In honor of my 200th post to my blog, I have changed the format of my blog. I know, the pink was just ridiculous.

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS

I've had one interview call and one job offer since I took the job in Washington. What a weird time this is for us! Now I'm turning people down after a year and a half of practically begging them for a job. Neither of the positions are as good as the one I have but they are still professional teaching positions and that makes me feel great! The day I got my job I threw out tons of files of prospective job information. It was so cleansing. What a load lifted.

On another note, the blogs may be few and far between from now until we get settled in our new life but we'll try to keep you posted as much as we can! I'm heading up next week for meetings and stuff and then we move on the 30th.

The view out my window. It's a spinach field but has been harvested. The slide is one that isn't really used any more, because they have a new playground.

I spent the last three days getting my classroom ready for school. I have posted some pictures below and hope to take another one of the whole room when it's completely finished. My Mom, Dad and Grandma all helped me at different times. Next week I officially start inservice and different meetings, and we move the weekend after that.
