It's been a busy few weeks. I got back from Girls camp and Bob and I turned around and went to Utah for the boys baptism right after that. It was fun, I can't believe they are 8 already. When I got back from that I started a new job in PACU. The very week I started in PACU Bob and I learned that he got the position in Spanish Fork Utah, so we will be moving...soon! I did tell Susan, the PACU nurse manager, that when I discussed the position in PACU with her that Bob had applied for a position in Utah and that we would most likely be moving, I just didn't know when. Within a week of learning of his new position we have found some to live and are working on planning the actual move, oh, and we had a garage sale Saturday too! talk about a whirlwind!
Originally my plan was to commute from Utah to Washington, pretty much indefinitly, I have a very sweet set up here with my job, and I don't want to just walk away from it. I have been floating to PACU for about a year now, in hopes of getting a position there and I finally got one! I was also recently asked to be on the Multicare Nursing Research oversight committee, and I am so excited about it! I have a mentor, I have things in place to finish my Masters degree in nursing, I have the schedule I want, I work with awesome positive people and I actually could go on and on about all the fantastic reasons I should continue to commute here to work, including unfinished projects. There is only one huge problem, my husband won't be here, and the closer it gets, the more real it gets that he will be in Utah and I will be here the less I want to do that. I mean, I married my husband for a reason, choosing to be apart for him just because I love my career doesn't make much sense because I definitely love him more than my career. I am sure I will find a position that is just as rewarding and uplifting as the one I have here, it is just kind of hard to see that right now. For the mean time I will be living in Utah, but staying with my sister in Tacoma the majority of time while trying to figure out exactly what step the Lord wants me to take next and when. I do have a little time though, because Bob's job will keep him extremetly busy until the Costco opens there in Spanish Fork, so we wouldn't really see each other much. Time to get on my way to work!
