It has been A YEAR since my last post! Can you believe it? Not that I have many followers...only 2 right now ;) Who knows? Maybe people will start to flock to the Knechtion because they hear how interesting my posts are (sarcasm intentional). The last year has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Last time I posted, I had just been hired at LMMS for a long term sub position. That was amazing! I loved every minute of it and it really helped solidify the fact that I am meant to teach <3 I had a great year, until...(da da dum) the woman I was in for returned!! Can you believe it? I was supposed to be there an entire year and here she is, ready to come back! UGH! I was devastated...
The last few weeks there were hard. I was so upset and didn't want to leave my students. They threw me a surprise party on my last day and boy did I cry! The day after I left LMMS, I received a call from a charter school. They needed a 7th grade English teacher for the remainder of the year. I was hired the next day and off I went to center city. Oh my goodness! Let me tell ya, that was quite an experience. I was so used to my suburban kids that walking in my first day to the charter was like a slap in the face. Literally. I dredged my way through the rest of the year and was so happy for summer.
Oh! I almost forgot! Hunter and I bought a house in November. It's wonderful! I absoutely love it, but the experience of buying the house is quite another thing...STRESSFUL! I was so excited about buying a house and very optimistic, but the stress was almost too much to bare. Thank goodness it's over and now all we have to worry about is paying our mortgage! Ha!
Okay, where did I leave off? Oh yeah! Summer...summer was welcomed with open arms. I was happy to be home and enjoying our house. I had so many great intentions for the summer. Number one...our 4th of July bash. It took a lot of planning, but overall we hosted a great party and I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed themselves. Our home is on a big hill with a magnificent view of the valley. We saw fireworks for miles...beautiful! After the party, I was kind of bored. Nothing more to plan. I began to sell Premier Designs Jewelry for some extra money. It's great! I love the jewelry and doing the shows. But, I really wanted to find a teaching position. I looked, and continue to look, everyday for a positions. I mailed out about 14 resume packets over the course of the summer. I finally got a call from Boyertown SD last week and had a second interview this week. Now...waiting for a call....we'll see; I'll keep ya posted!
