Update

Today marks the first day of 38 weeks of pregnancy! The doctor told us on Tuesday that she doesn't forsee baby coming until after 39 weeks. I hope she's right because Shane will be out of town this weekend and our doctor will be gone until the 16th of the month! I guess there really isn't a lot we can do about it...when she's ready, she's ready!
I also have some news on the job situation. A few weeks ago, Shane was out at a private school in Whitefish (Whitefish Christian Academy-WCA) for work. I had interviewed at this school last year so Shane and I both know the superintendent and some of the staff. The superintendent, Todd, asked how I was doing and if I was enjoying Stillwater...so of course Shane told him the truth about my job situation being up in the air and about our frustrations with the school. About a week later, I got an unexpected email from Todd asking if we could meet and discuss the possibility of a job opening at WCA.
Anyways, I met him for coffee a couple days later and discussed a 2nd grade position that they might have open...of course I was thrilled! After that, everything happened pretty quickly. He found out that the current 2nd grade teacher was not coming back next year, posted the position on the internet for a few days and asked me to fill out another application. On Tuesday of this week, I went to the school to turn in my application and he called me into his office. Right then and there he offered me a contract to teach 2nd grade next year! I was kind of shocked...not really expecting it to move so quickly. Of course I told him I would take the job and would be in on Thursday to sign the "official" contract...there was no way I was going to let this opportunity go, especially since things with Stillwater were still so up in air.
Obviously I was completely filled with relief! Then the next day, Wednesday, my boss asked if I could meet with him to discuss my maternity leave. After discussing that situation, he unexpectedly offered me an open 3rd grade position at Stillwater...when it rains it pours, right? I told him I needed to think about it (of course I had already signed the contract at the other school, but he didn't know that. I decided to make him wait a little...)
Shane and I discussed the situation and went over the pros and cons of each school. We are both really upset with how Stillwater handled the situation with my job and the lack of information and reassurance regarding other positions. In the end, I made the final decision to leave Stillwater and go to WCA. Although I will be sad to leave all the wonderful friends I have made, I feel really good about my decision and I can't wait to teach 2nd grade!!!
Shane and I discovered, once again, if we put our trust and faith completely in Him, amazing things will happen!
