1) We were living out of our suitcases until our stuff was shipped out here. The pod came about a week later along with our car so we are now in the process of unloading our stuff and basically putting it all into storage until we find a more permanent situation.
2) We bought a new car!! We were both laughing about our choice in vehicle because at the beginning of our relationship, we owned a convertible Mustang and a Ford Explorer and now all we care about is gas prices and how many MPG's our cars get. So we are now the proud owners of two Toyota Yaris's! Who cares about looking cool when you've got the speed of a Toyota, right? Haha. The new car is my little commuter car, since I have to do a lot of traveling with my new job. It's a hatchback so no, we didn't buy two totally identical cars....
3) I started my new job! Well, the training and orientation part at least. I've been a Nephrology Nurse since graduation so I already have the job down, it's just the new laws and policies/procedures that come along with working in a new state that I have to learn about. So as you can imagine, it hasn't been too exciting. But I'm really feeling like I'm going to like the new switch from Chronic Kidney Failure to Acute Kidney Failure. It's a whole new world of problems and possibilities for my patients and I can't wait to learn and grow some more in my chosen field!
4) The next big thing on our to do list is to buy a house. We have started looking around the Henderson and Summerlin areas and have gotten really excited about all the possibilities and choices ahead of us!
5) Baby has been doing great during all of this chaos. Thank goodness the second trimester has been a million times better than the first, or I would be praying for death right now. I just can't imagine trying to sart a new job and moving across the country again with how sick I was. So God has definitely been looking out for me!
6) We have been so lucky to have so much love and support through this big transition. Both of our families are amazing and we love them so much. My family has been so generous to let us stay with them until we find a house to buy and we have loved getting to spend more time with them than we have in a long time. We also have awesome friends that we have loved being close to again and can't wait for all the fun times in store. Last night we drove to Henderson and hung out with my best friend Jura and her husband. We had a blast talking and catching up in their new beautiful home and laughing so hard we cried during our buffet dinner. I seriously haven't laughed that hard in a long time and it was so nice to feel that happy again. Yet another testament to us that we are right where we belong :).
7) Josh has been hard at work with job interviews and applications. The situation isn't ideal but we have faith that something will come along soon. We are so grateful that I make enough with my job to support us so Josh doesn't have to panic too badly about everything. Like I said before, we have come to the realization that our life is in God's hands and he obviously brought us here for a reason so there's no point in worrying about tomorrow.
8) And then there was our Super Bowl party! As you can see we had a ton of fun! Since Josh is a HUGE 49'ers fan he has lots of jerseys and shirts but sadly it was all packed away for the move so we didn't have any clothes to wear to show our support for San Francisco but we cheered loud and ate wayyyy too much food to make up for it :).
