We met.
We shared our stories with one another.
My life changed.
I found love.
I found a new life.
Bumps and turns, we faced them together.
We planned a future together.
We began our partnership.
Today we celebrate as a couple.
Happy Anniversary, Honey.
Mwah!

That is what I gained this afternoon. I have an office staff of two full-time personnel. One is strictly school related business that related to my administration.

Overworked and underpaid, of course, but alive nonetheless! I have been spending time adjusting to my new surroundings and staff members, making the appropriate adjustments in staffing as I assess our school’s needs. I have the opportunity of choosing an entirely new Middle School teaching team which is exciting and scary at the same time. [...]
