Seattle's Newest Teacher

I'm happy to announce that Mandy has been offered a position at Seattle Christian School as their Art and Technology teacher position for high school and one middle school class. During the last 7 months of Mandy not having a job there have been a lot of challenges for both of us. There was a lot of questioning God and what His plans were for us.

When Mandy took the girls golf coach position at the same school I knew that she would do great with the kids. Mandy has a knack with kids and knows that sports is not about winning but having fun (Maybe I should listen to Mandy too). They did finish 7-1 so there was definitely fun and winning. I think she did a great job at this based on the comments I heard from some of her golf girls.




So when the Art teacher position opened up at the same school I knew it had to be God that set this up. Neither of us wanted to get our hopes up and so we prayed about it and tried to not talk too much about it. It seemed to good to be true. Mandy had her first interview a week ago and it sounded like it went well. Well they called a couple days ago and asked for a second interview. That's always a good sign! When she showed up they started talking as if she already had the job. Mandy was confused. They ended up offering her the job contingent upon follow up with her references. We knew that would be a slam dunk so today Mandy got the word. I'm very proud of my wife and so happy for her. This has been a long hard road for both of us and it's going to end with Mandy teaching art (which she loves) and coaching golf (which she loves) at a Christian school (which she loves). Congrats Mandy! You'll be the best teacher!
