My summer in Vegas

Geez its been way too long since I posted something!!! I'm going to gradually post pictures and stories throughout the next couple of days of my adventures in Vegas. I had such a crazy, eventful summer. But I couldn't of asked for a better one:) I made some amazing friends along the way (who were my mentor teachers:)). I couldn't of asked for better people to go through this experience with. I followed them around like a little lost puppy and they were so kind and generous to me. I will never forget the students I taught. It's like when you remember your kindergarten teacher because it was your first experience of school. Well... I'll never, ever forget these kids and what they have taught me. They were the best class ever and impacted my life in so many ways. It was sad to leave but I know their only an e-mail away. I guess I should update everyone on Brett:) Well after a struggling summer with Living Scriptures, Brett landed an amazing job at Travelers Insurance as claims adjuster. He started this past Monday and loves it!! With this job, Brett gets a company car, new computer with printer and all the works, new camera, new cell phone and they pay for our internet!! Oh and the best part is.... WE GET BENEFITS!! YAY!! As for me and a job. I interviewed at Cahlan Edison Elementary for a kindergarten position, I know way out of my comfort zone, but I got hired on the spot!! Crazy! But with the different laws here, I wasn't highly qualified. So I have to take a couple of test down here and pass before I can get hired on as a full time teacher. So they were going to put me as the long term sub until paper work goes through. But.... If a school isn't title one then they could hire me regardless if I'm highly qualified or not. So I interviewed with Kim Elementary School for the KIDS program. Which is primary children ages 3-5 who have Austism. The interview went great and hopefully I hear back from them soon so I could hired on there as a full time teacher and not just be a sub. But we'll see. Wherever I need up is where I'm meant to be:) Oh and we're moving to Summerlin tomorrow!! I'm super excited to set up my new aparment. I haven't seen some of my stuff in a long time, so it will be like Christmas opening those boxes!! Brett's leaving me on Sunday till Friday to go to Denver for more training:( So if anyone's in Vegas call me!!! Well I guess that's all for now.. More stories and pictures soon:)
