24 days

We got another baby cat! Meet Pepper (we call her Peppit)

I made a really good stew the other night. I need to utilize the crock pot more! 

24 days until I get married... 

I got a job at the health department. Today I have to tell them that I can't take it. I was offered my dream job! I did my practicum on the General Surgery floor at  a wonderful hospital here in Athens. It will be a night shift position, but Nathan and I talked about it and it will be a great thing for me and us together. Short term plan: Nathan will get back into school so he can do what he loves, and I can put away some money. Long term: do my year even if I hate it and then do what I want and have babies. 

But really, I'm really blessed. I'm up so early because I have this inner turmoil about telling them at the health department that I resign before I even started. It just doesn't seem like "me". But I guess it's better I tell them now than wait. The way this dream job of mine fell into my lap quite unexpectedly last night. I got an offer over the phone from the unit director, and I just can't pass it up. I really fell in love with it while I was there, and unfortunately there just wasn't a position open. But now there is! They are comfortable with our honeymoon date as well, so I am very happy and my entire family, my fiancé, and his mom, and my gut, tell me it's the right thing to do. 

God is blessing Nathan and I in some totally unexpected wonderful ways! 

I can't wait to get married! I do feel like night shift will be hard, but, I made it through nursing school with Nathan and I feel like we can make it for at least a little while as I start to learn the night shift! I also get to be first on the list to go to day shift if someone else leaves, etc. which makes me very happy!

I know this is scary, and I hate to turn down something I already agreed to, and it really hurts my heart, but like my friend said; "it's just business". 

I love God and I love Nathan and I love everything right now! 

24 days!
