However, it could be significant! Ben had an interview this morning with Central States Manufacturing for the two positions they are considering him for! Can I get a WOOT WOOT?! One is a financial analyst position, the other has something to do with credit... (I think.)
He is currently at yet another job interview for Arvest. We don't have a lot of info about this position. He had a teller interview last week, and they passed his resume on because he is SO AWESOME! I think it's for a financial sales representative position. I'll get him on here to do a better update of his life. Is it sad that I'm not 100% sure about all of this? Lol.
My life is kind of crazy right now. By crazy, I mean crazy awesome! Last week, we had the awesome opportunity to watch my cousins and sisters while our parents went on a cruise to Alaska. Needless to say, we had an absolute blast. I took a break from school stuff and hung out and had fun with the family. We played the wii, made a fire to cook hot dogs and s'mores, played with the dogs, went to see Epic, went bowling, and played lots and lots of games at home.

Oh the blissful days of being young and not having to fulfill job responsibilities. Sometimes I wish I was not an adult...
I feel like I have a lot of responsibilities on my plate right now, but I'm getting it under control. I'm on the Emergency Preparedness Fair donations and sponsors committee. Apparently, the EPF here is crazy. It's a HUGE community event. Last year, we had well over 4000 visitors. It's hosted by the LDS church and the local BSA troops. So, my responsibilities consist of calling last years sponsors, thanking them again for their help, and finding out if they want to be involved again. Hopefully they say yes, but if not, then I have to find more sponsors because this is a huge production. I'm getting to practice skills that I will need to pull some stuff off at school next year with FCCLA and community events that the school will be involved in. I just know that the reason I was called to this EPF assignment is to help me for next year. I can feel it.
School is a big crazy mess. I think I have signed up for all the professional development hours I need. Oh, I guess if you didn't catch it on facebook, I got a full-time job doing what I have done for the past four months--teaching at Pea Ridge High School! I'm so grateful I got that long-term sub job. So, during the summer I am attending some conferences for classes I will teach. Those don't count for PD, though, because they were paid for by a grant (lame. if I paid for it from my pocket, it would count. but we couldn't really afford it. I just get more learning experiences!).
I will be spending a total of 3 weeks during the summer attending trainings. I still have to get my classroom all in order, get the nitty-gritty classroom management things in order, figure out how to teach 97% paperless, create/fine-tune curriculum for a new class we are getting, purchase supplies for said class, estimate budget and lab costs for said class, and prepare myself for the other SIX PREPS I will have. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, during this upcoming school year, I will be teaching SEVEN different classes. Two are a full year. Five are semester classes, two first, three second semester. I've got my hands full. BUT I know it's all in the Lord's hands. He knows what I am doing here. He knows who He wants me to become, and there is purpose in us being here.
In the almost six months we have been in AR, we have seen definite blessings for our faith in moving here. We have also seen specific reasons why we moved here. Most of them are regarding students I have dealt with this past semester. Some graduated, and some I will get to continue teaching next year. All of them have blessed my life, that is for sure. And I have seen my skills bless them as well.
Also, one of my students took a picture with me and posted it as her woman crush Wednesnesday on instagram... lol
I'm so excited for this chapter of our lives. Now...if only Ben got one of those Central States positions. They loved him! They told him they are referring his name for the next interview, so hopefully that goes through :)
