After 11 years and 2 weeks today was our last day with BMS.
We started with them in mid-September 2007 when we came to Birmingham to start
training. It seems a little poetic that our last day was also spent here in
Birmingham, living at the same training centre.
Today was also the first day of a new adventure for Dan. He spent
today in a school having a trial day for a long-term supply. The school have
offered him a maternity cover for the rest of the school year, which he has
taken. It is teaching secondary ICT mostly Years 7-9 in a large comprehensive
in West Birmingham. Its great for us as a family to have a long term and
reliable income as we continue to settle. Becky is also job hunting and has
started to apply for jobs.
Sam and Mim are settling into their school. It is definitely
a learning curve for them and us too, but generally they are enjoying it and doing
well. We have managed to connect with a couple of Mums at the school and Becky
is planning to go along to the next PTA meeting in a week.
Fish & Chips to celebrate getting work! |
With that in mind we have also started house hunting close
to the children’s school. The flat we are in is great, but it is small and it’s
quite a trip to school each morning. It can take from between 10 to 30 minutes
to get across there, depending on traffic. So we’re looking for places within
walking distance to the school which is in a nice and popular area.
On this last day there is so much we could say and reflect
on as our time with BMS comes to a close. We want to thank you all for your interest,
support and prayers over the years. The journey turned out to be a lot longer than
we expected when we wrote our first blog in 2007. It has been an amazing
adventure and a huge part of our lives. We look forward to the next one. But we
probably won’t blog about that.
Thank you.
