Southern Hospitality
Okay, first of all, let me just say that I just assembled an entire rolly-office chair by my self, on which I am now sitting. Yep, I'm a jenius. With a capitol "J".
-------------------------------
Okay, so on to the content that relates to the title.
You have not seen hospitality until you've spent some time with a small-town Eastern Kentucky family. These people not only put MJ and I up for the night, gave me a new toothbrush when MJ used mine by accident (bringing the total number of people who have used my toothbrush up to three), and fed us breakfast; they also took me to a soccer game, to the library, let me borrow their books, treated me to lunch at my first authentic Mexican restaurant (I'm not talking Taco Bell here!!), and drove me around in their convertible for the day. And never thought anything of it.
These grand events took place while Mary Joy was teaching at the MAC, where I had an interview yesterday. Part of the interview process was for me to teach a private lesson to a girl in front of Krys (Yes, that's pronounced "Chris") and Jennifer, who would ultimately decide if I was to be hired on by the MAC.
Ok, now I'll put it together a little better:
When MJ drives out to the MAC to teach, which is two hours away, she stays with a student's family over night, because she teaches there Fridays and Saturdays. I had an interview on Friday, and on Saturday I got to hang out with one of her student's family. Making sense?
And FYI, the scenery is amazing.
Oh, and...
I got the job.
I walked out of the MAC this afternoon and looked around. Left to right: trees. Up and down: Mountains and sky. I felt like my life is beautiful. I'm starting to feel like this really is my life, and pieces are starting to fit.
...It feels like happy.
