It has been a long time coming....

Well, I have been gone for a while. During the last week or so, I have been on a couple interviews out of the metro area. I had one in Hastings (what a beautiful city) for a part time preschool teacher and one in Hibbing for a full time Kindergarten teacher. Both interviews went well!

Last Friday was a day like any other, I was trying hard not to think about if I was going to hear from the principals. Well, I happen to be working and went to check my phone and I had a message to call the principal in Hibbing. I knew what that meant! If they give the position to someone else they will tell you in a voicemail. If the leave a message asking you to call them back that can only mean one thing. So, I called her back and SHE OFFERED ME A JOB AND I ACCEPTED!!!! I was in shock!! I called my mom first, then my dad and told some people at work. Word travels quickly, soon everyone knew. I will meet with the principal in July sometime to sign paperwork, get the keys to my very own classroom and find a place to live.

I am extremely excited to start this new adventure! I know no one in Hibbing, but that is exciting to me! I am looking forward to decorating my classroom and apartment, meeting my students, exploring a new city and getting to my new co-workers. I have not slept the last two nights because stop thinking about what my apartment and room will look like.

So, I am looking forward to my new adventure (hence the title of this blog) and I hope you will continue to follow this blog because it is going to get much more exciting...I hope!
