Just thought I would let everyone know that we are back from upstate NY and JD's interview! All went relatively well except for the tire blowout on the interstate while going to his interview. Luckily we allowed plenty of time and got there with time to spare.

JD felt really good about the interview. It is for a pool of teachers that they like to interview before hand, then when something opens up they already have people to choose from. So we really don't know when we would ever hear from them, but it does feel good to have the first interview done. JD said that the committee members were all very encouraging to him and were trying to give him ideas of how to get some experience and how to make a career. One man told him that he did adjunct jobs at different schools for 5 years before getting on full time. It is nice to hear things like that and that we need not feel too discouraged.

We just are going to keep plugging along and see where things take us. I just hope that Heavenly Father needs us somewhere special and soon. I worry about where we will put Miah in school next year.

Thanks to the Colliers for having us in their home! We appreciate it! It was also nice to see Palmyra again. I love it there. It is such a neat, sacred place. It was also great to get out of the city!
