The most exciting week ever!!

I know, I know...I am slaking in the blog department (sorry Grandma), but it is only because so many great things are going on! Last week I received a phone call from the Brunswick (Brittonkill) School District for an interview for Monday (6/8). I was very excited because this district in particular stood out to me. Their mission statement was very similar to my teaching beliefs. Their students also do a lot of community service type of work, which has always been important to me. The following day after I received this phone call, Dan received a call with our closing date, Wednesday the 10th (which happens to be his birthday). Well, I was happy but really wanted it on Thursday or Friday so I could take a couple of days off to work on the house. So, Dan was able to move it to Thursday the 11th!! Just 3 more days away!!!

Megan came into town on Friday and we had a mother daughter dinner at the distillery. We had fun showing our moms why we loved that place so much....and the smothered cheese fries!! After dinner, Megan and I went and watched Joelle's softball game and then headed to Pelican's Nest! I love my BFF's!! Dan came into town and met up with us. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling very well so we headed home.

Anthony and Emily's shower was on Saturday and what a success it was!!!! It was a Luau themed dual-gender shower filled with great food, great friends, and great games! I love Kan Jam!! It is the best game ever! Here are some pictures from the Luau:

Dan and I headed to Albany on Sunday since I had the interview on Monday. We stopped at camp on our way....I love the smell of the campfire---Summer...ready or not, here I come!

So I thought that my interview went well but wasn't expecting to hearing anything till the end of the week. So, when I got a call that afternoon offering me the job, I was shocked! Yippy!! I HAVE A JOB!! And not only do I have a job, but it is a position that I was interested in and in a district that I liked! I feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted off of me!

On top of all that, I was home in time to make it to girls diner and then off to have a drink with Anthony and Emily. Today is the 2 year anniversary of them meeting! They are so perfect for each other!

I am heading back Wednesday night to celebrate Dan's birthday and then to our closing on Thursday! So much going on!!!!
