New Job & Upcoming Trip!

Nate and I had been praying that I would find something that I love to do while we're in Basel, but we didn't know what that would be... well, last week a job opportunity pretty much fell into my lap! As I was playing tennis with some friends, one of them mentioned that the International School of Basel (ISB) might be looking for an English-speaking tennis teacher for the Fall, so I said sign me up. He sent an email to the coordinator at the school and the next week, I was hired! I will be teaching Kindergarten through 8th grade in after school clinics, moms during the mornings, and possibly coaching the high school team. I am so excited I can hardly wait!

To give you an idea of how big the school is, there are over 1,000 students in just the elementary school!

Some more exciting news... I leave tomorrow for MONACO to see my wonderful extended family. I've been wanting to visit my cousin who lives there ever since we moved to Europe! Since she has other family visiting her right now, whom I haven't seen in a long while, I thought this would be a perfect time to see her and the others. I'm only going for a few days so check back next week for my blog on the trip!

In case you don't know what Monaco looks like, here is a picture. It is very beautiful... although, it might not look quite like this since it is right after winter and the weather forecast says it is going to be cloudy and rainy, but I'm hoping the sun will come out!
