The week started off with total chaos. I got the job offer on Saturday for Maryland and accepted. So Monday I started the to do list. My recruiter previously said all the stuff could take a week or so to do. I got it done all in one day. Go me. Why though? Because the hospital wanted me to start Wed. So I got everything done, packed up clothes and such.... which, thanks to the weather changing so much right now, I had to pack for spring/winter/summer conditions. Suitcase is HEAVY! I hit the road Tues morning, and got here to my home for the next 6 weeks in a suite at a hotel. I got a call from my recruiter that the hospital orientation has been moved to MONDAY instead of Wed. My recruiter was gonna have the hospital cover my hotel expenses since this was their delay. Surprise...they suddenly could get me in for orientation on Thursday (today). What a whirlwind. But, was glad to have the extra day off to relax. Plus.....there is a MASSIVE outlet store 2 miles down the interstate. Woot! I walked about 1/4 of it and didn't even go in a fraction of the stores I walked past. It was a gorgeous day too! Plus Wed a.m. I was having trouble getting out of bed. It is sooo big and comfy and the pillows rock. I have accomplished the unthinkable.. I have discovered how to take up the ENTIRE king size bed??? lol. I mean...sprawled out...
I drove around yesterday and discovered some of this gorgeous town!! And within a 2 minute drive towards the country, discovered the Pennsylvania state line?!?! Waahhhatt?? Totally didn't realize I was THAT close to the state line! lol. I really enjoyed the day, was awesome. I felt so.... free???? The town really is pretty though and I cannot wait until my partner in crime is here (like how I'm leading up to my news????) so I can let him drive and let me take pictures!! Even found a music studio downtown. It's got some soon to be blooming trees outside, so I'm sure that in the next little bit that will make for some perfect pictures. Even found a road sign that read "look left. look right. then pull out". Ok, yes I may be a little immature. I'm totally ok with that... but I HAVE to have a picture of this road sign!! LOL!!! That's total birth control EPIC FAIL! LOL!! :)
Today was my first day on my assignment. The hospital and medical facility are HUGE! It just opened in December. It's state of the art and is simply beautiful. Everyone for the most part was really nice. I got my schedule and it rocks! Hello every weekend off!! Perfect for current plans, and future plans that include exploring the Nation's capital with my love (like that..another hint...) and I'm sure some speedways (insert rolling eyes here??? lol). What is it about cars going in circles that is sooo appealing?? Wayne and my dad have been driving me NUTS when I've been looking at assignments.... very quick to inform me what race tracks are nearby. Nuts in a good way though. Of course I'll never admit that... or did I just admit it anyways?
And it's not just at the hospital where people seem nice. Everywhere I've been.... shops, restaurants, the hotel I'm living in, etc, etc... everyone just seems... nice! I was watching an episode of How I met your mother the other day... and there was a quote (which I am failing at finding the EXACT quote....so I will paraphrase.... "have you ever been somewhere you've never been before but feel like you are exactly where you are suppose to be?" Granted, I am not saying I feel like my destiny is to live the rest of my life in Hagerstown, but I certainly do feel that I am here for a reason and that this is part of the plan for my life. And considering how everything keeps falling into place, it makes me smile.
I've done some soul searching and feel like more than ever I know what I want and need in my life. And as part of that soul searching (for the first time ever in my blog...EVER... I am about to get religious...) I have began praying more often. And 2 weeks ago in the middle of a prayer one night, I decided to turn everything to god. I decided that I was simply not going to worry about my life (career, personal, love, etc) and I would simply put it all in his hands and allow him to lead and guide me to where I need to be. Since then, I have not been stressed about certain things, and I haven't been worried. I have more clarity about so many things that I never had before. Next thing you know, I have a job, a new place to go, money from UK that came a month early (even though I was told it was IMPOSSIBLE for it to be approved before the end of May!), and a few other very personal things in my life. And did I mention I am completely off ANYTHING to help me sleep???? No ambien. No herbs. Nothing. Then, (and here's the secret news) today I got an email from my love that the things we've been trying to work on are gonna happen. Wayne has been approved time off work and will be here in Maryland with me, and in my arms... in 8 days for three whole weeks together. And wouldn't you know it, the flights were booked this morning, and this afternoon I got my schedule. And guess what? The night that he lands they already had me off that night and the next night (which is a Fri night and Sat night). We get to view the capital together, attend our first 7m3 concert as a couple, and attend a dear friends wedding as a couple. All the things that the miles has robbed us of... we are taking back. Hopefully he can get some things taken care of too job wise.....and hopefully the next time we part (IF I let him leave...) will be the last time ever.
I'm so ready to start the forever part of...well..forever.
