oh...you haven't met?

Well, let me formally introduce you to Mr. Smith.
The newest addition ((ha! math humor)) to the Royal City High School faculty. And in my humblest of opinions, the hottest.
He is indeed an official teacher of mathematics. See:
We had been looking for jobs since the middle of spring, and none of them sprung out at us. Lots of prayers and lots of fasting and applying. Then for some reason, I thought the place to be was Moses Lake. Aaron didn't. ((maybe the baby had thrown off my feelings of inspiration;)) We had known about the Royal City job for awhile, but it didn't close until late August/September, I was not a fan of waiting that long. Then the two in Moses Lake were filled. Hopes dashed. More waiting. Royal called for an interview one morning; and a few hours after that, Moses Lake called with another opening. The interviews would be on the same day! But the next day, Moses Lake called and informed us the position was filled. $@#*%! So against my mothers' advice, all of our eggs were in one basket. Didn't think it was going to be that way, but it was. The day after the interview, Aaron was called and was told he got the job. The waiting game was finally over. Then the stress set in--he would start in one week and he would be teaching 5 WASL Prep classes and one class for the juniors and seniors who had flunked the WASL. He was given a small binder with not much to go off of in way of lesson plans, so he uses what extra time he has to come up with those and stay ahead of the students. He commutes about 50 minutes each way, everyday. Some days he's lucky enough to ride in the van pool. He's having fun with it and we are so grateful that he has a job and we were able to stay here in Eburg for awhile longer. Go Knights!!
