An opportunity??

Yesterday I received a call from a school district in Iowa. Total surprise!! I spoke with the principal for about 30 minutes and he set up a telephone interview with me for tomorrow to include the department chair in the conversation.

There are several pros in this opportunity. 1) the state recognizes us! 2) it will include a pay raise! 3) we will get to a place where there is more than two seasons a year.

There a pro/con: family will be closer.

There are a couple of cons: if this happens it will happen FAST. We won't have much time to think things through and will have to thoroughly think things through very quickly. What about our house? Do we have the cash to make the move?

How do we get the cash to make the move? What expenses can we cut immediately to help us put the money aside we will need. What about Liz? She isn't ready to be fully on her own. The issues with the insurance company from the accident hasn't been cleared up yet, heck they haven't even started yet. She has at least one more visit left with the orthopedic before she finds out if she might have to have surgery.

The students I have here I have grown close to. It will be tough to leave them.

I am excited and nervous. We have a chance to begin a new chapter of our life, if this happens.

I have to get through this interview tomorrow. I must prepare for tomorrow's interview. get some things out to refer to during the meeting. I need to focus, calm down, and be ready.
