Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

From Dumps to Blessings

We got some more good news yesterday. Darin got a new job!

The school where he has been teaching for the last 4 years has become a less than desirable place to work. The administration is unsupportive of it's teachers, and sadly, lots of teachers at that school are looking elsewhere for work. The science department that Darin had originally started working with have all left to work at other schools.

It has been a long month of interviews. Even though this was only the third interview, it sure seemed like it's been an eternity. The first interview was in Payson. We were really bummed that he didn't get that job. We were very excited to move down south. And the second interview was at a private school--the last thing we ever wanted to do! Not fans of private/charter schools at all!

It seems that Heavenly Father thinks we need to stay where we're at, because the school where Darin got the job is really close to home, and from what we can tell, has a great administration and the department head seems eager to get Darin over there.
