Just because it's the summer doesn't mean we've slowed down at all!
WORK
Hubby has been hard at work while a new renovation takes place in his building (and has been totally excited about the progress).
Before school even let out in our county, I was off to nanny a couple counties over! I've got the same sweetheart I had last summer, and a few weeks in, we are having a blast.
FAMILY TIME
We've been travelling to see family, and family has been travelling to see us! We got to catch up with Hubby's fantastic brother and his incredible wife a few weeks ago (okay, the real reason we went was to see our adorable nephew--don't tell the grown-ups ;) )! And I got a WHOLE WEEK with my little sister! Talk about fun times and blessings--especially since I got to see my parents on the two weekends surrounding that week! This upcoming weekend, we're off to the Savannah area to go celebrate my sweet Grandma's 70th birthday! Woo-hoo!
The week my sister came to visit, we also got to "Journey Off the Map," as we helped with VBS at Watkinsville FBC! Caity and I had a blast working with the sweetest group of kindergarten girls, and my heart just melted when one of our little ones prayed "that everyone would know that they're fearfully and wonderfully made!"
THE FUTURE
The biggest update of all though: I've been a little hesitant to share too much about job opportunities, but I officially signed my contract yesterday, so now there's no gettin' rid of me now! ;) I am so excited to (finally) announce that I have accepted a position teaching fourth grade at Winterville Elementary School! Fourth graders are so fun, and I can't wait to see what the year ahead holds. So many faculty and staff members have already greeted me with warm smiles and supportive, encouraging words, and I am so thrilled to be a "Winner Bee!"
Thank you to those of you that have prayed with me and for me about what the future holds! I'm excited to now share a little piece of it and will keep you updated throughout my first year of teaching!
Blessings,
Michaela
