Lee was promoted!!! He has worked so incredibly hard and definitely deserves this new position. He keeps saying that it was possible because I've been in Houston {and he's been able to put in extra hours}. The extra hours may have gotten him there faster, but he is such a brain when it comes to breaking down the mechanics of a business {hey I get to brag about my husband sometimes}. His new location is in the small town of Granbury, Texas. It takes him about an hour to drive there from our house, but it is a pretty easy drive and he enjoys the time to transition from home to work and work to home {or so he says now after driving for 2 weeks}. Speaking of drive, this new position comes with a car. We're probably the talk of the neighborhood! Lee drives a different car home each night that sits in our driveway. I can only imagine what people think. Lee took me to see his new town last weekend and I was IMPRESSED! His store is really nice, the town is beautiful, and there are tons of things to do! I told our families that the town takes the best parts of Gruene, Rockport, and Georgetown and combines them into one beautiful package! I can't wait to spend more time there with Lee.
After this week it should all be smooth sailing until May 10, 2011 @ 7p. I should find out if I get the dream job I mentioned before at the end of this week {hopefully}. I'm having nightmares about NOT getting it....that is how much I want it. Oh, I forget, nothing has been said about the job. OK so in a nutshell, it is a trauma and critical care internship. It gets me ACLS certified (an advanced certification for life support basically), I'd be a CCRN (a special designation for nurses in critical care that requires additional coursework), and get graduate school credit during the program. It lasts 7-8 months with a 2.5 - 3 year contract. Oh my goodness I want this so bad. I keep going over every little thing in the interview. Things I wish I had said, things I wish I had said differently, things I should have clarified.......it is out of my hands at this point.
Something Lee and I have relied on very strongly over the past two years or so is that God has a plan for US. He has always taken care of us, and promises to continue. We have always known this, but I guess getting older and rocking our little worlds with a few changes really made us appreciate it.

Nat and I met @ Village Burger Bar after my interview for dream job and also a few hours after the earthquake. We had a really fun day together even though we were both a little worried about Shelley and exhausted from being up the night before.
