Chance Phone Call

So my life has a lot going on right now (that's for another post), a lot that has reminded me of who I am, who I can be, and who I ought to be.

I received a phone call yesterday evening, well make that two calls from a phone number that I did not know. No voicemail was left. On any other night, I would have never even given these phone calls a second look. But last night was different. We were at Cooper's soccer party when I received the phone calls. Not knowing who it was, I assumed that it was a fellow soccer mom trying to find us. So, unlike any other day, I pressed "talk" on my phone to return the call and waited to see who would pick up. To my surprise it was not a fellow soccer mom or even a doctor's office verifying an appointment, it was a wrong number.

The following is the way the phone call went: (we will call the other person "Chance")

Me - Hi, I just received two phone calls from this number and I am not sure who is calling.
Chance - Yes, I was trying to get ahold of "wrong number." Is this her?
Me - No, but I've had a few people call looking for her for some reason.
(add in a bit of joking comments on both ends and casual conversation for a minute or two)
Chance - Well, did you by any chance apply for a teaching job with SAISD?
Me - No, but are you hiring?
Chance - Yes, we are, do you have a teaching degree?
Me - No, but I have an economics degree and would be interested in exploring my options of becoming a teacher.
Chance - Economics? I could use you as a math teacher. Would you be interested in programs such as Region 20 to get your certification?
Me - Yes, I would. Can I call you later this week to talk more about this opportunity?
Chance - Yes, that sounds great. It was great talking with you and I look forward to meeting you.
Me - Great, It was great talking with you too. I'm glad you called the wrong number!

All I can say is WOW! How crazy, awesome, random, amazing, and perfect timing is this?!?! Such a fun spirited phone call that could change some areas in my life.

And yes, I plan to meet with her the week after Thanksgiving break to explore my options.
