"Got the Job!" and "Big City? Where?"

Got the Job!
Within talking to me about 15 minutes I was offered a job as a substitute teacher for the "big city's" school district. I have to pass the FBI check and all, but hey, we passed all that when we became foster parents so I'm not worried about it.

Thank you to those who pray for our success! It means so much!

Big City? Where?
It is funny how people think Springfield is a big city. They talk about crime rates and things that make me laugh inside (it would be rude to laugh out loud). They have never lived in Arizona where crime rates are triple what they are here. (Hmmm, maybe that's why Arizona wants SB 1070?) It is the largest city in our area, so I can see how it would be big in a way, but we have St. Louis, Kansas City and Oklahoma City within a 3 hour drive...so...?

Our little city is so clean! We decided to make it a game and have been trying to find graffiti or trash. We did see one train car that had one little squiggle of graffiti on it last week. That's it! I see more "graffiti" on people's bodies than anything else.
