The Traveling Kind

Well, I guess we've been having so much fun in San Diego the blog has fallen to the wayside. Actually, I know we've been having fun because for the first three months we were here we had friends and family visiting us every other week! That sure makes time go by fast and doesn't allow too much time for tipee-typing on the ol' keyboard. We've done a billion and a half things! It's going to be hard to only give the Reader's Digest version. San Diego is one of our favorite cities. I sat on the beach and cried my eyes out the morning we left the last time. The weather is always perfect. Even during dreary 'May gray' and 'June gloom' the temps are still superb even if the sun's not shining. There are more than 150 breweries in the San Diego area, not including all the wineries and distilleries. They even make high ABV kombucha here! Ha! I'm gonna have to get my hands on that before we leave. Don't even get me started on the food. The...

So naturally, instead actually applying for New York licensure I decided I should blog instead. Wait...what?!?! Yep! You heard (read?) me correctly! WE'RE HEADED TO NEW YORK CITY !!! Holy dang, I'm so excited and so nervous. Yeah, LA was big and all but it was so spread out and the little suburb we lived in kept it feeling small town, if that's even possible in LA. New York City, specifically Manhattan, is, like, a real city. Where people walk to get to places and shopping centers go up and not out. --OMG. Side note: I just realized that I'm going to get to see the Statue of Liberty!! WHAT?!-- We always talked about wanting to go to NYC but I guess I never thought we'd get there in reality. There are so many things on my to do list! I hope three months is enough time! Kelly and Michael, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, SNL, Jimmy Fallon, and the TODAY Show!! I won't technically know exactly where we'll be living until a week before we move in but ...

Welp, we made it back into the great state of Texas. I know it's been a while, and yes, we're all still alive. Transitioning to a new place is pretty hard and at least for the first few weeks lots of time is dedicated to getting to know our new area and my new hospital. OUR PLACE is way bigger than our last few spots and it's only 1.5 miles from my hospital. Being back in Texas certainly has it's perks, like a bigger apartment, free covered parking, and cheaper groceries! Whoop! Oh...and Blue Bell...Lord, have mercy on me, the Blue Bell. I lost count of how many pints I've eaten all by myself at number 7. I'm not proud, but it happened and it's out in the open now so I must move on and try to do better! Haha! I'm not proud, but I'm not sorry. Pearl likes the new apartment too, especially the low windows. MY HOSPITAL is seriously the biggest hospital I've worked for. It's 19 stories!! Of sick kids!! Holy cow it's so stin...
