So it's probably not what you're thinking. I know I've talked about returning to BYU to get my master's degree ever since I graduated because I really have a love for learning, but as of now that won't be happening just yet. Some things have changed in the last few weeks, and it turns out that I was offered a position teaching the 5th grade at Pony Express Elementary School beginning on August 18th. (Yes, that's in 8 days!) I'm not really sure how this all came to be - it really sort of just happened. Joey and I had talked about that as an option for me since my seasonal position at the Pleasant Grove Pool was coming to a close, and I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to do. I just applied late one Monday night a few weeks ago, got a call on Tuesday to set up an interview for Wednesday, and got a call on Friday from the principal of the school offering me the position. I was thrilled to say the least - I love the thought of teaching. I am also, however, am utterly terrified out of my mind. Since I've never done it before, I'm going to really use my resources to make this transition as smooth as possible. Luckily, my mom-in-law is anamazing teacher, and Joey has a few sisters that I'll turn to for their expertise on the subject as well. It's good to be surrounded by so many teachers- those who have the experience that I lack. Anyway, it's going to be an adventure. Joey and I know that this is truly a blessing for us, and I can't wait to get started. Check back for updates on this new part of our lives, and updates on my sanity, too! I'll let you know if it's still intact.
