On our way back from the Outer Banks, we had a chance to stop and visit Kirstin in her new townhouse in Greenville, North Carolina. She is about 2 1/2 hours from the Outer Banks so it was nice to get to stop and see her as she had just moved in two days prior.
For those who do not know, Kirstin has moved to North Carolina with her cousin Samantha, and Samantha's college roommate, Emily. (Emily is arriving today!) Samantha and Emily both have their Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy and got jobs at the hospital in Greenville. All are very excited to be in North Carolina. Kirstin has been to the Outer Banks once with our family but has been to South Carolina endless times. I think the draw to North Carolina was that one of their favorite shows, "One Tree Hill", was focused on and taped in North Carolina so why not move there? Besides, this is the time in her life to do it and we encouraged it! When they first moved out, Kirstin did not have a job. But.....and this is a good but....
Last Monday she set out to visit and contact all elementary schools in the area and outside the city limits. I was in a grad class all week and received a text from her to call her back as soon as possible. This was about 3:30 in the afternoon. So after my class, I called her and she shared the great news that she is going to be a 4th grade teacher!!!! Yeah!!!!! She called them, they asked her to come in and interview, and they offered her the job all in one day (hope she knows that is not normal but it worked for her!)
So we are excited and happy that she is adjusting well and loving Greenville. They have ventured to various activities/festivals, met some friends who live below them (they live in a townhouse and some guys live below them), and are enjoying a LOT of time by the pool.
Like her stepmom, she has started her own blog to keep people up to date on her life ventures. You can get to it at http://keriank.blogspot.com. Follow her and see what crazy situations she gets into in Greenville.
Yeah Miss Kerian!!! :)
