Lee Vining

Brian interviewed for an assistant principal job in Lee Vining, California, on Thursday. He's applied for more than twenty jobs and interviewed for half a dozen, none of which panned out. We've gotten our hopes up more than once. We'd finally reached the point where we wouldn't grow emotionally attached to a place, because we knew that would just lead to disappointment. But yesterday we got a phone call from the Lee Vining superintendent, saying they wanted to offer him the job! I started bawling as soon as I heard the message on the answering machine. We are pretty sure that we want him to take it, but it will definitely be tough leaving our current jobs, friends, and church. One negative is that we will be moving, but we'll be nowhere closer to family. On the plus side: Lee Vining is the eastern gateway to Yosemite, so it is beautiful. The town itself has only 500 or so people, and we've dreamed for six years about living in a small town.
