The Traveling Kind

If you're looking for me after February 18th, you can find me belly up at the $5 blackjack tables downtown! 😆 Yep! That's right, we're headed back out west for my next assignment at Sunrise Children's Hospital in Las Vegas. Then, booking it back outta there before the heat settles in. We've LOVED getting to spend so much time with our family and friends. Some we haven't spend considerable time with in  a couple years. Leaving Texas always comes with sadness but we're so excited for our next adventure. Since we've been to Las Vegas before we're going to do our best to get out and do things we didn't get to do before. Things on the must-see list of Vegas 2.0 include Seven Magic Mountains, Lake Mead Recreational Area, Hoover Dam (I know, how did we miss this the first time?!), Valley of Fire State Park, Death Valley, maaaaayybe Zion National Park, and taking advantage of all the BLM lands! I hope 3 months is long enough to fit all this in! I'...

Hot diggity dang, y'all! I'm so excited I can't wait another minute to share! This morning I had a phone interview for my next assignment and knew before I got off the phone that I got the job. I am more than happy to announce that we're headed back to San Diego for my next contract! I loved San Diego so much that I actually cried, right there on the beach on our last day there. I love all the people I met there, I love the unit, and I love, Love, LOVE all of its beautiful beaches. I'm counting down the seconds till we leave our lovely little desert spot and head for the lush green mountains of Sahn Diahgo. I have so many amazing memories. It's hard to believe it's been over 4 years since we left. We're coming back So Cal!! (Maybe on the way there I'll magically lose 50 pounds and gain the ability to run 13.1 miles...we'll see...I'll let y'all know how it goes. It's a 6 hour drive after all. Haha!) We'll be stopp...

Since before we got to Idaho we had friends telling us we just had to go to Boise. A couple of people even compared it to Austin (that was a bit of a stretch😬). So we put it at the top of our list and and we booked our Airbnb. When I say 'we' I mean Ryan and when I say 'Airbnb" I mean yurt. When he sent me the page the yurt was beautiful and seemed fun at the time so I immediately said yes. Just FYI for those looking into staying in a yurt...there are no bathrooms in a yurt. Therefore you must trek outside in sub 40 degree weather across the yard and into the far back of a garage in the dark, or at least we had to. I'm sure not all yurts are created equal. After 4 hours of driving we finally arrived in Boise around lunchtime. We had a delicious lunch at Bittercreek Alehouse and then walked around the 8th Street area.
