This is a picture of the outside of the apartment we are trying to rent. It has a yard for the digdogs, washer and dryer hookups, and a DISHWASHER!!! |
As for what the job is, I will be teaching Communication Studies/Speech at the oldest Junior College in TX! It looks like my schedule for the fall will be 5 sections of public speaking, and one section of Argumentation and Debate. I've never taught the latter before, so I'm going to be busy keeping ahead of my students this semester. Even so, I'm really excited, as teaching full-time is my dream job, and I have been jonesing for a chance to teach at the college level again.
It also has the benefit of being about 3 hours away from where the Philosopher lives, so we will be able to see each other more often. All things being equal, I would love it if we can see each other on a weekly basis, but realize that every other week is probably more realistic. It is also only about 6 hours from my sister Sarah, so I'm going to get to see her more often as well. She doesn't know it yet, but I'm probably going to crash her Thanksgiving dinner, as long as she will let me (although I don't know if it is really crashing if you ask permission!).
The Philosopher sent these to me as a congratulations on the new job. As far as I can remember, this is the first time anyone has ever sent me flowers. I'm so blessed with him! |
Because I'm moving, I'm probably not going to be writing very much in the next week or two, but will try to begin posting 3x per week once I'm settled so that all of you can keep up with what is going on in my life. All I know is that I'm really excited to be starting the next chapter in my life, and look forward to sharing the journey with all of you!
