somewhere over the rainbow!!!

SOOOO somewhere in Dallas I HAVE AN APT.!!! i am soo excited, I just got "the" call. My apt. complex is Madison at Cedar Springs.(for more info..call or text me) but im pretty sure it wouldnt be safe to put the whole address on here, esp since its not THE safest thing to do to uproot and move 2 states away by yourself and in an area you have NO clue about...but i aint skeered....just kidding!...this week i have been way more anxious/uptight/nervous about the move and wondering what in the heck i am thinking and i might possibly should be admitted into 7 west at the U. BUT oh well, here goes something! My apt. complex has a pool, workout room, its 5 minutes from the hospital and exactly 6 hours and 26 minutes from my driveway here per mapquest. I thought I would move in next Friday June 6, but my recruiter told me a few minutes ago that my move in date is June 7...so that works better for me anyways, also i just found out one of my friends from Brandon lives like right down the road from me in Dallas, so that is very comforting to know and exciting!! My first day of work will be that following monday june 9 i have to be there at 8 am for orientation from 8-5...not really sure exactly where in the hospital i am supposed to go, but i am certain i will figure it out..........anywho!!!! so weird like, i leave next week! I only have 2 more shifts at the U! craziness!! LOVE YALL!

the point of no return!

So i just signed my contract with american mobile (online) craziness....no turning back now, and i turned in my resignation on monday, after a little bit of drama, but no worries now! so i am seriously on my way to Dallas! I have a pile in the middle of my floor getting stacked up to take with me, and will start slowly packing the jeep once it gets home to me! lin, kim, john, alan and clint and lila, andrew and i went to julep tonight to celebrate the new job,(thank you Linda! i love you sooo much)......i kept telling them I AM COMING BACK I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN!! ha...so weird, i did get a little sad walking out and saying goodbye, even though it is SOOOO not goodbye! thanks to my bestest friends in the world for being so supportive about this, i could not do this without knowing each of you were behind me! i am dreading going to work tomorrow, but i can do ANYTHING for 72 more hours, it makes me sad, bc i feel like i am letting them down, but i hope they would know this is something i really want to do, and is going to be an amazing opportunity for me! anyways...friday saturday sunday day to work, then tues wed thurs night and i am DONE!!! ...........anywho.....LOVE YALL!

Some day soon...

So here goes, with my first entry, it is naptime in Huntsville, Alabama, we are all resting, especially after an exciting night of my radiator blowing out, no worries we took pictures of the event at the sonic in bessemer, we are here for Maddies dance recital tonight, which the theme is something to do with the USA, Maddie is dancing to Surfin USA and Firefly. too cute! So yesterday I accepted my first travel nurse position ever in Dallas, Texas...i move into my private 1 bedroom free furnished apartment on June 6 and i will be done with that assignment on Sept. 6. I have already googled everything imaginable to do in Dallas and am SOOOO excited! I got on my travel nurse companies website, and realize within the next 2 weeks, i have a ton of paperwork and tying things together quickly to make this happen! I am so excited about this opportunity to see what God will do with me, and I am trust Him that this is right for me right now, I am praying that things will become very clear to me, and that I will have my eyes open and my heart healed, and that He will just be with me every step of this exciting, scary, new way. I trust Him and cannot wait to see what His will is for my new life in Dallas, and whatever comes thereafter!!! I am sad because this will be my first ever summer away from BRANDON and the loves of my life there, all my family, friends, church, my "trees", laying out and riding around and just having a good ol southern summertime with everyone, but Texas will be a good first assignment I think, and maybe not too much of a culture shock. This whole thing came about pretty quick, but I dont think it was going to go any other way than that, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and just had a moment a couple of weeks ago, where I realized, its time for me to fly a little and get away for a while. my co-workers probably remember that night, bc as always tearful Bailey, came out but it was a good cry, and has brought me to this point of adventure and time for me to fly and become the person God wants me to be. anywho...i cant think of much more at the moment, but I will keep everyone posted and pictures will be coming and stories about my adventures in the Big D!!!! LOVE YALL!!
