The Good News

Hi there!  I hope all is well in your corner of the world.  It’s all good ’round here. GREAT would probably be a better word.  I have so many reasons to smile these days.

It’s time for an {ontherun} update.  My days are chock full of activity – mornings at gym (or on the road), afternoons in the kitchen, evenings out ‘n about – and I haven’t had much time for blogging.  But I have good news to share!

This news is SO good that I embraced my inner baker and made some legit cupcakes to mark the occasion.

Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes?  Please and thank you.  These little darlings are over-the-top good.

Good enough to match my over-the-top news…

I GOT A JOB!

Miss Paige is back!  After searching, applying, and interviewing for various positions, I received (and accepted!) an official job offer on Monday.  I’ve never been more excited to hear those three little words – back to school! On September 1, I will begin the year in a new school district working at a special education teacher for children in grades 1 – 3.  Yay!

When I received the phone call, I teared up.  I am so grateful that this job opportunity came my way.  I have been blessed in so many ways.  I am a very lucky girl and I am forever appreciative of everyone who supported and guided me through hard times, so I could make it to this place.

But summer ain’t over yet!  Let the good times roll.
