Well as you know Chet and I innkeep and manage Cabin Creek Landing Bed and Breakfast. Winters are very slow at the bed and breakfast so I decided to get a full time job and last Monday was my first day at Marion school as the special education para educator. The great thing is Marion school is only two miles from the B&B so my commute ( wouldn't even consider it a commute) is very short and easy, which is a blessing because having to commute to kalispell (25miles from us) is difficult in the winter because of the road conditions.
I didn't really know what to expect coming in Monday morning and I was just given a schedule and they said go. It was a little hectic, but by Friday I was getting the hang of it. I help students in 2nd, and 5th - 8th grade. It's a very small school of only 110 students for K-8th.
I think it will be a great experience in the education field and it gets my foot in the door. We are still innkeeping and managing the B&B, and during my Christmas break for school we will be very busy at the B&B with guests.
In less than two weeks we will start another chapter by adding one more Todd to the family: a puppy. Stay tuned to hear our stories and see pictures of our soon to be lab. We can't wait!
