I can't Explain It!!

I can't explain it. It makes NO sense at all. Really, it shouldn't have happened. All I can tell you is that it DID HAPPEN! It really DID! I got a job at Vista Heights Middle School, as the Lead Secretary! Surely there were hundreds of more qualified applicants. Apparently they NEVER hire from outside of the district, and without lead secretary experience. If you are thinking miracle....well SO I AM I! I feel so blessed and lucky...and I am soo excited. This is the brand new middle school that my girls will be going to next year, and then Tyson a few years later. The Principal said he felt strongly that I was the perfect person for the job, and he is so excited to have me on board. I start in August. I am sad to leave jetBlue but the hours did not allow me to go to church on a regular basis, and I am having to work holidays and nights. It has been rough! Who'd have thought I would miss going to church so much? J/K! The school hours, although full time, are going to ROCK! I have a Financial Secretary, an Attendance Secretary, and a Registrar all with tons of experience who are hopefully going to help me get trained and ready to go by the time school starts. I can't wait!!

On to other news! The girls just had their first long course meet of the season. MAN it is a LONG way from one end of the pool to the other. I guess that is why they call it LONG course! The girls did great, but were pretty beat by the time it was over, since they swam 3 events each! Tyson and I have been having some fun going to the hills near our house and shooting his bb gun. We set up pop cans and make them our targets. Although it is not my FAVORITE thing to do, I love how excited he gets, and spending a little one on one time with him. We are down to 3 weeks of school left. I don't know who is more burned out on homework at this point...me or the kids. Does every mother feel this way towards the end of the school year? I am just ready for some good ol' lazy summer days! We have some fun trips planned before I lose flight benefits, so we are ready for summer to be here!

Awesome Holly! You are working with some great women! I think you will be the best thing ever and your cute smile will set the tone for welcoming everyone into the school.

I'm so excited for you!

Are you nervous about being bullied? All the kids are going to be bigger than you. I'm super excited for you and know that all our prayers were heard! Love you!

Oh Holly, I'm SO happy for you! You deserve it completely. Middle school kids watch out, a tiny new secretary is coming your way and she means business!! Love you!

I'm sick of homework too---come on summer. I think you might have to wear a sign letting people know you are not a student, teachers might try to herd you into class!!
