SO....
The dust has cleared on my first year in Baltimore. I was able to finish the year with a smile on my face and having made some good relationships with students. I was also displaced due to budget from my school. I had interviews at 2 schools that haven't panned out.
I've made some great new friends in Bmore. It seems, in my manic state in January following my father's passing, I managed to estrange myself from one of my closest friends. I can't tell you how much that sucks.
Liz and I are now separated. Yes, I know all the Bible about divorce. We didn't plan on it. But we truly are happy and still great friends with each other. And, yes, I've watched Fireproof. It didn't change anything. So, loved ones, please refrain from getting preachy. It doesn't help.
So i'm going into this summer living alone with no set job.
God help me.
Thanks for your well wishes and prayers. They mean so much!
Love Yall!
