Big News...

I got a job! Due to the shortage of teaching jobs in Utah right now, I have been scrounging for anything I could get. I even applied for a water meter reader job. That could have been exciting. Thankfully, though, a lady at church works for the local elementary school and recommended me for a secretary position in the main office. I know it's not teaching, but it's actually a great job. It's within walking distance, I get experience working at a school, and it gets me into the district for teaching jobs coming up in the fall. Plus I get school holidays off! Today was my first day, and I can tell already that the work is never ending but fun. It ranges from recording tardies and attendance to dealing with sobbing kids whose mommies didn't show up. I am so grateful to have a job, especially in such hard times, so I can finally get out of the house and have something to show for my day!

Congrats, Lauren! I always thought I would want to be the elementary school secretary someday (even though I went to school to be the teacher at the elementary, not the secretary). It seems like such a fun job!! Enjoy! (What school is it?)

I'm glad you've lined something up Lolly, especially in this market. Just think, the time with little kids will help you be more prepared to be a mommy!
