Passed my test & Lost dog

Well I passed my test! The results are finally in. It took an excruciating 4 weeks but it is official. I scored high enough to qualify for a teaching job in all of the states that this test is recognized except Hawaii. Hawaii qualifications are a little higher but I doubt I will be teaching there. Other than the big island I am able to accept a teaching position basically anywhere in the country and I am one step closer to full certification. The only major steps I lack now to becoming a full fledged bonded and certified teacher is the job and one years experience. I have been applying for positions as I come across them on the internet with no luck. Hopefully with the passed test out of the way I will be extended a job offer. I will keep everyone posted. As much as I would hate it, if I'm not offered a job this year then I will for sure be in good position for the 2010-2011 school year. Well today the dog got away while daddy and I were in the store. Of course we didn't realize this until we got home. By the time we went back out it was dark the stores were close and there was no sign of the dog. After much searching and being questioned by a police officer we found the dog. Everyone was so happy to have the dog back. I really took the whole situation to stop and appreciate what I have. I have been pushing pretty hard to do better for my self and I'm proud of the things I have done. But today at the end of the day I'm just glad for all the things I already had.
