So last week Wendy Glover (Andy's boss's wife) invited me to help with Vacation Bible School at her church Pear Orchard Presbyterian. I decided to go last minute mostly because I was getting down having to be by myself all day long. VBS was good, exhausting, but good. I was able to meet a few people and Wendy gave me the numbers of places to try for possible jobs. On the last day, Friday, at the closing ceremonies, Cathy Haynie (headmistress of Christ Covenant) found me and asked if I'd be interested in meeting with her about the position! What I didn't know at the time was, that a few days previous, as Cathy was mid-sentence telling her assistant that they needed to start praying for a new K-aide (because the previous just quit due to family issues), Wendy Clover comes up to tell her that she needs to meet this Kellie Jeffrey who is new and looking for a job. Then, Cathy secretly observes me in the VBS class and thought I would be a perfect fit! She was her own recommendation :)
The school sounds like a great place to work, small classes, Christian, a holiday every month, how can I not say yes? So thank you all for praying. We are so grateful to God for blessing us so.

And I know you all were wondering what Sat morning birthday surprise was, I hope I didn't keep you in suspense too long. Andy took me to the MS Agricultural and Forestry Museum. It's set up to look like a small village from the 1800's. There's the main museum that had a huge model train exhibit, and then the grounds had a school, church, general store and more that looked just like it did way back when. My camera died early on so I only got a few random pics.
A really large rocker.
I think he's trying to get some lovin' from the females.
Other than the intense heat we had a blast. And afterward Andy took me out to the Cock of the Walk, for some fried catfish and feeding the ducks. Thank you Andy for making my birthday so wonderful.

Oh yay! Great, I'm so happy for you Kellie, to get a job. I know how it feels to be alone in a new place and trust me, you're doing the right thing in making friends/staying busy early. It took me about 6 months to do that when we moved to MS and I always wished I would have earlier.
Love you guys. Let's talk soon!
So happy for you Kellie. Now you not only have a job but also making new friends which will make living there so much happier. Love you and the Blog. Nana
whoo hoo!! praise the lord!
Wow, Kellie, I am so happy for you.
I think you will be great with the children, and a valuable aide for the teacher. It should be fun, and a great way to learn about your neighbors, and friends in your new home area. Praise God for giving you the desire of your heart.
we love you and miss you
