My New Job

There isn't a whole lot to report about Chris and I. However, I did get a new job. It's kind of a long and personal story that I don't want to post to the world, but I stopped teaching third grade and was jobless for the entire summer. I was really nervous that I wouldn't find a teaching job before the school year started. I started to look for jobs in retail since I worked retail since I was 16 until I got my teaching job. I got offered a job at a furniture store on the 4th of this month and Chris told me that I should wait and see if I get a teaching job. I was so panicked that I wouldn't have a job at all, I accepted the job. Of course, the next day I had an interview for a position as a Pre-K teacher, which I got. So I was stuck with two jobs. Long story short, I told the people at the furniture store that I simply did not have the time or energy needed to perform both. So, now I teach four year olds. Boy is it different! First off, it's a lot less stress because the lesson plans are already written for you, all you have to do is follow them. Second, they are sooo sweet and listen much better (I guess they're still afraid of big people). I love my job, but it is quite exhausting! I work from 7:30 until 4:15. Chris and I also started car pooling because we work a few exits away from each other. It saves gas and we get to spend a little more time together, which is nice. That's all the news for now. I'll update you when my new niece arrives in roughly 13 days!
