New Job!?!?

Did I forget to mention my big news?  I got a new job and I am super excited!  Third time is a charm but, truly, everything happens for a reason.  After not getting hired at my middle school (6-8) nor our K-12 school, I've been hired as Assistant to the Principal at one of our elementary (preK-5) schools!  {Ideal setting for a budding administrator, in my opinion}

I start on January 6th so I have officially said goodbye to my students and to classroom teaching.  Tomorrow Stevie and I are going to take my things from my classroom and set-up my office (which conveniently overlooks the playground where Harper will be a preschooler next year!)

I am very thankful for all the support I've received over the years from all my administrators and I think they've all set great examples for me.  I'm also incredibly blessed to have such a supportive husband and parents who all really step-up with the girls while I finish up my leadership degree.  I think this is going to be a challenge that I will really enjoy and be good at - once I learn what the heck I am doing!  I can tell I'm going to love my principal and I know I will learn a lot from her and her experiences.  Stay tuned.

PS - the picture with this post is me with my "congratulations - I can't believe you won't be on CIMI this year" coffee.  Thanks, DH!
