It's official... We're moving (again!)

Well, as many of you might know we have had a large turn of events in the last few months! Steve's job has been a roller coaster lately! It has been a week to week possibility that he might not even have a job! During all of this we conemplated moving to central Oregon to be close to my family and live what we call 'the simpler life.' I ended up applying for a couple RN postitions but after the largest healthcare employer announced that they were affected by the economy and in a 'hiring freeze.... I figured it was a sign that we weren't suppose to move.

Then... a week ago I got a call that I was invited to an interview at Bend Memorial Clinic urgent care, during the interview they asked me to help write new protocols for faster patient care and aid in some admin decisions/implementations. I pretty shocked since I am still considered a 'young' nurse- but I put a lot of thought into it and everything started falling into place! Right before I left for my interview Steve's job offered him a secure position in another department where he will be working from home everyday- so here we are getting ready to move to Bend :)

For the time being we are going to move into one of my grandparent's rental properties in Prineville until we figure out what to do with our home in Vancouver. Right now our plan is to keep our home and rent it out... we got our house for a great interest rate and hope to keep it as an investment and or somewhere we can come back to if we have to.

I know this is a LOOOONG story, but a lot has happened for our family in the last month and we hope this will bring a new beginning for our family. We are excited to expose Carson to things I got to do as a child like: fishing, riding atv's, riding horses and living life at a slower pace :)
