August Currently--Only 20 Days Late!!!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...chuckle if you want. But at the beginning of August, I was living on an airbed in a completely empty apartment and driving around a town I'd never been to, relying on a GPS to get me everywhere--including to my new job (which happens to be 40 miles away from my apartment). I even went almost THREE WEEKS without internet or cable. So yeah, I have an excuse to be 20 days late on my August Currently.

What a difference a month makes!
Looking back on the last entry I made on this blog makes my chin quiver a little bit. I was so depressed because of the bleak job search that I was immersed in at the time. I'd been on 6 interviews at that time and, although I'd had principals tell me I'd impressed them in my interviews, I did not have a job yet.
Thankfully, I never gave up and kept on praying. It's been an incredibly hectic few weeks since then so I haven't had much time to get on here and give an update on the situation. About a week after that blog entry, I had a FaceTime interview with a school down in Georgia for a 6th and 7th grade special education position. I was officially approved for the job on July 23rd.
In less than two weeks, I went from searching and searching for a teaching job to moving into an apartment by myself--sleeping on an airbed for almost two weeks with no other furniture except a camping chair. Then Chad was finally able to move everything down in the moving truck on the 8th and 9th. It still seems completely unreal that we are here in Georgia. It's an 11-hour drive from Memphis to where we are. Oh, and by the way, I should mention that I am literally 10.5 miles away from the perfect spot on the beach (and that is an exact number...I just Google Mapped it)? I love this new life we are creating here in Georgia.
I will try and post more on here in the future now that everything is settling into a routine. Thanks for not giving up on me, ya'll!
