I am a REAL dance teacher!

As many of you may already know, I was recently offered a full-time position as a dance teacher at Granite Park Middle School and I am so excited! It is one of the few full time dance positions that is being offered this year with all of the budget cuts. The school is in Salt Lake City, just off the I-15 and about a 45 min drive for me. Since we are living in Texas so Kalle can sell pest control I had been doing a lot of phone interviews and after getting turned down too many times for my liking and I decided that I just needed to be there in person so the principals would love me and HAVE to hire me.

So, I bought a ticket to Utah, told my boss that I would be leaving in two days, and went to Utah. I stayed with Jenn and Royal while I was there. It was so fun to just get to play!...Especially with Andelyn. she and Titan are just so cute! I am now her favorite Aunt ever.

While I was there I had two interviews, which was all I was hoping for. The first one was terrible! She asked me 3 very general questions and then told me how different this job would be from my students teaching and how difficult the area is. Bummer. But I was more excited about the second interview anyway so I did not let myself worry. The second interview was for Granite Park Middle School and it went really well...naturally seeing as a have a job there. I interviewed on Tuesday, went home on Wednesday and they called me on Friday.

As many of you probably know, job searching stinks. It was so easy to become discouraged after hearing so many no's and finally I just learned to pray like it depended on the Lord and work like it depended on me. In the end, I am so grateful that I did not get any of the positions I wanted before. This feels like where I am supposed to be. I know for sure that it will be a challenge, but with challenges come amazing experiences. I am excited for all the this year holds for us!
