Exciting News...

Well yall, after months and months, job application after job application, job fairs and more job fairs, my search is FINALLY OVER!!!!

WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Last week I was talking to my oh so wise friend (which is why she is my bestie) and she told me she had faith that I would hear something about a job. Well, she was right, I did get an email from a principal telling me all positions in his school had been filled, but thanks for applying, blah blah blah. I guess, I was hoping for a call about a job. I was beginning to get a wee bit depressed by the end of the week. The weekend came and went and a new week was beginning. Little did I know what this week would hold.

Picture it, Monday afternoon and my phone rings. I didn't know the number so I was going to send it to voicemail (I don't like to answer numbers I don't know - I'm weird like that). However, I just got a new phone and instead of sending it to voicemail, I answered it. Realizing it, I quickly said hello. This southern accented woman, quickly speaking may I add, started talking. All I got was "principal" "position" "do you have a job" "do you still want a job". Then I said... No I don't have a job yet, yes I would like a job...Oh I am sorry I didn't catch your name or the school. Dr. W asked when I wanted to interview, I answered Wednesday and gave her a time that was good for me when she asked. When I hung up the phone it took me a few minutes to realize I HAD A JOB INTERVIEW....sweet! Wait!??!! Am I ready for this.. .I mean this is the first real interview, besides the few I have done at job fairs. GULP!

Last night I drove up to Hattiesburg and stayed the night with Leanne and Branson, since they are half way to Jackson. I drove to my interview this morning and everything went well. Actually, Dr. W told me she had basically made up her mind to hire me after speaking with my references! Oh goodness, I need to call them and find out what all they said so I will know what I have to live up to!!! :) So I signed my employment agreement, went to central office handed in some paperwork, next week I will get my fingerprinting done and start setting up my classroom and find an apartment! YIKES! Oh did I mention school starts in 2 1/2 weeks??? DOUBLE YIKES!!!

So, now I am a McWillie Bulldog!

I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone for their prayers and support!

I really do have the BEST family and friends!

Love yall!
