Two Schools and a Myspace page walked into a Bar...

Well I know that it has been awhile since I blogged but for awhile now I haven't felt like there was much to blog about. So you all have my deepest apologies for not filling you in sooner on the life and times of Micah and Molly! Well now that I have the apology out of the way I can continue with the update. Well for all of you who don't know Molly and I did end up buying a house (see last blog entry for more information) we ended up moving in at the beginning of April and so we now have a few mortgage payments under our belts only 356ish more to go. We really love the house and are excited to be here, we still feel sometimes that its all just a dream and we are going to have to move back into our old house that was about 1/3 the size of our new house. Not only are thankful that we don't have to move I am sure that Tre' and Kelly and thankful too cause I don't think they would want us to move in with them since they are the current residence of our old house.

Since we moved to Vancouver my commute to work had become very stressful since I took me anywhere from 45 minute to 1.5 hours to get to work depending on traffic. So after much thought I decided to look for a job closer to home. I applied for a few jobs at one of the school districts here in Vancouver at first I didn't hear anything but finally one of the High Schools I applied at called me in for an interview. They seemed to like me cause I had just gotten home from the interview when the Vice Principal called me to see if I could come in for a second interview the next day. Well the short of it is I was offered the job doing basically the same kinda thing I was doing this last year working with High Schoolers that have behavior problems only this year I will be working at a regular High School rather then a treatment center. Quiting my old job was one of the hardest things I have had to do, I really did enjoy my old job but in the end Molly and I both felt that the job in Vancouver would be better opportunity with longterm goal in mind.

Now as if working at a school wasn't enough I have decided to go back to school for my MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching). I am going to do a part-time program at Concordia University in Portland, the whole program will take 22 months to complete but once I am done I will have my teaching license and will be able to be a teacher rather then just an assistant. I just had the orientation at the school last night and I came away pretty excited about the whole thing, I met some of the people who will be in my cohort (basically the people who I will have all my classes with for the next 22 months). All in all I am looking forward to the program but part of me is already ready to be done. Is that a bad sign?

Now on a final note, I wanted everyone who might care to know that after much avoidance and bashing of Myspace I have finally given into the social pressure of our time and created a myspace page you can now find me at http://www.myspace.com/micahtown While I don't think I will be doing much blogging there it is a good spot to send me messages and such. I joined myspace simply so that I would be able to see friends pages and maybe get re-connected with old friends. Now for all the big updates and deep thoughts of mine keep coming back here to my blog!

Well thats all for now...
