Jeremy is finally done with his first year of teaching! What a relief, for him and for me! It was a long and trying year, especially these last few months after finding out that he wouldn't be there next year. Some days it was hard to find the motivation to actually go to work and care about what he did that day! I am so proud of him for finishing it out with a bang and never giving up on the kids that he taught. I know, whether on the surface or deep down, each one of them learned something from him this year. A few weeks ago we chaperoned the 8th grade prom and although we were ignored by all of the staff, it was so fun to see all of the kids come up and say hello to him : )
So, where are we at now?
Jeremy has had 4 interviews so far, has one today, one tomorrow and one that hasn't been set up yet. Two of the schools that he has interviewed with so far have let him know that they have gone in a different direction, but the one we really want is still an option, hopefully! And ultimately, the one the Lord has for us, is still out there. As I said from the very beginning, I have no doubts that we will have a teaching job come August, I am just not sure where it will be. That part can be scary some days.
Other than that things are going well here. Summer is officially in full bloom and we are dying! LOL It's only 10am and Jeremy just took the trash out, which he regretted. We always thought being here last August that we knew what the worst was like, but I'm pretty sure we are about to have 3 months of it, versus one. Oh well - thank God for the ocean!!! I am still loving my job and have been able to pick up some extra hours here and there. I couldn't ask for better coworkers and bosses, although they really just all feel more like friends! Church is still a huge blessing to us along with our church family and all of the friends we have been able to make there. Jeremy is looking forward to his summer off. Enjoying the gym, video games and naps : ) He is really hoping that he will find out what August holds for him soon so that he can spend this time planning for it. We are also looking forward to getting up to NY in July for a nice two week visit. I think summer there will be a relief from summer here! It will have been 7 months since we have seen everyone but our parents. That's too long!
Well, I guess that's about it for now. Since Jeremy had to hand in his work computer and our computer is still not letting me upload pictures to blogger (I don't even know how it's still running!), I have to use my phone to upload pictures now LOL But I will try to be better at getting blog posts done. There just hasn't been that much going on lately : )
Have a good rest of the week everyone!!!
