I think the title says it all! Well little did I know that when I wrote my last entry that my life would be taking a big turn. During the last week of school I received a phone call from a very good friend informing that the Langham Creek High School Bailadoras director job had just opened. I had always said that I would never leave Deer Park unless I was going to venture off into an AP position...which I still am not seeing myself doing! However, there has been only two other teams that I have always admired and had mentioned to some friends that if they ever became open and if the timing was right I would consider. All I can say is that within 4 days of the phone call I had accepted the position as the Bailadora director. Since the moment it has been one big whirlwind. Taking on a new team, and one I must say is very very active in all regards is no small undertaking. My summer this year....or shall I say what summer, went straight as if it never came. But I must say I have jumped on my "Happy Train" and I am not getting off. I have loved every minute of my new job, from taking the new dance officers to camp, working with the socials at school getting the room prepared and working with two incredible new ladies. (and I must add a great group of parents!!) It all has made me feel like a teacher for the first time again. Only very few people who truly knows me understands why I would leave a position with a great team, wonderful parents and my two best friends to take on a totally new adventure and doubling my miles to travel everyday on top of it. I am so happy for what I had and where I came from, but the thoughts of tomorrow and down the road excites me beyond words. I know it will be a long year, but I anticipate it to be one of smiles, laughs, and happy memories!
On top of the new job, our family has had loads of excitement....my 2nd oldest son finally married the love of his life. They had a beautiful wedding in Sugarland this past weekend. And then on July 4th Kiana and Ryan became engaged and we hit the road fast with plans for a summer wedding next year. Kila and John also had exciting news for us...but for the time being "mumms" the word! ;) And to top it off the wedding this weekend brought our son home from England for a few days! And then we still have Kai at home.....usually upstairs playing Xbox, WOW or out on the field shooting up paintballs.
All I can say is WOW...so much excitement in a very short time. And yes, it is hard to believe another year of my life has just whisked by...Happy Birthday to "me" ~ (and my dear dear friend Sam Hooi in Wales...my twinkie!!)
