Things are looking up

I am so much better at reading other people's blogs than writing my own. A clever excuse would be "I have been too busy living my life to write about it." It would be partially true. But, mostly I have been lazy and so super busy working -- not really living so much as I would like.

So much has happened since my last post, I am not sure where to begin. I went back home to Ohio for a vacation and to do some interviewing. And, as a result, I was given multiple job offers. I weighed all the options and chose one. I am very happy with my decision and I just know that I have made the right choice. I will be moving back to Ohio in November. I will be about half way between my mom and Katelyn's dad.

My call schedule will be much better - only one day in four and one weekend per month. AND, once they hire another partner (which should be around the time I start), I will have one day off per week. One day to spend with my daughter doing fun "stay at home mom" type activities-- minus the cleaning. It will be the one day I skip the housework and other minutia if possible and try to just live. In addition, I will get a raise, which definitely does not hurt given the fact that over the past few years I have gotten into a small hole. Particularly since I was out of work for two weeks last fall.

I was approved to sit for the boards and coincidentally was approved to take them in the same city where I will be living. And today I got the best news yet - I got my Ohio license!!! I didn't have to jump through fifty hoops like I did last time, which is spectacular. Praise God!

We dropped the price of our house for the millionth time and over the past few weeks we have shown the house over 10 times. I am praying for an offer in the next month. I have faith that it will sell in August.

On a slightly different note, Katelyn and I have been eating at Panda Express once a week (Chinese) and twice now in the past three weeks I have gotten fortunes in my cookie implying that I will be coming into a fortune (one actually said so, the other that a "windfall" would be coming my way). Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket:)

Katelyn is currently with her daddy and Abuelita. I should be studying, so I am off. But I will leave a cute pic of Katelyn playing dress up... I love being the mommy of a sweet little princess!
