Preparing, Visiting and Interviewing

Wow. It's been crazy busy.
Last Monday (Memorial Day) we went up to Stephenville
(which is about 2 hours North West of Austin- no one seems to know where we are going!)

to finalize plans on the rental house, visit with friends and I had an interview at the local hospital on Tuesday.

The house:

Oddly dated on the inside, compared to it's exterior.
It's ok.

Hopefully, it won't be so bad once we get our stuff in and settled.

Nonetheless, we could be in an apartment or under an overpass. And, it's only for a year.

Friends:

We never doubted that either Emmy or Wes would have trouble making new friends; but it is a relief to know that they already have instant friends in our friends' kids.

On Memorial Day evening, our gracious hosts grilled burgers and hot dogs and the kids had a blast in the baby pools.

I don't know what makes me happier...the Buddha belly or the rouge butt cheek

Fun in the sun <3

Not pictured, is Weston, fully clothed, shoes and all in the pool.

The Interview:
I am excited to say that my interview went well and I was offered a PRN position (per diem) with potential of evolving into part/full time.

I'll still be in the OR, but not doing Trauma.
I'm not terribly sad to say goodbye to the traumas, the reconstructive plastics and neurosurgery. Definitely thrilled not to have to do hearts anymore!

It's a small OR, but they mean business.
I'm excited. AND it's ~5min from our rental house! 

I start orientation on June 18th.
