I needed a break from my insane job (read on for exciting developments on that topic) so I expanded west to Salt Lake City. It was SUCH a great trip-I got to see my brother on his mission, my good friend Tess (ex-DC nanny), the Gibbs and Heatons from my days in Baltimore, and I got to be the escort for my girlfriend Teshia, in the Draper temple. I did a session in the Bountiful temple as well. Not to mention plenty of shopping (I HEART QUILTED BEAR...not to mention Deseret Book, Cafe Rio, Sonic, and any Target and Wal-Mart out there). I felt renewed, refreshed...happy. Hmm. I haven't felt that way in a while. So I thought...I should MOVE out there! But...I don't have a job. The economy is not great. I'm getting old and I would mostly only get to pick from divorced guys...then, lo and behold I got a job interview back here in northern Virginia. And I GOT THE JOB. Come fall, I am teaching 16 5th graders English and Social Studies and I get to coach field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. I get PAID to do this. HOW COOL IS THAT? I'm so excited, and although I'll miss the dry climate and gorgeous mountains, I will be back Utah...oh yes, I will be back.
Wow! Congrats on the new job, that is awesome! I know, utah is great. But for me in small doses!
