Once a Wildcat...ALWAYS a Wildcat!

I started applying for jobs awhile back and was very concerned about getting a job this year. If you don't know (and if you don't...you've been living under a rock!) the education budget cuts this year have been substantial, and my education friends and I have all been worried about finding jobs.

I've always known that I wanted to work for Paris ISD. Matt had talked me into filling out my North Lamar ISD application, since that is where he went to school, but I never had the chance to turn it in. ;) I went in for interviews at Justiss Elementary in Paris, where I have ALWAYS wanted to teach, and as of yesterday I have officially been hired as a 3rd grade math/science/social studies teacher. I am so excited about this opportunity! It is basically my dream job and I could not have asked for a more perfect situation for my first year of teaching.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who prayed for Matt and I and our job searches! I know that I am beyond blessed to have this job and I promise that I will not let my Alma mater or any of my future kiddos down! :)
