Mat's Surgery

Mat's surgery has been scheduled. It is on June 2nd at 7:30am. He will be in the hospital for between 3-5 days.

Had to buy...

So Mike came home from work on Sunday night and informed me that my car was leaking something, and that he thought it was the water pump. He then told me that if it is the water pump he couldn't fix it, and that it would be cheaper to buy a new car.

So this morning we went down and looked at cars, and originally decided to go with the Ford Freestlye, their crossover vehicle, then I saw the price and decided that I didn't want to pay that, so we went for the Ford Freestar.

We weren't able to finish the paper work because Mike had to go to work, so we will go back tomorrow morning and finish the paper work.

So tomorrow we will have a car that was made in this century..wow what a concept..

The Next Step

Well it is looking more and more like we are going to Vegas...
I have put in my application to the school district there, my license will transfer over, or rather I qualify for a license in NV, now it is just a matter of the interviews.

Michael is helping us find a house and I have to say that I never thought that we would be able to afford a house in Vegas again. Some of the houses that we are looking at are ones that we have looked at in the past.

So next month I am going to Vegas and we will see how everything goes. We have decided that wherever the Lord wants us is where we will be.

Life Changes

You know it is interesting where life leads you. Mike and I thought that we had it figured out, we were going to stay here, buy this house, he would either stay at the jail is in now or go to the streets, I would start teaching with the school district here, and the boys would grow up.

However it is looking like our little dream isn't going to happen. The realities are that with today's economy teachers that would normally be retiring this year aren't, what does this mean for me, well it means that it will be that much harder for me to get a job here. Because of this I began to but out feelers around the country to see what there was out there for a Spanish teacher. I have been amazed about what is out there for a Spanish teacher, if I am willing to leave NM.

So we have narrowed our list down to 4 places. 3 we would never have even thought of, and 1 we swore that we would never do.

It is between the following places..now this is only is I can't get a job here..
1. Maryland
2. Virginia
3. North Carolina
4. Vegas.

We have our suspicions about where we may end up, however we aren't making any decisions until the interviews are done and a position has been accepted..

So keep tuned in and we will see where we end up...
