good news at chez shalom

Beloved got great news today - he's been moved from a non-continuing contract (teacher-speak for, "you might have a job next year, you might not, good luck with that") to a continuing contract - after only one month of school! We were crossing our fingers that a continuing contract might come his way after Christmas break, so it's fantastic to get the offer so early. He's gotten great feedback from the principal and, even better, he's really enjoying the work.

Of all the nerve-wracking things we did during our move, his giving up an 18-year continuing contract in Old City to take a one-year-only contract here was top of the list. Thanks, God, for making it all worthwhile.
