Are We There Yet?

After much deliberation Drew and I finally decided to move to the front range. The job in Durango would have been great but the town was a little too small, a little too touristy, and a lot too far away. So today we left my parents and the trailer and drove back to Big Bird in Colorado Springs. We are so sick of the car! It took us 5 ½ hours to get here and we were so tired of driving that we almost didn’t care about all the amazing scenery we drove by- Sand Dunes National Park and the Sangre De Cristo Range. Thank goodness for Red Bull and Gummy Bears. We finally made it back to civilization and are so happy to be in immobile housing. We plan to stay with Sean for a couple days while we line up some rental houses to see in Boulder and Ft Collins. The great thing about the job I took is that we can live anywhere between these two towns. I’ll be doing house calls and seeing patients at different assisted living facilities and nursing homes in Longmont, Ft Collins, Loveland, and Greeley. The job has great hours, no weekends, no holidays, and no call! I’m really looking forward to taking care of a patient population that is often forgotten and neglected and also to having a great work-life balance. And since we have so much flexibility with where we can live Drew will have more opportunities in his job hunt. We’re so excited to find a house to live in, meet new people, and have a real life again!
