So here's the story...

Hi friends!
So life has gotten a little crazy this summer, and I feel like I have been horrible at keeping in contact with all of you! Hence why I created this blog...to keep you all informed! This summer, I have been living down in Waconia with Becky Parkinson and her family! It has been so much fun living with them, and I am sad to leave them! I have been nannying for a family in EP with three little boys! They are little balls of energy, and I love every minute with them (most of the time)! Most of my summer has also been spent in Wadena helping my family clean up our house after it was hit by a tornado on June 17. It has been a very draining summer, but God has taught us all immense amounts through it!

And now to tell you all what this whole blog is all about! So as most of you know, I graduated from Crown in May with a BS in Elementary Education! I have been searching all spring and summer for a teaching job, and the results were rather fruitless for awhile. I then decided to start looking outside the state of Minnesota, and this is where the adventure begins! I ended up being offered and accepting a 1st grade teaching position at Legacy Traditional School in Casa Grande, AZ! It's a charter school, and has a lot to offer! I am so super excited about this opportunity, and I know God has big plans for me! The other exciting part is that Becky Parkinson also got a position at the same school and she is moving down with me! We are going to rent an apartment, and join in on this new adventure together! I am a little nervous...and there is still a lot of stuff to figure out, but I know God has big plans for me, and I can't wait to see how He uses this adventure to shape and mold me for his purpose!!!

I will try to keep you all updated about life and let you know how everything is going! I would appreciate your prayers, and I hope to stay in contact with everyone! If you ever want to come visit just let me know! We will have an extra bedroom in our apartment, and come January, unlike MN, we will have no snow!! :)
