The Time Karma Got Me Back and Other Stuffs

Well y'all, karma got me back. You remember way back when last week when I ALMOST hit a girl on my bike?? Well, today I was just running along on the boardwalk listening to my music and minding my own business and BAM! I get hit from behind by this guy riding a bike. Now I realize that I ALMOST hit someone while riding a bike BUT I wasn't just riding along a straight, 12 ft wide path where it was just me and the pedestrian. Really. I don't know if he was texting or what but he was going slow enough to not knock me down. So he was either texting or thought it'd be funny to hit the fluffy girl bouncing slowly down the fast side of the right lane. I know, I know slower people to the right. But there's always sand on the right side of the path and that makes it harder to run and more likely for me to slip and fall...I mean, hello! I AM one of the clumsiest people on the planet. Do I need to refer to the last post again? PLUS there are other people that run in the left side of that lane. In conclusion, I've decided my anger against this guy is totally okay and not a double standard at all.

In other news, (I know Ryan's already told y'all but) WE'RE COMING TO TEXAS!! Houston to be exact and I'll be working at Texas Children's Hospital. It definitely feels good knowing I'll be heading home for a few months-and the cool months at that! AND TCH is partnered with my old stomping grounds! In a very distant way I feel like I'll be workin' with all my ol' buddies again. Then to add to all the excitement, Texas Children's is the 4th nationally ranked children's hospital! I'm super stoked to be apart of their team even if it is only for a few months.

This will be the biggest hospital I've worked for!

Side note: We need to start arranging get togethers cause we've got approximately 7 weekends to see as many people as we possibly can! WE MISS YOU GUYS. And of course, even though it's only Houston y'all are always welcome to come stay with us! 

Friday we took Pearl to the beach and she had a great time!! I don't understand how a dog can love playing in the water at the beach but HATE getting a bath. Also, apparently she hates getting her butt sandy. I can't say I blame her.
She can dig in the sand all day but when it comes to sitting-nope, nu uh, not gonna sit in it. Instead she insists on sitting on my feet.

Then Saturday night we went to our old roommates engagement party. We finally got some real photographic evidence that we are friends! Haha.

Friends meet Cait! She's just as fun as she looks! And I'd just like to say that she's making the faces I look like the oblivious dummy who had no idea what was going on and didn't join in, lamesauce.

    Hey! So I'm a PICU nurse too and looking into traveling starting this winter. I'm wondering how hard it is to get good assignments like this one at TCH. I'm used to being at a large, usually ranked high, teaching hospital and am worried I'll never get assignments that come close to it. So happy I found your blog! :) Annie (andrea.jean3@gmail.com)

How To Be a Happy Traveler PART II

Part I was the biggie. Having a positive working experience greatly effects overall satisfaction with travel nursing. In this post I'm going to list a few other things you can do to ensure you have the best possible time seeing the states! HAVE REALISTIC HOUSING EXPECTATIONS You really can't expect to live in luxury housing everywhere you go. In my four assignments I've taken my company's housing 3 times. The first was great! the second was eh, and the third was average. Every apartment we had was safe, clean, and close to the hospital. And to be honest, the second place was probably better than "eh" but the first apartment set high expectations. Those'll get ya. It'll all depends on what city you're in and the cost of living. The cost of living in a "luxury" 2 bedroom apartment in Texas is the same month's rent as a grungy studio in LA (note: we did not live in a grungy studio in LA).

MY FIRST BLOG! EEK!

Oh my gosh y'all it's my first blog!!  I'm so nervous!! What if it's boring?! What if no one reads this!?  If they do, then what if they hate it!?  What if all those grammar nazis call me out on run on sentences and the correct use of there, their, and they're?!  You know what I have to say to you people?  It's probably going happen so I'm just gonna need you to deal with it!...Just kidding, don't hate me please. I've been wanting to start a blog for a while, you know, because I think I'm so interesting the world needs to know what's happening in my life  I think it's a super neat way to get ALL THE THOUGHTS out of my head and it's way better than writing in my anablog aka journal.  (I feel like I've got a lot of run on sentences already...oops...) Also, I can't just sit back and let Ryan have a blog all by himself. I have my own side to our story! From what I've learned from reading and enjoying other blogs, it'

Hello Chi Town!

Ryan and I are officially settled in our new city. We've really lucked out in the weather department so far, I'm hoping it stays that way till January 2nd. Fingers crossed. Everyone here seems to think it's going to get really cold. Haven't they heard about El Nino!? :) Oh. My. Goodness. The move in to Chicago was probably the easiest in my 3 year travel experience. I've started going through a new travel agency and our housing comes fully furnished down to the silverware-without any extra cost to me! If we really wanted to make it easy on ourselves we could've just traveled with our dogs and our suitcases and been just fine. Going with this new company has definitely been a learning curve. I'll cover the pros and cons of large/small travel agencies in another post. I'm definitely likin' the way things are going so far,  but my momma didn't raise no dummy so I'm cautiously optimistic. We spent our first two days here getting to know our a
