A New Adventure

Its October all ready and fall is in full swing. I am enjoying football, and the weather. Our Homecoming parade and game are tomorrow night and I am excited to go. Catoosa has been undefeated so far this year and I am hoping it stays that way. The football team this year is fired up and are doing an AWESOME job! I am proud to be a CATOOSA INDIAN!

As most of you know, I said good bye to Curves for Women. My Wonderful Boss Lorna had to close the business down. We spent 7 great years together. She was more than my boss, she was and is a dear friend to me. I love her. She called me in July and told me that they were closing or selling the business. My heart sank. I was so sad to hear those words.I was going to miss all the ladies I have been with all through the years and I was worried where i would find a job. I was beginning to stress over the thought of going back out in the work force and trying to find a job that would work for me. August I got a call from a teacher friend to tell me that there would be an opening at HPLC. First let me back up.I have been a Sub in the District for 7 years and I have wanted a job at Catoosa Schools ever since my kids were small. I bet if you looked in their files, you might find a stack of applications every year that I put them in. Well I drove myself down to the school administration building and put in another application. Over the years I have grown to know about 80% of the staff at Catoosa schools. I turned my application and I got a job interview. It was a job being the computer lab teacher. I thought this job was right up my alley, and It had all the hours and benefits that I wanted too. A few days later...the Principal called and told me I had the job. I cried and cried tears of joy! I was so excited! I think I may have squealed in the phone to her too, lol. It is an adventure everyday working with 1st grade and Kindergarten kids. I absolutely LOVE my job and I hope I am here until I retire.I love the kids and their smiles brighten my day.

God knew what I needed. He closed the door to one job as another one opened for me. He gave me the hours i wanted and more. God went before me and opened the doors. Its all in his timing. For years I was needed at Curves to make a difference in Women's lives and now its the children who need me. I am the PUTER TEACHER and I LOVE MY NEW ADVENTURE!!!

iphones

Well I got an iphone for myself for Valentines day. I found a good deal at Wal-mart and figured I would take advantage of it. I have wanted one for so long but never could afford it till now. I am still learning how to use it and how to do all the apps. My daughter had added a few apps that are games which I have become addicted to. I am loving me some Sunday Lawn. I found some great diet apps which were free that I am using. I found a good one called Spark People and another called My fitness pal. They are great tools for tracking your calories for the day and writting down all the food you have eaten.I love those! Another app I like is the Bible. I used it alot on Sunday and I love the fact I can look up verses in different translations too.I had forgot to bring my bible so my iphone was a fun substitute! I had a really nice digital camera until my son got salad dressing all over it and ruinned it, but the iphone does take really good pictures, so I think I will be using the camera part alot on it. I also am enjoying the ipod features. I like to carry some of my favorite songs around with me, and if you know me its gonna be some Casting Crowns and Mercy Me songs! I did buy Kutless' new album from itunes because I love their new stuff! I love the Google app where you can talk and tell it what you are looking for! Really fun!
I could talk all day on how much I love my iphone. I am just really enjoying it and I didnt realize just how handy it was until I got one.I would recomend one to everyone!
Until next time..
Have a totally blessed day!
