long time hello!

Happy October! It's been a long while since my last post. I miss writing and using this blog as an outlet of my thoughts. I want to dive right in and write about a bunch of stuff, but for tonight, I'll just do a quick update. Be sure to check out the new pictures I posted below of a recent trip to the Zoo with Cassidy as well as Ben's birthday celebration.

Update:
Many of you were aware that Ben and I were planning on moving to Las Vegas for a teaching job. I wish I could say that we are down there and I'm teaching and all that good stuff, but in reality, Las Vegas has been playing with my anxious teacher mind and continues to have a "hiring freeze" for some unknown reason. We decided we can't continue waiting for a job to pop open, so we'll say "poo poo" to Las Vegas for now. I am working full time as a substitute for two local school districts. It's an ok gig, but it makes me want my own classroom even more. One good thing is that I am meeting new people in the profession that seem like good mentors in teaching and hopefully will help me get an in for next year's hiring spree. Ben's still serving at Loco Lizard but will be looking for full-time employment this week.

That's what's up. Hopefully my posts will continue...if I should feel so inclined. Love you all.
