Big Changes

Well with the ending of summer comes huge changes for our family. All of a sudden last week Josh got two interviews for ITRT positions with Stafford County and Fredericksburg City schools. He interviewed with Fred City on Thursday afternoon and Monday morning they called and offered him the job. It's a 12 month position with a really good salary increase, but it means a lot of adjusting for our schedule we've been used to for 12 years. I have to get used to him not being around in the summer or over breaks. We've been lucky to both have the same schedule unlike most of our teacher friends. It also means I had to switch Juliette out of RE LEE and into my school. His school is very sad to see him go, but it's a great opportunity for him. The secretary cried about how she had watched Juliette grow up and now she wasn't coming to the school. I had to remind Josh that when she was born and we headed home from the hospital, we didn't go home. We went to RE LEE first! But now we are on to bigger and better things. Josh is thrilled and has cleaned out his room this week while Juliette was at VBS- vacation Bible school.

She's gone each day from 9-12 and has loved it. She comes home telling us about the puppet show and the lesson they learned and who they learned about that day. Now we are heading into August with one last big vacation of summer. We are going to Daytona Beach for 3 days and then a surprise trip to Disney for little miss. She knows we are going to the beach, but that's it. Yesterday Josh told her the beach was in Florida and she told him that Disney was in Florida. He told her we weren't going there and she was ok with it. I can't wait to see her face when we pull into the resort.
