Easter and job applications

So I just applied to a teaching position in Roseville. It was quite terrifying to hit the button to actually send my application. But I did it. It is sent. Hopefully they will be contacting me within a couple weeks. I'm freaking out. Am I ready? How will the interview go? Ahhhh!!! But I am also stoked thinking about my own classroom. What kind of things I would want to decorate and what types of motivational strategies I can use. I am waiting on a letter of recommendation from my advisor to apply to more positions. There are tons for special ed teachers online. Let's just hope one of them like me. Ryan went to the career fair today and from the sound of it he met some interesting people. HP in Roseville is hiring. It sounds too good to be true so I'm trying not to think about that one too much. He also really liked an insurance company. He would have to go to Minesotta for 6 months for training but hey, it's worth it if he can get the job. Cross your fingers for us.

We had a wonderful time over spring break. I turned in my PACT! Now I don't have to stress about finishing it, I get to stress about if I'm going to pass or not. Great. But I have just been trying to keep it out of my thoughts and worry about the millions of other things I need to do. We went to Ryan's parents house for a night before heading to good ol Gilroy. I can't explain how much I love going home. It is such a treat to just sit and hang out with my parents. They both crack me up and I feel like I have no worries when I go home. The Monterey Bay Aquarium was amazing! They had a new sea horse exhibit. Super cool, especially the lil teeny tiny ones. We followed the aquarium with lunch at Bubba Gumps. Ryan and my parents made fun of me because I opted for the chicken sandwich. I guess it's weird to go to a seafood restaurant and not get the seafood. Eh. The sandwich was de-lish. So whatever. Here is a picture of us at the aquarium. It was seriously a perfect day in Monterey. Oh and Ryan and I found a candy store. The kind with the barrels full of taffy. We definitely went on a candy binge.

On Saturday we got to visit my cousins twin babies, Sophia and Maximo. I could seriously hold them forever. Little Maximo is the most chill baby I have ever been around. He was in love with Ryan and was just fixated on him. He kept his focus on Ryans face the whole time. Ryan was a little uncomfortable holding the babies but I think he passed the test and will be an amazing papa one day. I'm thinking about 3 years till we have babies. I also got to see my bestest friends for a lil while on Saturday night and am so excited for them to come visit this weekend for Kristen's birthday. We are dressing up for 80's night. Pictures will be posted I'm sure. For Easter we headed over to Ryan's cousins house and hid eggs for the kids. His cousin Dylan is one of the cutest and sweetest little boys ever. We played a game called Ladder Golf. Has anyone played it? I LOVED it. It is a super fun outdoor game where you throw this piece of string with a golf ball on each end. You throw it towards this ladder looking thing, and depending on which section you can get it to land on, you score a certain amount of points. I am going to have to invest in one. This is what it looks like.
