Hey all y’all! I’m working on my Texan-ness.
First, it’s been awhile since I’ve shown off my two favorite men…. so what better than showing two of their pictures off?
What good looking guys?! Who couldn’t love these faces?
Well, life has turned around since my last entry. Funny how little things like that happen at the moments you feel most hopeless. The great news is that I had an interview yesterday that went fantastically well that has led to an interview tomorrow. It’s teaching 7th grade, not high school, but really, the most important thing for me right now is to continue teaching. Plus, I haven’t had as much experience with middle school, so maybe (assuming I possibly get the job) I really will enjoy it more now that it’s my class, not some other sadistic teacher’s. I just feel so lucky that I got these interviews; I really needed that self-esteem boost!
The downside now is 1) if I don’t get hired, and 2) the teaching certification process! They are 6-8 weeks behind, so I had to do some alternate steps to insure that I will at least have a temp license to allow me to teach.
I also have continued trying to be crafty! The ladies in my ward get together every month or two and do a “card camp” where they spend the evening making cards. There are 3 card styles, and we make three of each of those styles, meaning we leave with 9 cute cards! Here are the three cards I made yesterday:
Not too bad, right? I am happy that they turned out so well! and it’s a lot cheaper than buy cards like this in a store… woo hoo! 🙂
Those cards are super cute! I also like that almost every picture I have ever seen of your husband is when he is asleep!
I think the pictures are of me while sleeping because I’m not a fan of pictures of myself. And those cards are awesome. You really have to see them in person to appreciate how cool they are.
Your interview today will go great!
Hey congrats on the interviews! Isn’t it funny, right when you reach the end of your rope and are about to give up and say “I can’t do this” everything snaps into place and you wonder what the heck you were thinking.
LOVE these cards. What a great idea-Card Camp. I am impressed with your craftiness! Love you!
Hi Elisabeth!
I hope you weren’t talking about me with the “sadistic teacher’s” comment.
I sent your recommendation forms in the mail the very same day I got them. I just forgot to tell you.
Congrats on the job! 7th graders will be VERY different from what you experienced at AF, I think!
Wow, those cards are really cute. I haven’t ever read your blog or posted a comment, but I hope it works and can’t wait to read more! And I’m sure the seventh grade GIRLS won’t be too bad (I’M going into seventh grade). I make no promises about the boys.
