Catch up on life...

My life has been a little crazy this last year... I finally graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Deaf Studies. I was so ready to be done. I'm so happy that I can say I'm a college grad, and that I was able to get my degree in something I really love. I have been working at LDS Family Services for about two and a half years now, and I LOVE IT!! When I graduated I started to apply for teaching jobs (kind of as a wish, because I'm not a certified teacher), and full time secretarial work. I could really only apply at one school, a Charter school, because I'm not certified, and I didn't really think much would come of it. I didn't really hear from any of the places I was looking, but I wasn't too surprised by that. I figured it would take a little while for me to find something, because I had recently graduated. I decided to treat myself to a graduation vacation, and I headed to Arkansas and Tennessee. While I was in Arkansas I got a call from the school I had applied at... They wanted to meet for an interview! I was so excited! Like GIDDY. I couldn't really control my excitement. Then I started to panic. They wanted to meet two days after I got home. So, naturally, I said yes. I went in for the interview thinking I wouldn't get the job, because there are a lot of awesome ASL teachers out there, and I graduated with great people that were also applying for the teaching job. I thought the interview went well, and was anxious to hear if I got it or not. A couple of days later was my mom's birthday, so the family was going out to dinner. I was riding with Clayton and Paul, and on the way down I got a call from a number that I didn't recognize, it was the assistant principal of the school!! She wanted to offer me the job!! I was so excited. This time I couldn't control it, and the boys also started to freak out. That was nice of them. It was fun to get to the restaurant with such awesome news. I had landed my dream job, and I had only graduated two months earlier. SO AWESOM!! Since then I have started teaching. I love it. It is a little stressful, but I feel like I'm getting the hang of things. I feel like the students are improving and they are really enjoying the class. I hope thats true. Other than teaching there isn't a lot of new going on in my life. I'm getting ready for a new nephew and a new niece. I love being an aunt, and I'm so happy that two of my siblings have moved back to Utah so I get to be Auntie. Life is good. I will post more detailed posts about graduating, my trip to AR and TN, and about teaching. I just wanted to catch up on my life.
