2 months in...

I have had a stressful but amazing 2 months. In May, I was pink slipped at the school I was at. This is very common with brand new teachers so it was not a surprise to me and didn't hurt my feelings because of the environment I was in but left me for a stressful few months. Because of the wedding I didn't even think about being job less until afterwards. After we got back from the honeymoon I began searching and applying for any job I could. Two weeks before school started I applied for a job at Jacob's old elementary school, Madison County Elementary as an instructional assistant. It was not want I wanted but it was something in a better school. I got the job and was welcomed with open arms. The faculty is so nice and God is spoken about frequently. We pray at faculty meetings and get togethers like it is normal. I am so thankful. As school started the kids just kept coming. Especially in Kindergarten, each teacher ended up with 26 students. This is entirely too many in a k class so a new unit was formed. Every one in the school asked if I applied for it which of course I did. I interviewed two weeks later. At the end of the day that I interviewed I was offered the job! I am so thrilled to be in this school with these sweet babies!
