Something New

Ever have to pinch yourself because something was too good to be true?  

Ever have to stop about ten times a day to whisper an incredulous "thank you" to the Lord for something SO unexpected?

We've had many blessings in our short time together as husband and wife-  Norm's salvation, our awesome honeymoon, a very special bible study group, and add to it now, a wonderful new job for me!

This year I'll be teaching at Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine.  I was offered a Full-time Fine Arts position  and I'm now teaching High School Choir and Drama.  Yea!!!!  Who would have thought that this was possible when all other schools are cutting back their fine arts programs...

I've spent many hours reading through music and plays, trying to find choir dresses, meeting with colleagues to discuss the best way to begin a Parent Booster Organization, and generally getting more and more excited.  And school hasn't even started yet!

I will miss working with young children.  Singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" everyday was pretty cool :-) And, nerd that I am, I enjoyed my work in crafting the perfect pedagogical techniques for elementary-aged students.  I will especially miss the many special families that I leave behind, but one of the great things about Crean is that I will have the opportunity to re-connect with several students who sang with me in elementary school and now will sing with me at Crean!

Thank you Lord for your blessing and abundant provision.
