yep

Yes Chris, I said I'd let you know. So . . . in a few months I will be moving to Abbotsford, British Columbia. Once there and settled in, I will begin my first year of teaching. I will be teaching a course called humanities--a blend of Social Studies, English, and Bible--to two sections of grade nine students, and then two sections of regular English to grade 10 or 11 students. It's a one year contract, but I'm optimistic that it could turn into more than that--otherwise I'll be on the job hunt again next spring. I'm pretty pumped. I actually went to this high school for three years before my family moved to Iowa, so it's like going home. I know a lot of the teachers--many of them taught me, which will be strange at first, but has the potential for a lot of joy. I've known the principal for many years, and he sounded genuinely joyful that I will be coming back. This new development feels right--like a circling of my life. God is good.

Scott hopes to move to Abbotsford as well in the fall. He's applied for a few jobs already. So prayers on that front as well.

Woot, woot Margaret! Congratulations :) When are you heading out there? Perhaps one day I'll make it out to B.C. and visit, since Abbotsford is closer than both Iowa and Winnipeg. Yeah for the same country. So when are the rest of you moving to Canada??? ;)

Not sure yet, Dena--probably beginning to middle to August. I (or Scott and I) will probably be driving through Canada. Mumkin we'll pass your way?
