Its been awhile since I've posted anything, so I thought it was time for another quick update.
I (Courtney) have been working at All Starz Children's Academy for a few months. I float between the infant & toddler rooms. Getting up at 5:45am every morning is not so fun, but overall I am enjoying the job & have some really sweet co-workers. I have learned a lot about children & the babies are so adorable!
Although working at the daycare has been good, I think that this is my last week. A new opportunities has come up to be a part of the staff at The Pure Barre. It is a new fitness class that uses a ballet barre. Locations are opening up all over the US & there will be locations opening in Chapel Hill & Raleigh this Fall. I met with the owner on Friday & it went really well. She'll extend a formal offer to me on Tuesday, but has already offered me a position. Therefore, I'll likely be headed to Denver, CO on August 18th to receive training in the Pure Barre technique. The nice thing about this new opportunity is that I'll still get to work in the morning & afternoon hours, but I'll get double the pay per hour & work fewer hours each day. There is also potential for growth as they'll be looking for managers & hope to open more locations in the Raleigh area. I'll also still have my evenings free to teach ballet class. I'm excited about this new job & will post again after the training intensive in CO.
We also have found a great church & have made some new friends. We're attending Southbridge Fellowship. The church has only been around for 3 years & the services are currently held in a movie theater. The goal is to eventually find a permanent home for the church, but the movie theater actually works really well. Some theaters are used for Sunday School classes, one has the main service, and another has a video stream of the speaker from the main auditorium. The music & the pastor are great. We've joined a community group that meets every Sunday night with a total of 7 couples. We feel really blessed to have found this church and met some new friends. 
Well, that's it for now. Let us know whats going on in your lives. We hope you're well.
