Obviously, I am really bad at this whole blogging thing. Sorry it's been so long between all my posts. Life is totally crazy. I thought things might slow down a little after graduation but if anything else they have only gone haywire.
So, I graduated from college a little over a week ago. Crazy!!! I cannot believe it. I don't think it has really sunk in that I am done. I'm not going back. Moving out was like a whirlwind. I didn't want to leave. I don't feel ready to grow up and start a career, but I guess we all have to sometime.
With the graduation thing, I have had to start trying to find a job teaching somewhere in the state of Utah. Naturally I applied everywhere and anywhere. Like they say, "Each time you file an application, your odds go up." The one place I wasn't serious about was the one place that has actually offered me a job. I have had an official job offer in San Juan School District to teach at Blanding Elementary in Blanding, UT. They also offered my best friend Molly a position. Because Blanding is hours from anywhere worth mentioning, part of the agreement before hand was to go and visit the grand town. Sadly enough, I fell in love with it...the school, the staff, the town, but it is still 4 hours from the closest town with a Wal-Mart. I still don't know what to do about it. A lot of it still depends on my other offers (if and when they come).
I interview at Provost Elementary in Provo on Monday and loved it. Everything, there is no but about it, this is the job I want. (ok, the only bad thing about it is it is in Provo...close to BYU...I don't know how I feel about that...I may need to learn how to be nice to them...) The principal said they would know by Friday. I am really nervous and really excited all at the same time.
Now comes this clincher...I have to let Blanding know tomorrow...I won't hear back from Provo until Friday. I am going in blind. I don't really want to move to Blanding, but I could. I could be happy there and teach there. If it turned out horrible, I would do it for a year and leave. However, what if I accept in Blanding and end up getting an offer from the place I really want to be? I have never prayed so hard, so long in my entire life. This decision could change my life (either way). I really, really don't know what to do, but will have to decide in the next 18 hours.
So, now that you are caught up there, I am living in Tooele for the summer. (Hey, no rent, no food bill). I can tell its going to be a long summer...I have been independent for a long time to be living at home again. But, it is going to be good to spend the time with my family and siblings...especially to be close to my grandpa.
Hopefully, I can be better at posting here in the near future and can keep everyone updated better. Love ya all!!
