New Job!!!!

YES...a new job...and it is about time! Jared has been commuting for 2 years from our house to Avondale...about 65 miles each way (it takes about an hour and half each way to drive) Not ideal!




It all started about a month ago... Jared and I both knew it was time for a change. Actually, we have both felt that we needed a change for two years now, but we both felt distinct impressions that now was the time for him to make a career change. We fasted and prayed and went to the temple asking for guidance for the Lord. A few days later we found a job post for a high school art teacher about 3 miles from our home. Jared applied and got an interview. The interview went very well and he was offered the job the next day, April 6th. It happened so fast. The position is taking Jared's career in an completely different direction. He never saw himself teaching outside of the elementary school setting and now he will be teaching high school. Not what we anticipated but we feel this is where Jared needs to be. He is actually getting pretty excited to teach high school art. Jared's salary will be higher at his new school, not to mention the gas money we will save from the commute, and it is 5 minuets away! IT'S A MIRACLE! We feel so very blessed to have this new job and we feel that we were guided by the Lord to find it. I am on cloud nine!!! My husband will be around at least 3 more hours every day!!!!!!!! My heart is full!
