As I can see I slacked in the blogging world after our first year in Jerome so I will start updating there.
Koen completed his 3rd grade year as was referred to the GATE (gifted and talented education) program. Kai attended kindergarten and learned to LOVE school. Havyn and Kael spent plenty of time making memories with their Grandma Teeter, who babysat them everyday.
We both taught the 2014-2015 year in Jerome. Tyrell stayed at the middle school there and I taught 4th grade. That year was not all I had hoped it would be and near the end I wondered if I would continue to teach. I knew I wasn't going to go back to the school I was currently teaching at and wasn't sure what I was going to do. We had kind of jokingly talked about venturing to Wyoming one day, as the educational experiences that are available for kids there as well as the teacher pay were preferable. We nervously started applying for jobs that we kind of laughed off as no way we would get interviews because Wyoming is known for being very competitive as far as teaching jobs go. Tyrell got a call to interview and we were beyond ecstatic that he had even stood out among the many applicants (almost 100 for Alica's elementary job). A few days after interviewing he received news that they would like to hire him. We couldn't believe it! Our lives were about to change majorly! Soon after I got my first interview, then a second and no luck. When the call came for a third we thought it best to take the long journey to be there in person and nail this one. It worked! We were now anticipating a move in 2 short months, far away from everything and everyone we had ever known.
