It has been a long time since I posted. We've been so busy. I started my new job back in August at Liberty Hospital. I work on a surgical/oncology/hospice unit at night. I love it, but am definitely still adjusting. What I find that hardest is admitting a patient one day, being there when they're diagnosed with cancer the next, and seeing them placed in hospice just days later. I know it's something that will never be easy, but I love caring for these patients and being able to laugh and cry with them and their families when they need it the most.
On a lighter note, Andrew and I bought a house! We've been here 2 weeks and I couldn't love it more! We bought a 4bedroom house that was a foreclosure, so that meant some work. In two weeks we have built a privacy fence, painted 4 bedrooms, the kitchen and living room, and moved in. Whew! We couldn't have done it without the help of my parents and in-laws! I have a few favorite things so far... There is a dishwasher, a garage, and extra closets! At our last place we (meaning I) had to wash dishes by hand, and I HATED it! We had a garage at the last place but it was no connected and was a haul just to get up to the house, so we didn't use it. And closet space! Oh my it's wonderful! Every month when it's time for Andrew to go to drill we struggle to find all of his stuff because there is so much it is stored in so many different places! Not anymore! We can finally put all of his Army stuff in one closet AND its not in our master bedroom floor!! (it really is the little things!)
Well here are a few pictures of our new home! We welcome visitors, so come see us!
Oh yeah! On our first night here, there were fireworks! I know they were just welcoming us to our new home and to the neighborhood!!
