And All is Well in Our World

It has been a long year for our little family. As we waited for our house to sell in Alabama, we moved to Tomball and stayed with my sister and her family. Luckily, I easily found a job before we moved, however Shane struggled finding a teaching/coaching position. After much hesitation, he accepted a paraprofessional position at the same school I was employed at. For any of you that know Shane, elementary was not at all where he had anticipated enjoying his career. As a matter of fact, if you would have even mentioned teaching young kids to him a year and a half ago, he would have laughed in your face. Well, I am not sure what happened, but apparently the children in the Title I school we were employed pulled at his little heart strings and he felt like that is where he was truly supposed to be. He received his certification in elementary education with hopes of finding a job. Along with his paraprofessional job, he refereed soccer on the weekends and taught baseball private lessons during the week. Over this past year he has looked weekly, if not daily for a teaching position. With the cuts in education and the down ward spiral of the economy, we have been holding our breath wondering if he would find a job. After months of wondering if we were doing what God had planned for us, our house finally sold in May and we bought and moved into our home in June. All that was left for us was for Shane to find a teaching position. Well, I am pleased to say that Shane was offered and accepted a teaching position in Spring ISD as a third grade math and science teacher. He is really excited about the job and is hoping he can make an impact in his student's lives. It has been a long year, but I can finally say that all is well in our world!
