Moving North!

After nearly 2 months of searching, Seth is employed again! We are so excited. God really does work in mysterious ways-- we had been discussing where we should end up, and then Seth's contract ended, so we started applying in Charleston and Norfolk-- Norfolk won! Seth has found employment and will begin his new position on April 15th. We are so thankful and blessed to have families that have supported us on this journey. :-) We came up to visit, and are now leaving with a job for Seth--
just like last time he was unemployed!

We're going to be celebrating by going out to dinner, checking out Fort Sumter, and in general being tourists in our own town (well, while it is our town). Rosie will be staying with me-- she's going to have a bit of culture shock between Seth living up here in Norfolk and me having 10 hour days! Poor Rosie is not going to be thrilled.Seth will be living with his parents for now, and we'll find a place of our own once I graduate! It's hard to believe there are so many changes coming to our lives in such a short time. :-)

I got a blue one, Seth a black!
We're so thankful for the love and support of our families, and we look forward to this next chapter. The in-between pages of being apart aren't the best, but my parents actually helped us find a way to get through it-- they surprised us with new iPod touches so we can use the Facetime application to keep in touch!!!

I start my next rotation on the 15th-- we finally cleared up the not-so-small matter of identity theft that occurred, and I'm so thankful that it's over with. I am STOKED to be starting my pediatric outpatient rotation-- I'll learn so, so, so much. I now know I'll start job hunting in Norfolk! I'm going to be studying for Boards while I'm here in Charleston-- it's going to be a lot of work but TOTALLY worth it to begin the job I've been called to. I absolutely love occupational therapy! My last rotation was ah-maz-ing, and I know the next one will be, too.
