Big News!

It's official!

I'm heading back into the classroom in the fall.

About a month ago I had an interview for a first grade position and was there for 2 hours talking and touring the school.  The principal was so kind and I really liked the school's atmosphere.  She unofficially offered me the job (but couldn't officially since it wasn't open/available yet).  I came back 2 days later for Move Up Day to meet my class for next year.  It was surreal! I left with faces, names, and photos of my classroom.

I was on cloud nine. 

This week I finally was able to get down to HR and start all of the paperwork!

So we're official kids!

The school is a little farther than I had hoped it to be, but I'm excited. This is a change in school districts for me which also means a raise (PTL!) It's a little sentimental because I have been at my last school for 7 years (since I graduated college). But it is definitely time to move on. As you all know I learned a big lesson from the twins- change can be good!

 I can already tell that this school's philosophy and such is right up my alley. I'm so happy! 

I have loved, loved, loved being home with my kids this year but my heart is so passionate about teaching.  I have missed it so much!  For those of you who have reached out via Instagram, blogland, and Facebook regarding my job hunt - thanks for all of your words of encouragement and concerns these past few months.
