The biggest change this past month is that I started my job! I absolutely LOVE it. I know that its exactly where I'm supposed to be and I have no doubts that nursing is my calling in life. I'm so thankful for that. Being in the residency program has also been a big blessing because its allowing me to go to classes and learn more about what I'm actually seeing on the unit. I didn't know it was going to be so involved when I first accepted the job, but I'm definitely glad now.
Another big update is that the couple that we are mentoring had their sweet baby girl. Praise God for a healthy baby!!! :)
Cory had summer break for about 10 days this month, and during that time we got to go to San Antonio to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! It was a blast. We stayed at a hotel on Riverwalk so we got to enjoy being in the middle of all the fun, we also went to the Alamo, to Schlitterbahn (an awesome waterpark), and got to explore some beautiful caverns. The best part of our hotel was that it was dog friendly...so Riley got to come along! It was a nice time away and fun to explore another city in Texas. Oh! And Cory got me a super nice camera!!! I was so excited because I've been taking all my pictures with my iPhone and they are not the best quality. Its gonna be nice to have a real camera again!
As soon as we got back from that trip, Cory went to a lake in east Texas with some friends from school. He loved being back on the water, even if it was a lake instead of the beach, so I was glad he got to enjoy that time before going back to school!
He is now in his 2nd semester...and we can already tell that its going to be a lot busier than last semester. Partly because now I am working but also the material that he is learning is going to be a lot more time consuming than the summer semester.
Another huge blessing is that he is now involved in the Christian organization on campus (its the BCM out here)..and he got to meet with the director, who seems really awesome. There are going to be medical mission trips and outreaches to get involved with so thats super exciting. She also had contacts at a pregnancy center that I've been praying about volunteering at..so we'll see how that goes!
Last, but definitely not least, we will be in GAINESVILLE next weekend!!!! Its Cory's birthday and he wanted to see the first game of the season so we decided to make the trip! Its going to be a whirlwind weekend but it will be so worth it :) Also, we got tickets to go to the Texas A&M game so we are going to see the first two games of the season...which we definitely didn't think would be possible! Praise God for the little blessings :)
Please remember us in your prayers!
