El Materdor!

Yes, that is exactly how I wanted to spell it! On Tuesday, October 4th, after an interview earlier that day, Matt accepted his first full time teaching position. WHOO - HOO! He works in a different school district than me, so pay, benefits, and breaks are a little bit different but it's a great school and district. He now teaches Algebra 1 and Geometry at Bolsa Grande High School, the Matadors. The only thing I could think of was the Mater's Tall Tales where he says he was a famous bulldozer fighter, El Materdor. So that's what Daniel calls it now! Anyways, it's been a bit of an adjustment for him going from junior high to high school but he's loving it! He hopes to get into coaching (though district policy says you can't the first year to help you focus) football and basketball and the football team looks like they are improving so we've got high hopes. We were just talking yesterday that him working almost the end of our plans. We always planned that we'd both work once he had his credential for 2-3 years until his job was secure and then I could quit and be a stay at home mommy full time. It's really happening! We're both so excited and enjoy the little extras that come with his job (like going to the football games!)
