It seems that the only times that I update my blog are the times that I have something exciting to report. Well whatever the reason, this blog was meant for me to journal so here it goes. I just had my last day of substitute teaching for the year. I know that might not seem like such a big deal but with the economic crisis, this year has been a huge year of growth for me. I have learned so much throughout this year, been through A LOT of stress and self-doubt, and have tried to enjoy as much of it as I can. I can honestly say that whenever I start teaching in my own room, this year of subbing has prepared me so much more than I could have ever imagined. I am so very thankful for that.
Because of the lack of jobs in the Portland area, I have decided to take a huge leap of faith and apply for jobs elsewhere. I know that leaving Portland and my family behind will be a big transition for me but putting my future in God's hands just seems right at this point in my life. We will see if I stay in the area or if I end up moving. I'll keep you updated. Don't you worry dot dot dot
On a lighter and more exciting note, one of my very best friends is getting married next week and I couldn't be more thrilled for her. I just can't believe that her wedding is so close. She really deserves that happily ever after and I know that my dear friend Natalie will find that day after day with her soon-to-be husband, Mike. I am so happy and blessed to be one of her bridesmaids and share in this important time in her life. Along with that, I am so excited for summer. I just love every bit of it...running outside, waking up to the sound of birds, eating dinner outside, and just relaxing. It should be a good summer...I just have a good feeling about it.
