Okay this a MAJOR update..
Well its been a long time since I have updated. I have so much to catch up on.


So.. I went to Idaho a month ago to make a surprise visit to one of my best friends my first year of college. Her husband had asked me to come up for a surprise baby shower. It was so much fun and defiantly a ride down memory lane. It was so weird being back in Idaho, I sort of missed it but not enough to ever go back.

Then the following weekend I went to Sparks, Nevada, close to Reno for a State Leadership Conference for Student Council. I was super excited about going until, the day before I realized I may not have my job for next year. My excitement soon became not excited at all and now maybe a little depressed. I went to the conference and had a good time but wish I would have treasured it a little more since I never actually thought it would be my last.

After the conference I came home and became very depressed with what was happening with my job for next year, I felt like the administrators at my school were beating around the bush, not really telling me I did or did not have a job. I soon figured it out, they had eliminated my job, supposedly to "save" me. What a bunch of crap in my mind.

I then realized that I did not have a job for the next year and had no idea what I was going to do, I became sad and depressed and spent many hours crying. I felt like I could barely talk to anyone without getting teary eyed. One day I was talking to one of the administrators and I just started crying for no reason, I went to my back storage room to get myself back together before my class started, my students came back asking me what was wrong. They had asked me to not tell my students I wouldn't have a job next year at the school because they were worried calls would be put into the school asking why, and I guess they didn't want to have to deal with that. It was that day that a young 15 year old kid said something to me that I will never forget. "Ms. Tracy, don't worry, just remember when one door closes another door opens." How true his wisdom was.

I decided at the last minute to go home for my week long spring break, I felt I really needed to be around family. Before I left I scheduled an interview for the Monday I got back for a teaching job in a near by town. I had a great time at home and enjoyed spending quality time with my mom, she gave me the hope, strength and courage to go back and face all of my challenges. The Friday before I left to go back to Vegas I got an e-mail saying I didn't need to come for an interview they had already filled the position, a little upset I decided it must not have been right. I believe that same day the principal from my school e-mailed me saying he had talked to the principal at another school about me coming over there. So I went an interviewed there and found out before I left that I would be going to there school for the 09-10 school year.

***So its been a long time since I started writing this. I am going to back track some more in another post.

I love shopping.. Here is my recent shopping trip.
Total out of pocket I paid was $19.29
Total Saved was $130.91. I am thinking this shopping thing could get a little out of control, but I love it anyways. I got so much stuff that I can use. Those stockings were .36 cents.. Can't beat that!
