So I guess that it's time for another update. I really wish I could be more creative with this whole blog thing. I read all kinds of interesting things that other people post and it seems all I ever do is update you all on my life. I will try to improve upon this promptly. Anyway, I am now living in Nashville again (yay!) It's good to be back, although definitely different than the last time I was here. I don't have many friends to hang out with much like I used to. Most have either gotten married or moved away so it's a little lonely at times. Hopefully I will be able to meet more people once we find a church and once I start my new job. Speaking of jobs, I have been working at Olive Garden near my house, which I haven't really liked. I don't really have much in common with the people there, and I have decided to stop working there come the end of next week. I will be starting at Goodlettsville Middle school once the new year starts. I will be teaching Spanish and Geography (although mainly Geography, which I don't know much about!) It should be interesting to say the least. I also interviewed this past week with Belmont University to be an adjunct instructor there teaching a class at night, but don't know yet whether I got the job or not. Hopefully I will hear something within the next week.
Not only have I moved to a new place, started a new job (maybe 2) I have also started the process of premarital counseling. Coincidentally, the man that is working with us (Paul Cates) actually married my parents. Strange, yet I think it's a neat twist. I don't know how many times we will meet, but I am excited to learn more not only about Ray, but about myself and how to cope with our differences. We will also be starting Financial Peace here in the next month. Alot of things going on, not to mention planning a wedding. All of it is a bit overwhelming and quite honestly, stresses me out a little (ok, a LOT). Other than that, I spend most of my time with Ray, hanging out and watching tv. I know, I know. Not super interesting, but it's my life as I know it right now. Hope everyone is happy and well!

Well, have fun being back in Nashville!
And my parents were married by Paul's brother Curtis, in his home. Those Cates boys get around. =)
Didn't know you were back in N'ville! Welcome :)
In what area are you living? Will you have a long commute to Goodlettesville? Try not to stress too much - enjoy being engaged, it's a very special time that goes by more quickly than you think!
Sounds about par for the course for an engaged person. I'm glad you're enjoying your time with Ray. I have a friend that teaches some adjunct classes at Belmont in the Religion department. Let us know about the job when you hear; I'd love to put you in touch with her. She might could give you some ideas about adjunct work. Take care!
Thanks for the update! Good luck with your new job - let us know how that Geography class turns out. :-)
You would think that Geography wouldn't change much over the years but nearly half of the countries of the world have changed since I was in school. Of course, we have added a couple of states as well. And soon there will be no Antartica, New York, and Florida according to Al Gore. You will have to change lesson plans every year!
