We're moving!

After much prayer and consideration, and with mixed emotions, we have decided to move back to Oregon. There are a lot of factors that play into this decision, which I wont go into great detail about, but it became official about a week ago. Our plan is to move to the Canby area. It will be great to live close to our families again (which is something that we have really missed!).

I have accepted an RN position at Emanuel Hospital in Portland where I used to work. I basically got the job back that I left- in the Pediatric Resource Pool, supporting PICU, NICU, and Peds.

I must say, we have really enjoyed living in the Boise area, and will miss it. It didn't take us long at all to consider it 'home'. We love the weather, and the lack of traffic, chaos, and rain! I've really enjoyed working in the PICU here, and have learned so much. We've met a lot of great people and have made some life-long friends that we will look forward to coming back to visit. There are so many things we still haven't gotten to do here, so we have decided to make Idaho our vacation spot.
So what now?
My last day at St. Lukes Hospital in Boise will be January 26th. I will get about a week off, then Kaitlyn and I will fly to Portland on February 4th, and I will begin my orientation. Until we officially move (which looks to be sometime in March), I will fly back and forth for work. That's the part that I am really not looking forward to... being away from my family for a week at a time! Hopefully, it will only be twice and we will be done with the move.
