So I realize that I have been slacking on here as of lately...like really slacking, okay I suck. I have been super busy teaching my UB kids, up until last Thursday. So once again I am unemployed. I am still on the search for a job, but so far no luck.
Between my lack of posting I have in fact met someone. He is so wonderful. He is 26, and every bit as country as one can get. I love it! He is so wonderful with Nach...I really feel lucky to have him in my life. The only down side is that he lives 2 hours away. He is wanting me to apply for teaching positions up there, but I just don't know. (Though I am seriously considering it, what could happen?!?!?!)




The three of us are going camping this weekend. I'm really excited! Well I better go pack!

Busy

I promise y'all I'm still here. I have been super busy with job hunting and teaching UB. I promise for a real update soon. I have yet to find a job. :( But I'm just trying to stay positive. I know that God has a plan for me, so I'm trying not to worry.
I have been so busy that I haven't even read any of my blog buddies. I hope everyone is doing alright. I will post a real update soon. So sad about MJ, FF, and EM.

Screening Interview

Tomorrow I have a screening interview with a school system. I am soo nervous! I'm terrified I'll freeze up and not answer questions the way they want them answered. I really would love this job...there are two possible openings. I can't even figure out what I am going to wear either (I am stressing out)! I am thinking about this little combo...

I've had the skirt for awhile now and I have yet to wear it and I thought that it might be alright for tomorrow's interview. What do y'all think? Oh and of course I'll keep the jewelry simple with my pearl earrings and Pandora bracelet.

I got a call yesterday from a school system in WV they are going to post more openings Thursday and they want me to fax in their bid sheets. I really want the job I am interviewing for tomorrow, if I had my choice (there is about a $4,000 difference in pay, between the two).
I also have orientation tomorrow at 8 a.m. for my "month" long English teaching job with Upward Bound. I am really nervous because I will be teaching high school kids, which I have never done. I am so used to the little ones I don't know what I am going to do.
I better go figure out what I am going to wear for that interview.
Let's hope I get past this interview and sail on through to get the job. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Job Hunting

There is not a high demand for elementary teachers in this area. Which isn't a good thing for me. I have been filling out application after application. Yesterday I dropped off some at a couple school boards in the area. One told me that they would put me on the list for a screening interview! :)
I've also mailed out some applications. I called today to resubmit my app for some newly posted positions and they said all they needed was a copy for my certificate. I asked if I should mail it to the same place I did my applications and they said I could fax it in (which I took as a good sign!).
My plan is to begin working on my masters and get a few years of teaching under my belt, before packing up and heading south! So I am more than ready to get this show on the road!
Hopefully I will hear something soon! Any of y'all have advice for finding a job right out of college?
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Memorial Day Weekend

We've had a pretty fun weekend. Nathan and I tagged along with Mom on Friday and Saturday to a wedding that my brother was in. Nathan had an amazing time, he got to dance with the bride and caught the prize (i.e. the garter). =)
Yesterday and today have been lazy days. Today NACH, dad, and I went fishing! We actually did pretty good, though I haven't tried to take a fish off the hook...I'm to darn scared!

Here are some pics from the weekend. The towns where the wedding and reception were just too cute! I've got to go back and take some more shots!

A covered bridge! Y'all don't even know how excited I was for this! (Small things in life I guess.) ;)

Church where the wedding was, along with Mom and NACH


NACH sporting that deer caught in the headlights look! =)


Friday night while everyone else was at the rehearsal dinner NACH and I drove out to the lake! (He looks like he has a black eye, due to his allergies poor thing!)

Fishing!Grillin'
Right before he got in trouble for having that dirty hand near his mouth, I know he is all boy.


I have been watching John and Kate plus 8 throughout the weekend. I can't wait for the season premier! What do y'all think, is all this cheating business really just publicity?? Kate always seemed so bossy so who knows...


Memorial Day

Today we salute those who sacrifice their lives for our country and our freedom.
Thank you!
