Hello Everyone!
I've started this blog to document all the adventures that I will be having in Germany and abroad. My plan is to keep all my friends and family up to date with what I'm doing and places I'm seeing. I'm a major picture taker, so be prepared to see lots of pictures.
Let's start at the beginning. As a teacher in Arizona, the school year had already been in session for two weeks when I received an interview call from the principal of Spangdahlem MS in Germany for the Educational Technologist position. Understandably I was very surprised. Usually DoDDS does their hiring at the beginning of the calendar year, so since I hadn't received a call for an interview by the end of last school year I thought my chances for getting hired was passed. I've been in their system for two years and it usually takes that long to get hired. But, lo and behold, here I was getting a call.
Naturally, once I had been offered the position, I couldn't turn it down. The last week has been very hectic trying to get all the paperwork completed and getting ready to go. (Even my blood pressure has skyrocketed from all the stress :( ) At this point, it looks like I will be leaving around the 13th of September. Everything will depend upon when my passport arrives.
Unfortunately neither of my children will be joining me, but that's okay, they both had planned to move away anyway. Josh is joining his dad in California and Ashli is moving in with friends while she goes to college. But I look forward to seeing them in the summer when they'll come and visit me.
Well, that's all for now. I'll keep you updated as things progress.
Auf Wiedersehen!
