So, since my last post (sorry they've been a little irregular) a lot has happened. I will try to give the abridged version for the sake of time out of my hectic schedule.
Karl did finally get a hold of the jail and he interviewed on Thursday. Can I just say that they loved him???? So we had a really good feeling about it from the very day of the interview, even though we felt that way when we applied, too.
And then Friday happened! Hallelujah! Christine from TLC called me and offered me a 4th grade teaching job which I accepted on the spot. I will be teaching Health, Art, Character Education, Social Skills, and Etiquette. It will be a fun challenge that I am soooo excited about.
I picked up Amanda at the airport on Saturday after attending a beautiful wedding where I was able to see a lot of my school friends and talk to Candice. After eating with some friends I went to go pick up the late arriving Amanda (they missed their connection in Chicago due to customs) and then once she came in they were expecting another hour until they would be able to park the plane. However, as soon as they quoted the hour wait, they restated that they had found a gate and they were heading that way. I was thrilled. The thought of sitting in an airport for an hour by myself wasn't that great. So, Amanda was finally back on Texas soil. She talked to some people for a while and then we were finally able to head out to a friends house. But first, Amanda's first American meal: Jack in the Box. LOL
Sunday we headed back to San Angelo where Amanda had a surprise party waiting for her which definitely surprised her. Yay!!! We succeeded.
Monday I went and filled out my paperwork for TLC and signed my contracts and I am ready to go. Yesterday, Amanda helped me order my uniform tops, now all I need to do is get some bottoms to go with the shirts. :)
We had another truly American meal for Amanda last night: Mac 'N' Cheese & Hot Dogs. LOL It's been fun around here.
Today had been a sorta chillish day, I've just been working on school stuff and trying to get our lives back in order. There has just been so many little things happening that we didn't think would or weren't expecting, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just unexpected.
Tomorrow I have my first class at Region XV and I am super pumped. (I need to get my outfit ready . . . :() Karl also has a test tomorrow that has to do with his hopeful-job that we've been talking about. Super excited about that, too. Although, it is a reading test, so we'll see. He's going to do great! I just know it! Then Friday we are having a garage sale, woot woot! Saturday we'll finish it up and Amanda will be heading to Wyoming with a friend or two. Next week I have another class and then I start working up at the school.
Hopefully that will hold you out until I am able to post again. Sorry no pics. I'm lazy. :)
