Just a lil' something

So really nothing has been going on for the last month. It's all pretty much school and work. Alex only has a couple weeks left in the semester and it has been a pretty hefty one for him. He has 19 credits this semester so he is usually pretty busy with homework, but I am so proud of him!!! He is doing an amazing job. He will do another semester, then have his intern, then another semester, then he will graduate!!! But, then it is on to grad school, luckily only 2 semesters will allow him to get his masters!
I just changed jobs this week too so that has been exciting. We were out of work for almost 3 months when I got hired at a Montessori school in Idaho Falls at the beginning of February. I was a teacher in the toddler class and I really really liked it. Then about 2 weeks ago I got a call from Sugar Salem school district for a position. It really came out of nowhere. I had applied there when I was looking for a job, but I didn't hear anything back from them. So I went and had an interview and they offered me a paraeducator position for K - 3. I decided to take it because it was only a 10 minute drive to work instead of a 45 minute drive, got paid better, more hours, and I would still be in my field. So it was bitter/sweet, but I am really liking being in elementary school.
Both Alex and I are really looking forward to summer! We are getting really excited to go camping. We have been talking about it for like the past month! It is going to be nice to get outside.

Congrats on the new job--that's great. I love subbing in the elementary schools; the kids are so sweet. By the way, I was subbing and met a girl that's on Jordan's rodeo-ing team. That was fun. Anyway, have a great day!
