Things have been pretty wild around our house the last few weeks so I decided I better fill you in.
First things first, I got a job! Yay hurray! I was offered a job with a pediatric home health agency a few weeks ago and was excited about the possibilities with it.We then immediately decided I needed a car because there is no way we could survive with only one car if I have a job, especially a job that requires driving. Which brings me to exciting point number 2, we bought a car!
We car shopped for a couple of days and then bought a brand-new 2013 Hyundai Elantra and love it! We've never had a new car so we are feeling like we are from the future driving around our little Elantra.
All in the span of 5 days I had a job and we bought a car. It was pretty crazy but we were really excited. As things progressed with the home health agency I found out that the case I thought I was going to get wouldn't work anymore. So I decided to meet with a couple of families and see if it would be a good fit. After being rejected by both I was starting to become very anxious and nervous. We bought this car with the understanding that it was my car to be paid for with MY paycheck. I was wondering how on earth I was going to pay for my car when I didn't officially have a paycheck yet.
Being the planner that I am, it started to consume my thoughts, give me anxiety, and make me feel as though I was never going to get a job as a nurse. After a few days of worrying, no news from the agency, and lots of prayers I began to feel comfort and that everything would work out. Just a couple of days later I met with a family who liked me and I was officially offered the job! I am working full time and the hours are great. I work three 8 hour shifts (10-6) and one 12 hour shift (9-9). Seriously, what nurse works 10-6? The major downfall is that the 12 hour shift is on Sundays so that leads to less than optimal church attendance, but thankfully this job will not be permanent.
I have been feeling so blessed with the way things have worked out over the last few weeks. This job is perfect for me right now! I am really enjoying what I'm doing, the hours are great, of course it's nice to make a little money, and it is SO MUCH FUN having cute scrubs! I just haven't even been able to pull out my green UVU scrubs because everything else is more exciting! haha.

{This was obviously taken prior to receiving our permanent plates, but when I got those TEXAS plates it was a little surreal. I'm a Texas driver. At least according to my plates, my driver's license is a different story....}
