So-- Kevin landed a great new job teaching music at a private school. I won't say the name of the school, but he does get a lot of time off for Jewish holidays and also happens to be across the street from the Newport Beach Temple. Lovely area. The only catch is the commute is unpleasant. Yesterday the poor guy spent more than 4 hours in the car. The first photo is of Kevin when he arrived home at 7:30 pm. The last one is Kevin at 5 am getting ready for the day. (yes, they are out of order, a little problem with the blogger.) I had a photo of him leaving at 6 am, but I was asked nicely not to post it.
Kevin's day consists of teaching a "garage band" and an "orchestra" as well as assisting with keyboard and library and even lunch. He earns every penny and works hard, and we love him for it. You may wonder why we haven't moved there...well, since my job provides an apartment, and housing isn't cheap, we are kind of stuck right now. Baby steps to the next Jewish Holiday...

More than four hours in a car! Puke! That Kevin is a good guy. I get antsy after 30 minutes in a car.
Congratulations, Kevin! On the job, not the commute. Ouch. You sure you don't want to follow us back here to Utah? I'll start asking around about music teaching jobs -- just say the word.
How exciting! Teaching is fun but exhausting. The most annoying part is dealing with the parents and the administration--the kids are great. I taught 9th grade pottery for three years and ran the at-risk program in Brigham City. They've wanted me to teach art part-time here in the middle school, but I'm wanting my boys to get older. Kevin will have to tell how it is to work in a PRIVATE school--fancy pants!
When I take pictures of Brian now he says "that better not go on the blog"...tee-he-he!
Wow, congratulations to Kevin! Sorry about the commute though. That's the wooorst.
Hey you should move to NC we have an awesome music scene out here and we have an ocean too. Plus lots of trees and stuff. Peace and Love Jamie
Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. Mike and Jamie--Kevin says "look away", as in go ahead and find him a job in your vicinity. We are up for anything.
