Things are becoming Real

Even though we've been living with practically nothing these past several months, picking up & just going isn't as simple as it would seem. We've been planning it all out & the timing of our crazy move is all dependent on so many things (hence why only you precious few know for right now. Yes I just used the word hence lol). I think we've narrowed it down to two different time periods: RIGHT NOW (OMG!) or December when the kids are between semesters. Waiting until June when the kids are done with this school year is enough to make Mathew have a panic attack, so this is what we're going with.

So... do we apply for the school in VT for the kids? Do we renew our enrollment to the boys' current school? Do we request our belongings from ServPro, even though our house is nowhere near ready for it, just to start packing for a potential move? Just to name a few of the panic-inducing questions on our minds. So to make the decision for us, I decided to look into jobs. I figure we can't go anywhere if we don't have the income to continue to pay the bills, right? ;)

So I looked into all of my options & it looks like working in the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth would be my best bet. As many of you know, working with kids is most definitely where my heart is, & oncology is what I know & love. Well, whaddaya know! Job postings for Dartmouth show two potential opportunities: PICU, & Heme/Onc critical care!! Sweet! I think though, (from what I'm reading on the listings) that that means I will have to follow either one or the other of my passions: kids, or oncology. But I think I'm okay with that. I mean, both would be an amazing learning opportunity, and hello: I could work at Dartmouth! Wow! So I bit the bullet & submitted my resume & started the ridiculous process of transferring my nursing license to NH (again, major tummy butterflies on how *real* this is all becoming!).

Within an hour, I was contacted by their nurse recruiter requesting a phone interview!! Holy cow! We haven't set up a time yet due to phone tag (I worked W, Th, & Fr), but it looks like the ball is rolling... and picking up speed... Ahh! lol

Some prayers would be appreciated that all of this works out in His timing. It seems like everything is falling into place so far, so we're trying to just let go & let God as they say. I'm excited, and admittedly really nervous, to see where all of this takes us!
