Well, I had a job interview today with the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center (they provide support and additional services to area schools). It was an interesting interview--I really enjoyed meeting the two people I interviewed with! They spent about 15 minutes with me and then sent me back upstairs to complete a skills test. The skills test was not what I expected AT ALL! :) I had 45 minutes to complete the test. I made it through the test with JUST enough time to finish. There were some things that they asked me to do that I have never done before in my life! But, after I got home, I did some research and I'm pretty sure I did it correctly. :) Soooo, hopefully, I'll get good news next week! Keep your fingers crossed!
Aside from that, things have been great here! Thanksgiving was good, though different without Grandpa. Jason and I spent a couple of days with my family. We even visited the circus again! :) (Hopefully I can get some pictures from my sister to post!)
Jason has a speech tournament in Wauseon this weekend. We're going to spend time tonight and most of the day tomorrow preparing for the big tournament. Due to the structure of the program, we're going to have the tournament divided between two schools. Right now, the plan is to have me at the other schools. Because of that, we'll have walkie talkies to communicate back and forth. If you have any good (or even funny!) code names to use, let me know! :) I'm trying to come up with a list to keep Jason's eyes rolling all day! :)
Well, that's all for now! I need to go run some errands!
Tootles!

Something I've discovered about me...
I don't hate blogging, really. I've just discovered that I'm not very good about doing it regularly! OR, I'll sit down to write a mondo catch up post only to get distracted and go do something else for awhile. Of course, I never make it back when I have time to write. So, for those of you who check regularly just to SEE if I have made a post in awhile, I apologize! I'll try to do better!
Life in Ohio is good, so far! Jason loves his job and is keeping REALLY busy with it! He's right in the heart of drama and speech season, so he is putting in lots of hours. He was thrilled the other day when a few students came up and actually thanked him for what he's been teaching them (Several took their ACT over the weekend and were happy to discover that the English section was very similar to what they have been learning in class.). I think the gratitude from students blew him away. It's not often that students actually thank teachers for what they are learning. It was good to see him feel good about what he is trying to do with his students!
I'm still looking for a job. I've had some interviews and done TONS of applying at different places, but still no job yet. I'm getting antsy. (I've been antsy!) :) To make a little money, I've been doing odd jobs here and there. I've been driving an attorney at Jeff's (father-in-law) practice all over the state to different court hearings. This has been incredibly fascinating! If you've heard about the Tom Noe hearings going on in Toledo, I was actually in the same court house during the trial. I got to see him! (Not that that is SUPER thrilling, but I gotta take what I can get.) I've always been fascinated by our judicial system, so it's neat to sit in on these different hearings and appearances and just observe what happens. (It's actually reminiscent of the time that Kristi and I had to go to Elwood City Court for her traffic ticket! GREAT stuff! :))
Actually, now that I look at the time, I have to get going! I have to be at the office around noon to drive again...and I'd like to grab some lunch first!
Till next time...:)
