CORTNEY UPDATE

Life takes you places you never expected to go.

This last month I have had the opportunity to become

something I am sure I said I would NEVER be.

Last September I got my substitute teacher certificate.

I wanted a job that paid me for my time and one

that would allow me to still be home with my kids

when needed.  Their school schedule is crazy sometimes

and I don't want to constantly be calling in just to have

someone to watch them.  I know, I have said I don't

want to be a teacher, I don't even think I am good at it.

However, after only a month, starting in January I was

asked to be a full time substitute.  One of the kindergarten

teachers had to go on maternity leave sooner than expected

due to pregnancy complications with twins.  They asked

me to be the new teacher until the end of the year.

That means that for more than three months...I am a

kindergarten teacher.  I can't believe it either.  It

has been fun, exhausting and quite an adventure thus far.

I am just happy to have the opportunity to work, make

some money and still be home with my own children.

It is times like these that I think to myself, "I really don't

have a clue what Heavenly Father has in store for me."

He is always pulling stunts like this on me, twins, teaching...etc.

I think I know myself and then I realize I have a lot to learn!

Like I said, "You never know where life will take you."
