Moving On?
So what happens when you ditch independence and slow Southeastern Ohio life to move in with your in-laws and it turns out to be a complete bust?
After a year (next week) of living with my gracious in-laws, pursuing the "land of opportunities" in PA, and literally come up with nothing (pending final budget cuts- thank you JACKASS Tom Corbett), JP and I are starting to look outside the bubble of Pittsburgh. What was supposed to be an easy transition where after one year of subbing would land a full-time job and shortly thereafter something for me, nothing.
Nothing. Zip. Nadda. Zilch.
This is something I've always struggled with. I plan. I research. I plan some more. Make calculated decisions to set myself up for the greatest successess. And after taking a leap of faith last year, I, in no way, ever thought I'd be posting about failure. I don't fail. It doesn't happen. I plan and research for a reason. I hate feeling unsettled. Lost. Undervalued.
JP keepts saying, "We just have an 'I,' we're incomplete. We don't have an 'F,' we just haven't finished yet." God love him for his positive ways.
Steve and I basically threw applications in all over the country and moved where we both got jobs (he wasn't a fan of Canonsburg/his job at the time). I hated my 1st job in Kansas and Steve lucked out, but we are so glad we took a chance. It's hard not having family around but roadtrips are fun. :)
You're in no way a failure, things are rough all over, especially in all levels of the education system. You will both find something that is perfect in time!
