Well yesterday was a very exciting day for us! I was finally issued my temporary permit to teach children in Washington! It actually didn't take as long as I thought it would. I turned in my application on September 7th and was given permit on the 22nd, so 2 weeks and a couple days. Now the hard part starts; I have to apply for real jobs! I started two yesterday and will continue this entire week filling out application for all of the surrounding areas for full-time teacher and substitute. The good thing is that an average sub around here get $130/day. That is a big different compared down in Riverside where I think it was $90 or $100. We are really hopeful that a job will come along soon enough and we will be up on our feet running.
The next big task after finding a job is to find a daycare/preschool that is nice, cheap, and takes un-potty-trained kids. Landin is looking forward to playing with kids again. I think he is really missing that regular interaction with kids his age. There are a few kids around our neighborhood that he has to say HI to whenever they are outside. We did meet a little family that has a son about the same age as Landin. He talks about the kid almost everyday.
In other exciting news we got a new vacuum (I know the thrill of the year!!) and a new toy chest that matches our living room decor perfectly. My living room no longer looks like a daycare. Trev is going to be doing a lot of traveling in the next few months. His destinations are L.A., Alaska, and Canada! Very exciting for him to get to go to all these places for his job. I'm very proud of him!
