So, in addition to the biggest change happening for me this summer - getting married - I'm also changing my work situation. Looks like I'm going higher-ed. I've been teaching at BSU - Boise State University - in the evenings for the past 3 years. Now, I'll also be teaching at NNU - Northwest Nazarene University. I secured an adjunct position teaching first year Spanish for this coming school year. I know they're not official professor positions, but I'm pretty proud of myself for having the skills to have both BSU and NNU on my resumé.

I resigned from Marsing. I taught there for 5 years, and I feel good about that. It was a growing experience. I had a great principal my first 4 years there who really helped me come into my own as a teacher by his confidence in me as well as his direction.

The rest of my work situation is a little bit up in the air, still. I'll meet with my BSU supervisor this afternoon to discuss further work opportunities in the ABE (adult basic educ.) department there. I also have a phone interview scheduled for tomorrow morning with an online school to teach Spanish online. I'm not really sure how it works teaching a foreign language online, but I'm willing to try anything once.

So, that's that for me. I'll let you know how it all turns out.

Plus, check back and I'll post pics of our new furniture that will be delivered on Wednesday!
