Craziness

Our life has been super crazy lately. I sometimes feel like I'm on a roller coaster, luckily I enjoy the thrill of roller coasters. They're fun! You're never quite sure what's going to happen next. They make you laugh and scream. By the time the ride ends you sometimes feel lucky to be alive and slightly nauseous (but the thrill and experience was totally worth it) and when you get off you find the closest bench to sit on and recover until you're ready to do it all over again. Well it feels like we are riding this ride and it got put on repeat mode. Just when I think it's over and we can get off it speeds up and starts all over again. I am so ready to get off and find that bench.

The latest happenings in our ever eventful life include Steve graduating from nursing school. YAY for Steve! I am really proud of him, he is going to be a great nurse. Where he is going to be a nurse is the BIG question. Steve needs to get a job in an ICU as a new grad which is a super difficult thing right now. Our chances of him getting a job here in Vegas look pathetic. So we are making plans to move. We have rented our home to someone I know who is moving here for dental school and was willing to sign a 4 year contract. We have to be out by the 13th. So we are all packed up with nowhere to go. My in-laws are wonderful and have offered to let us crash at their place until we figure things out. Steve has applied to jobs all over the country and hopefully he will get a job offer soon. I have no idea where we'll end up but I do know whatever happens is meant to be. Of course I'm sad about possibly leaving Vegas we have lots of family and good friends here. On the other hand the opportunity to move somewhere and experience new and different things is exciting to me. I love my life and honestly wouldn't swap places with anyone I know. I'm just ready to take a little break from the insanity.

  1. I am sad you guys are moving already, but you gotta do what you gotta do! And honestly, I am counting down until its our turn! Good luck, I hope the roller coaster slows down soon! Can't wait to hear where Steve gets a job. Keep us posted.

  3. Where are you hoping to live? My bro-in-law graduated from nursing recently and quickly got a job at a corrections facility in Hermiston Oregon. Made good enough money that his wife stays home. He very recently got a different job at another corrections facility in Ontario, Oregon (closer to where their families are). Still good money...no experience necessary. Just an idea....Good luck Steve!
