New Employment Opportunity

Well its official. I am employed, John's heart can start beating again. I have sent out tons of resumes. Several interviews were scheduled within a two week period. I have known for about 2 weeks that I had gotten this position but didn't want to jump the gun before the official announcement. My new job title is adaptive computer specialist or assistive technology specialist(depending on who your talking to). I will be teaching teachers how to utilize technology programs and devices for students with disabilities to assist in educating the student. I will also be assessing students needs for assistive technology. This is something I have come to love over the years while working with my students. I am always excited to see them use the different technologies out there creating something independently. I hope I will be able to share this passion with other teachers, students and school staff while in this new position.

John's home away from home

So John is/was on a business trip. I tagged along mainly to spend time with Ericka who was in the same area for a conference. What are the odds? John is working a horrible shift so I would have barely seen him had I stayed. Ericka and I stumbled upon a press conference from a distance (I forgot the camera at the hotel). Apparently the president of France was in the area who knew? They (the men with guns) wouldn't let the spectators get any closer. Anyway the hotel room John is/was staying in reminded us of Faulty Towers without the doorman. I attached a picture of a lighthouse Kaya and I saw on the way to pick Ericka up at the bus station.
The lighthouse is located in Portsmouth New Hampshire. I hope you enjoy.
