hopefully fall means turning over a new leaf

So, I it's definitely safe to say that I am an terrible-awful-no-good-very-bad BLOGGER. I let months of time whiz by with not even a fleeting thought of actually sitting down to write something. Not even posting pictures. I mean, some stuff has definitely happened and I have some pictures to prove it. If I remember correctly, I've broached this subject before and maybe even suggested that I should do better about blogging. Alas, nothing has changed. I read other blogs, and I very much enjoy it. Don't care to write in mine though. 

Moving on, It might be best now that we are seeing less and less of family and friends to try and keep this a little more on the updated side with whats going on in the day-to-day. So here goes, in a nut shell, a recap of whats gone on since March 15th, 2013.

Hubby and I both turned 25. Woohoo, quarter of a century down. 

I interviewed and was offered a job at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville TN on March 26th. I accepted. 

We found a house to rent, 35 miles away from work :( but with a lovely yard and neighborhood for us to enjoy. And for Meah to enjoy also. 

Meah? Who's Meah you ask? She is our fluffy girl. Our loving and energetic german shepherd that we also got in late March of this year. She was 12lbs when we got her, she's 70lbs now! Although she is still definitely puppy in age and spirit, she is way to big to be called a puppy.

April was a complete blur. Packing, 2 weeks notice at East GA Regional Medical Center, goodbyes :( Lots and lots of boxes. Boxes Everywhere. 

May 1 2013 - Crystal, Meah and I loaded up her Jeep, hitched up an overly full U-haul trailer and hit the road for 7 hours of white knuckled, teeth clenched driving to Nashville. (Seriously, if I never pulled a trailer again, it would be too soon). 
I must add that Crystal was awesome and a life saver. She was such a hard worker, trying to help us get settled in our new place. She was up for anything and had no problem walking up to complete strangers and asking for some help with some of the heavy lifting. Love her. 

Between May 1st and May 5th, my mom, Duane's parents, Duane and Garrett all arrived to help finish off the unloading and unpacking that had to be done.

May 6th I went to work at a new job, on a new unit, in a new city where I knew no one. Eekkk!

Wow, I'm exhausted just writing about all of those things. God definitely laid out the path for us to go to Nashville,TN. He provided the job and the house and the help, all we had to do was step out in faith. It wasn't easy. It's still not easy. But (hopefully) I'll explain more later. 

Cas :)
