I don't know if you heard, but...

Hooray! Jessica got a job! This news comes as a great relief to us in so many ways. We now know we will be living in Springfield for at least a year; we will have benefits thanks to the Springfield school system; and we actually feel like real adults now (at least Jess does). Jess is going to be an English teacher at Parkview High School, the home of the Vikings. She will be teaching English 2 and 4 with sophomores and seniors. Along with her teaching duties, they also informed her she will be in charge of concessions....so you may be seeing both of us handing out hot dogs and hot chocolate for a small price at a lot of Parkview athletic events (although, honestly, I still plan on rooting for Kickapoo when the schools collide). This wonderful news also makes our goal of living downtown more feasible since Parkview is very close to the center of town.
