Just a Couple Jobs

I wanted to write this post a week ago but life has just been so busy lately. Well Brydon and I were recently able to secure employment that will allow us to stay in Philadelphia while we wait for Brydon to begin work with the Air Force. Brydon works nights (about 11pm-2am) for UPS loading trucks. The pay is ok and there are no benefits but it is very close to our home and the hours work well with my job and his church calling. Last night he actually got asked to be on the UPS safety committee. His supervisor learned about his thesis and so once a week he will attend a committee meeting and do safety inspections. So far the job has been pretty easy. I was recently hired as a Third Grade Math Specialist for the Agora Cyber Charter School. It is a really unique experience to work for a cyber school. I will work from home on a computer, teaching lessons and attending meetings. It is a certified teaching position and the pay and benefits are good. I love the fact that I get to stay home and have lunch with Brydon and Caleb. There is no nasty commute or long hours setting up and cleaning a classroom. The only drawback so far is that I am not used to sitting in front of a computer all day. But it is really a great opportunity for our family right now. I feel so blessed to be able to find employment during this time. Most school districts have few openings and some have been on hiring freezes. It is truly a miracle I was able to secure a position in just a couple months.
