our first week of school

Hi all! The kids first week was a success. Nathan said, "School gets better everyday because, 1, I am making new friends and 2, I am learning new stuff." As for Hannah, she actually cried tonight because she missed her new friends from kindergarten and she wished she had school tomorrow. Imagine that.
As for me, I spent the entire day Thursday in my classroom, getting it prepared for my 4 year olds that will come Tuesday. I hope I am ready to do this. With all that, Chris is the one who has had the busiest week. He has had 3 interviews this week, 2 on the same day. He interviewed with Glenwood springs, colorado; Norman, Oklahoma; and Danville, Illinois. Glenwood couldn't offer him a relocation package and wondered if that was important. He said that he couldnt make the move without it, so they are a no. The other two were super great interviews and he is anxiously looking to hearing back from them. Danville was a really fun interview. He said they mostly talked about teamwork and how being a hands-on manager was a necessity in their store. They only have 2 zone managers in their store, it is smaller and more laid back. Norman is bigger and more crazy, but since Chris is familiar with the area, they liked his heart and knowledge for the people there. The guy from Norman said he wished he didn't have to interview any other candidates after Chris' interview. WE are just praying that since both interviews went so well, that God will continue to do what he has so far; definate yes or no. So if you could be praying. Chris is assuming he will hear from them after the holiday, as Labor day is a huge one for them at the company.
Other than that, those were the big things this week. Tomorrow is church and I start teaching int he 2's and 3's. I am only doing it for September because Alisha needed someone to cover while she looked for replacements. I told her with all the unsurity of Chris and taking on a job outside of the home, I needed a break for my family's sake. It will be just me tomorrow, since my regular helper, Rebecca, has taken on 3 jobs for the sake of her family. I will miss her help, but totally understand her situation!! I just wish in a lot of ways that there was more support from the children's department or something. Seems like they are always begging for help and with no one stepping up to help, the workers who are involved get burnt out really fast. I know it is that way with just about every other church in america.
Anyways, Monday the kids and I are just hanging out. Tuesday is my first day with the preschoolers and Wednesday is small group kickoff. I am a little nervous about it since we haven't gotten a phone call about whether or not we got into a group. I would like to go to the kick off, but am a little anxious because it will be the kids and I going alone since Chris has to close all week.
Well, need to fold laundry, wash some dishes and finish some of my lesson for tomorrow. Hope all is well in your world and will post later this next week. Till then, all Gods blessings to you all!
