Perfect I tell you!

I know we can all relate to the fact that at times life feels like a chaotic mess. Sometimes nothing seems to go right and mountains of obstacles heartlessly stare you in the face. Once in a while, though, the way pieces of life fall perfectly into place is just amazing. It puts you in awe of life’s design and just makes you feel good great; kind of like the feeling you get when you complete a 1,000 piece puzzle! There is new news that has put me in that state of awe.

This morning Dave met with Ross University's preparatory school principal to talk about PJ's admission. The topic of me and my fluency in American Sign Language came up. It turns out there is a Deaf student (first semester) at Ross right now and Mary (the principal) wants to meet with me to talk about a possible job opportunity translating.

Why is that so awesome?? I (potentially) will have a job while in Dominica, meaning I won't have to solely support myself with student loans (even though the cost of living is very inexpensive). The job I'll (potentially) have is a huge resume builder for my dream career (interpreting/translating) and American Sign Language is something I am passionate (borderline obsessive) about. This new potential opportunity on top of all all the other positives for moving to Dominica has put me on cloud 9! Talk about having your cake and eating it too!!! I mean, what were the chances that there would actually be a Deaf student in Dominica while I am there?!!!

And that's the way the cookie (perfectly) crumbles, folks! I'm absolutely starry eyed and even more excited about the move now--I didn't know that was possible! Even if I don't get the translating job, I'll have a Deaf friend to hang out with; fantastic way to keep up with the language and make a new friend in the process. I don't think it can get more perfect than this. Thank you, life!!!
