[June] Greatest Month of All Time
So summer has officially begun today. And may I say that this month has been the best month I've had in a long, long time.
On June 9th, Matt and I went to a movie night at our church in Jackson, Love and Truth. I walked into the dark auditorium with a few of our friends. As we sat down in our seats, he told me he needed to use the restroom and be right back. As soon as he left, the movie started on the big screen. I was expecting us to watch a Christian movie, however, the movie that showed was completely different.
Over the course of 8 months, Matt had managed to put together a short film about him going through a long journey to propose to me. This film was SO funny, using about 15 of our friends and family in the scenes. Each scene was a spin-off of a famous movie that he and I love watching (we're big movie buffs). The spin-offs were from Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Matrix, Kill Bill, The Incredible Hulk, Kick Ass, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Terminator. He used a lot of different video game elements in there and had so much humor. It was the best thing I have ever seen! At the end of the movie, he ran back into the theater, got down on one knee and proposed. I said yes and I am in love with my ring.

So that is the FIRST greatest thing that has happened to us.
On June 18th (this past Monday) I was called in for an interview for the art position at Mount Juliet Middle School. This was by far the best principal and the best school I have interviewed for (and granted, this was the 10th school I've visited). He was so charismatic about his job, his faculty, his kids and his community. I left the interview without any kind of thoughts about it. I had been rejected so much by this time by so many schools I really didn't know what to expect. About an hour after I left, he called me on my cell and offered me the job.
So within one month, I've gotten engaged AND got a new job. The Lord is GOOD. I was so overwhelmed that entire day. I've waited for this job for 2 years and now I understand why I've had to wait as long as I've had. Because I've literally gotten the BEST one out of all of them.
I could write on this for days and days. But to make it all short, we're currently looking for apartments hardcore in East Nashville. We need to move by July 19th because my first day of inservice is July 26th. I absolutely can not wait to start this new chapter of my life with Matt. I've started packing up my apartment here in Parsons. Will be taking pictures and uploading posts about the whole process.
In the meantime, I will post Matt's movie with the bloopers above. FYI, the bloopers are hilarious :)
