Yet another change in the Schnyders home.

While we were on vacation I received some exciting news. Let me back up a bit first. This past year I have spent teaching at Heritage Christian School and loved it. It is a great school and they treated me well and I loved my co-workers. I had signed my contract for next year to teach various Middle School classes as well as yearbook and be senior class advisor. The ONLY problem was I was not teaching my desired area(Middle School Math). About a month ago I was searching the Ohio Department of Education website for job listing, basically out of curiosity. I saw a 5th grade math position listed for a school about 15 miles from Canton. I decided it can't hurt to send in a resume, so I did. The next week after school was out I drove to the school with a resume in hand because often with so many applicants your resume can be lost in the stacks. When arriving at the school I got an immediate interview with the principal which was surprising, but wonderful. He liked what he heard and the superintendent called the next day to set up another interview! At this point things were moving much quicker than I had anticipated and I still was not at all planning on getting the job, but thought it doesn't hurt to go through the process. Well needless to say, through a few more phone calls and interviews the Superintendent called last Monday to offer me the position. I was thrilled! Although I will miss many things about Heritage, the opportunity to teach my dream position with a much increased salary and other benefits is too good to pass up. It's amazing how God worked this all out and I am very thankful for this oppurtunity.
We already had a day-care provider lined up for next year so Zoe will be going there 5-6 hours a day. The new job at Manchester Middle School is about a 20 minute drive for me, so that will be a change, but a welcomed change. I am excited to get back to Ohio and jump right in!
