Employed!!

I'm very excited to share that I start a new job tomorrow Jan 26th!!
It was an opportunity that literally fell in my lap! I was not searching for employment, but it seemed like a great fit and a great way to get my foot into the job market door after 9 years of not working since I was pregnant with Abby! 

Background-- So while we were at the theater in Tokyo in December Mike happened to sit next to an American who lives on a neighboring base near us. She asked if he thought I would be interested in the position or at least willing to spread the job opening announcement. Not thinking much of it I said sure, that is likely just share it with my group of friends here. But after thinking about it, more and more it made sense that I take the leap and try something new. 

It's a very minimal commitment, only 3 days per month! I will be teaching a course curriculum that is mandatory for retiring service members to take before leaving service. Teaching resume building, job search skills, etc, etc. 

It's a fixed curriculum so I'm not reinventing the wheel!!

Anyhow I just wanted to share the new venture with everyone!! 
This week I have three days of training to shadow another instructor, and then next week I teach my first class.
