I spent Thursday night with my friends Patti and Hank in Redmond so I would be fairly close to the location of my interview Friday morning. The school is called the Open Window School, and is in Bellevue, near and a bit south of Seattle. It is a private school for gifted students, and has two classes of 18-20 for each grade K through 8th. It was a nice modern campus up on the top of Cougar Mountain. I'd never been there before, and was tremendously impressed with the view. And in this area of tremendous views, that's saying something!
As I made the drive west from Carson City, I was awed over and over by the beauty of the mountains. I can not find words to describe the magnificence of this mountainous area, beginning in northern California and continuing on up through Oregon - Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and into Washington - Mt. Rainier. Magnificent, awesome, beautiful, unbelievable - no words are enough. I didn't realize how much I had missed this scenery. It feels like home: restful, peaceful, comfortable.
The interview went okay. It wasn't what I was hoping for. The position was called Instructional Assistant, and is pretty much like a teacher's aid, paying slightly more than McDonalds. So I keep searching.
It's been a while since I started this, and it's now Tuesday. I'm at my friend Gloria's and will go with her to our class reunion on Saturday. We've made plans to get our old "gang" together before the actual event, so it will be nice to have some time to spend with just us.
This week I've been sending out resumes into Oregon. I plan to call all the places I apply before I leave here and see if I can come interview on my way back to Nevada. So as the process continues, I will keep you informed as to how it's going.
Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. It means more to me than I can say.
