Over this summer, Alan was offered the Girls Athletic Director and Head Girls Basketball Coach Position at a little 1A school in South Texas. They just happened to have a Elementary Music position opened and wanted me to start a choir at the Middle School with adding High School Choir next year. This ISD really pushed to get us here. They wanted a couple with young kids to come in as a team that would be around for a while. While I did not want to move and pull our kids out of a Christian School, and leave our church, I knew Alan could not pass up this opportunity. I will get to see my kids more often and have the honor to teach music to them and hopefully choir.
We have lived here almost two weeks and it is taking a lot of adjustment for me. Our next door neighbors actually brought us brownies which I thought only happened in movies/TV. Everyone in our Neighborhood KNOWS who we are and WHY we are here. Our house sits against a cow pasture and so we see cows everyday behind our backyard. I can't just go to a shopping center anytime I want. I have to drive 30-60 minutes to go any place fun to shop. Restaurants are limited. It only takes us 10 minutes to get to school versus the 25 minutes I have been traveling back and forth everyday for five years. Most everyone is friendly and local businesses even knows Alan and call him "Coach Weaver." We live in one town while our school is four miles away in the next town, but many know who we are in BOTH towns.
Our house is spacious and the kids want to live in it forever despite the blue master bath, pink guest bath and a strange green/blue kitchen, I like the features of the house.
We started in-service this week and school officially starts the 26th. Here is to a new Adventure.
