Teaching

I drove to Brooklyn. It was very freeing and felt good to be out of the house without my husband. I know that sounds mean but I really don't get the chance to get out without him often. It makes me appreciate him even more when I see him. I took his sister instead. She is like having a husband with you, in the ways that she helps but you don't have to worry about being a wife to her. Which is all coming out kind of strange so I'll move on.
I went to see Mary at work
**Side Note**
I have decided to call my mother-in-law Mary. It is nice sounding and since I don't call MY mother Mom it just doesn't seem right to call my mother-in-law mom. When you get married decided before you are married 7 months what you will call your mother-in-law.

I went to get things in order to get a job. Yes there is still more. So far I have
1. Completed a State Certified Teacher Training Degree (My BS)
2. I have moved to the state in which I am certified
3. I have completed the State's application including lots of money, and fingerprinting
4. I have completed the N Y City application including lots of money and essays
I now have to
5. Be fingerprinted again for the NY City applications (including the $115 charge to do it again)
6. Make a trip to 65 Court St. to get said fingerprints and submit my application, a different one than the one I completed above
7. Wait to hear weather I am a criminal (I am not)(can't they take my word for it)(that would make this much faster)
8. Get a 'smart card' (which sounds eco-friendly)
9. Get a teaching job.

This is much more involved than I ever imagined. Please pray this all gets done so that I can get moving, when I can find time, toward employment. I'm beginning to get overwhelmed by the process and how unprepared I feel for this job search. Also pray for relationships with my 'in-laws' this process is stressing them as well.
