The past month has been a roller coaster of emotions... highs so high that I wondered if I would ever come down, and lows so low that they took my breath away. There is something to be said for these emotions, and that is that they are real and raw and I am so thankful that I am alive and able to feel these things.
Here is the update:
Two weeks ago I received a call from one of my nursing school professors. She informed me that they were hiring where she works and she wanted me to apply for a position. I thought about it for a week or so, then figured I would stay where I am. She called me again. I gave in and sent a resume. Within an hour I was in the middle of a phone interview. A week later, I was meeting with the VP of the company interviewing for a position that I am WAY under qualified for. Long story short? I just gave my two weeks notice to take a leap of faith and take this opportunity to advance my career. I am a bit nervous, but excited at the same time to see what I will learn and what I can do to better the lives of the patients. Wish me luck.
I am in love. Yep. There it is. I am in love with the most amazing man in the world. Even better than that? He loves me, too. My heart is full to the point of exploding! Our kids love each other (they think Hannah is the coolest thing in the world!) and sometimes I sit and watch them interact with each other and it feels like we have always been a family, like we were meant to be. That's because we are.
I am going to marry my best friend! I don't know if I should be announcing this yet or not... lol. We have decided to get married. When? We don't know. All we know is that it will be soon and most likely a very small and quiet event. Through some experiences over the last month with his health and some other unforeseen circumstances, we have decided that we are not going to wait too long. Life is uncertain. It is short. Life changes in a heartbeat. When you love someone you grab hold of them and you don't let go.
Life is good. It is ever changing, and yet, life always seems to bring the good with the bad. We have a long road ahead of us, but I am so happy that I will be walking that road hand in hand with my best friend.
Updates to come!
