or is it...

i got up this morning, put my hair in a ponytail and packed my bags. i piled them in the car and drove to pick michael up for lunch.

on our way down the road, i got a call from another school. the first grade team leader asked me to come in for an interview, to which i happily replied that i was in town and would be happy to come. it was scheduled for one hour later.

i hopped in the back seat as michael pulled into a sonic. i changed clothes while he ordered tater tots (we had suddenly lost our appetites). we ate a little and had a few sips of dr. pepper (thank the Lord) and i dropped him back off at work. i began my drive to the school all the while wishing that i hadn't made it a ponytail day. grrr...

i get to the school and interview with the principal, vice principal and first grade team leader. the interview went pretty well and we all seemed to get a long just fine. they described their school as more like a family and that really struck a cord with me. love it!

after my interview today, they had two others and then 3 on friday. well, a few minutes ago, i got a call offering me the job. well, she told me that she had recommended me to HR for hiring (she's not supposed to call the applicant, so don't tell anyone!). she said after i left that they were just all very impressed with me and after interviewing the other two, they just felt sick that i would probably drive home and then be called to come in and sign a contract and would have driven a lot for no reason. she said, "we were just so impressed with you and we thought, 'just poo on the friday interviews'. you were perfect. just perfect."

WOW!!!!!

isn't it crazy how God plans things. thank you everyone for praying and for your encouraging words. thank you, Lord, for the wave that pushed my boat in the right direction (jenny was right, even almighty is a great movie).


i guess no news can be good news or bad news. it just depends where you're standing.
