Fantastic News!

Prayers have been answered!

Tonight I can rest well! This weekend I can finally exhale. My "laughter" will no longer be forced, and my "smiles" won't be faked.

I got a call today from my PRN job, and they want to bring me on full time until my hospital decides what they're going to do. They said they want to bring me on full-time for good...but understand my situation with the contract.

?!?!?!

How is this even possible?! It's like, too good to be true. I'm seriously pinching myself here.

And even better?!?!....

My position is 6am-2:30 pm M-F.

WHAT?!?!?!!!! This kind of schedule does NOT exist in healthcare, my friends.

I got offered a job on Wednesday that was going to be 16 hr night shifts on the weekends plus 1 hr night shift during the week. And I was going to accept that crappy schedule....because I want to be a nurse, already!

But starting Monday morning it's real!!!

(Meanwhile..I'm still waiting for my hospital to snap-to-it and set up an interview so we can get that show on the road). But this is a HUGE peace of mind!

I seriously have NOT been myself since....graduation?! I've been worried, stressed out, scared, and melancholy. It's probably good Ryan has been traveling so much -- b/c my attitude has been almost "life-sucking".

I know this isn't that big of a deal. It's just a full time job. But this has been a battle!! So I'm counting my blessings right now!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm waiting for Ryan to fly in tonight at 10 pm and then I'm ready to kick off a fun weekend!

It IS a big deal!! You are building a home after all!! So I know it's a huge relief to have a job. And it's really cool that they understand that you will work for Oro Valley when they get their rears in gear and offer you a job!

See, I knew it would all work out! I know it's hard to believe that when you are in the middle of a crisis like this, but I KNEW all along that you'd find something. ;) Congrats!!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...
