I have news. For the past four years, I have worked in a wonderful school district. A school district that is advanced in technology, has a brand new school and an exceptional staff. I could never imagine wanting to leave this place until now. I drive about 50 minutes each morning and afternoon. Once I get Madeley to the sitter and get to school, I'm tired of being in the car. And... you know I'm late. (Pretty sure they CLOSED down highway 35 this morning. I was later than late today!!) I'm tired of the drive. Is it okay to say that? My dad says I'm not allowed to say I'm tired. But I just am. I want to get to work quickly and be home sooner. I want more time with Madeley and Derrick, and less time in the car.
All that being said, I interviewed for a math position in my hometown, and they offered me the job. I happily accepted. This is going to be great. This is going to make my life easier, but it doesn't make it easy to leave the people I love at my current job. So this is one of those transitions I referred to in my change blog. It is right around the corner. But I do still have some time with my current coworkers. I will enjoy them for the next two months. Then through the summer, I'll look forward to my new job. My new job is going to be great. I will be working with wonderful friends and teaching great kids. What more could I ask for?

Outside friends
This is what Madeley was doing outside today...
She is looking into the neighbor's yard. This is what she is looking at...

Today is bittersweet. My mother's surgery was two years ago today. This day is significant because it is the last day we talked to our mother. The day was long, traumatic, and difficult. I remember wondering how in the world this could happen to her... to us. We spent the next month at the hospital experiencing several ups and downs. I'm glad we are slowly moving away from that time, because I do believe time heals the heart. But I miss my mother so much every day. I wish I could tell her about my new job. She would be so happy and so proud!
Thanks for reading. Enjoy the weekend!
