I'm back, for now

I realize that I haven't blogged for over a year, but I can not change the past. This last year has been overwhelming so blogging hasn't been at the top of my list of priorities. It still isn't, but I will try to do better. I have been reading my dear friends blogs. I enjoy hearing about your life. I hope that you too enjoyed it when I was blogging and will try to keep that in mind when it has gone too longs since last posting.
I'm still working at the same school, and I still don't like it. The silver lining is that as of this Friday we are officially half way through the school year. The second half of the year seems to go faster then the first despite the lack of breaks or maybe because of it. Spring break is super late this year. I hope I can make it.
June holds greatness for me. I am finally getting my wish to move back home. By the time we move I will have been living in the desert for nearly 13 years. My experiences have made me who I am, so I wouldn't trade them, but I am very happy to be going home. The hubby is not happy about moving but is doing it for me.
Speaking of moving we are going to be needing jobs. I'm a bit nervous about finding work. If anyone knows anyone who works in the SL school district that can recommend me or even give me some insider tips please let me know. Oh I will also be applying for the Jordan district. I taught 8th grade math for 6 years and I'm in my 3rd year as a high school counselor. My teaching licence allows me to teach K-8 and my counseling is K-12. I don't do elementary school! Oh and the Hubby is a truck driver so if you have any connections there we would really appreciate it. He doesn't do Pick up and delivery. It's not what you know it's who you know. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Well that is about it for now. I'll try to post again soon. When the mood strikes.

  1. It's good to see you post Annie. I am sorry to hear that you are moving, but will keep an ear out for any opportunities I hear of out that way. My brother actually works in the SL area as a teacher - not sure about specifics though.

    I'm so sorry this last year has been so hard, but I want you to know that you are an example to me. You have hung in there and have always seemed to have a cheerful countenance, even through the pain.

    Here's to hoping your last couple months in Vegas (ie the desert, ie Satan's armpit) are wonderful and memorable.

    Love ya!

  2. Welcome back to blog world! I don't really have any school connections but I do have a school that I LOVE in Utah. It's the school my kids attended while we lived there. Navigator Pointe Academy in West Jordan is FANTASTIC. It's a charter school and the Director Judy Farris is wonderful. Good luck looking, add this one to your list.
