The first chapter to the rest of my life...

A lot has happened - mainly, I got a new job. HALLELUJAH! It was definitely fate...or my dad...who had a hand in it. My boss seems really awesome, my duties will still be working with kids, and I'll still be feeding that educator in me. I'm excited, but I'm apprehensive. And who could blame me? Look at the situations I've been thrown into in the last four years.

So I'm excited about this new chapter. It will be hard, it will be exciting, it will be stressful and it will be fun. But this is the first chapter to the rest of my life. We'll see how the book ends up.

I've been thinking of my dad a lot lately...then again, when don't I think about my dad? I wonder what he's thinking. I wonder what sign he'll show me that it will be ok. The sky last night while Eric and I were fishing was spectacular. The a beautiful sunset, dark clouds and a rainbow. It was gorgeous and I'm glad I was able to see it as I'm supposed to see it. Simply sun, clouds and a rainbow. Maybe sometimes I look for more in that, but really, it's nice to enjoy things simply.

So for right now, especially since I'm not prepping for next year, I'll just enjoy the simple things. It's nice to know I've got a new direction to go in.

So dad, what do you think about that? I'll be waiting for the answer.
