
at
EASTWOOD ELEMENTARY!
(am i a little excited? yeah, just a little...)

And now presenting:
my future home!


and quite possibly the coolest part...
Eastwood has the BIGGEST field in the history of Elementary schools.
i can't wait for faculty softball games!!

THANK YOU, to everyone who was praying for me!
I couldn't have survived without your love and support.
...I hope you're ready to babysit the class pet!

moving day...

upon moving back home last year due to student teaching and a lack of time to work, therefore unable to bring home the rental bacon, i promised myself that i would move out as soon as student teaching was over.
well folks... it. is. OVER!!
so for the last week, i've been busy putting together a new room at my new house.
no, i didn't buy a house of my own - my cute ex-roomie, Ash, used her expert persuasive skills to get me a room in her darling house. and now, the ex-roomie is once again my favorite roommate.

we had to rent a U-HAUL due to the sparse number of
truck owners in any close proximity.
and for the record:
i have the coolest brother in the world...
driving the big rig
he was scared.
a little girl driving a big dawg...
i was scared too.
seeee?
and now PRESENTING...
mi casa neuva
i got me a new bed
(and i LOVE my windows!!)


the living room
and the kitchen!
and there you have it.
Miss Independent is once again independent.
