Moving...

So, I accepted the job yesterday. I'm still waiting to talk to the assistant principal again today so that we can "officially" enter into an agreement for me to teach. I also talked to my department chair last night. She sounds great. Though I'm not sure how it works, the English department at PFHS works together & creates lesson plans that everyone in that course teaches (all the American Lit teachers, for example). Like I said, I'm not sure how that will play out, but I'm hoping that it will be extremely helpful when it comes to jumping in this position so quickly. I am worried that it means I won't have the freedom that I was hoping for in my classroom...but I guess we'll see.

As far as Tricia & Gwyn are concerned..things are great in Durham. Tricia is recovering faster than the doctors thought she would. It could be a matter of weeks before she is well enough to be put on the transplant list. So awesome! Nate posted a video the other day that was of Tricia talking for a little bit. It was awesome to see her talking! Gwyn is doing great too. She finally pooped yesterday. Odd to write about, but apparently that's a HUGE step in making sure she is developing properly. Now they can start feeding her milk. Oh, and her CF test came back negative. Nate says they will have to do another one when she's a little older, but one negative is a good sign!!

Had my second Perspectives class last night. It was great. We talked about the Kingdom of God and how it is the string that ties the Old & New Testaments together. It was great to have pointed out how everything in the Bible is about the Kingdom of God. And our role in this? To help grow the Kingdom on earth...through missions!!! God is so good!!!

I'm crazy nervous about this new job & moving and all that. But I'm so excited too. I finally feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I don't know how I'll feel this time next week, but for now I'm really excited. It breaks my heart to be leaving Raleigh- my church, my friends, Joey & my complete independence. But I know that these things aren't going to go away because I move an hour and a half away (well, living with my parents will dampen the independence thing). I'm so blessed! I can't even believe it sometimes!!! I'll keep you updated with what's going on.
