Falling Into Place
Sometimes there’s all this mystery on blogs about special, in-the-works projects: “I have something really awesome going on, but I can’t tell you about it. Sorry!” That’s not irritating at all, is it? I didn’t think so.
Fortunately, I won’t keep you in suspense. I got a job.
Sorry, that wasn’t quite right. I got a job!!!
I won’t go into great detail, obviously, but it’s in a suburb of Boston, overseeing the libraries at two elementary schools in a lovely little district. The schools are gorgeous, and I’ve been very impressed with the principal, the current librarian, and the teachers I’ve been introduced to.
I am absolutely thrilled, and I can hardly wait until August to start.
I am so deeply relieved about how this has fallen into place. It means we know what general area of Boston to live in (if I hadn’t had a job, we could have moved to a suburb on one side of Boston and I could have gotten a job 15 miles outside of Boston in the other direction, and then I’d be dealing with a really long commute). It means I can spend my summer working on lesson plans and programming for the year, instead of applying for jobs, interviewing, and writing cover letter after cover letter.
But mostly, I can’t stop thinking that, come Fall, Bart and I will be living in our dream city, both with our dream jobs. Life is sometimes just too good to take in.
HOORAY!!! that is so exciting, congratulations to you! I'd love to hear more about it! when will you be moving?
CONGRATS! Isn't it wonderful when things workout? You both graduated, plan to move to a fun city, and have new jobs!
So awesome! I can't wait to hear all about it! And most of all, I can't wait to hang out!
Oooh, maybe we can plan curriculum together. And did you know there's an Eric Carle Museum in MA?!
That's great! Congrats!
Personally, I think Boston is pretty cool city.
Good luck!
Wow! Hooray! Congrats! That sounds like the perfect job for you.
Well, YAY! and congratulations!
I have some info and a few connections for you~ you couldn't have picked a better city.
(really)
I am SO SO excited for you. You deserve to have all things fall into place for you. I can't wait to come visit you in Boston and thrill in your new, happy life.
So excited for you! That's fantastic (although I'm horribly jealous that you're back East and I'm still stuck in Utah until J's done with school…)
I am so happy for you Janssen.
Hey — one of my blogging friends sent me your blog and suggested I get in touch with you about moving to Boston. I read about your library job and it sounded familiar (I'm our ward housing specialist and my bishop emailed me about you moving here). It's a small world after all!!
Congrats! Congrats!! And what a great place to live!
Congrats, Janssen! It's so nice to have things settled. Good luck with your move!
Hooray! That is such a huge relief, planning-wise. You are ready to go, lady!
Yay! Congrats! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to read about all the details as you figure them out!
YAY! That is awesome!
That's great, Janssen. I'm really happy for you!! And as a former Boston suburbanite, I think that you're going to do well there.
I'm so glad to hear it! Congratulations!
That is so wonderful! Congratulations!!
I've already told you this–but YAAAAAAAAAY!

Also–I have major librarian-envy, you and NPW are going to have a blast together!
