BIG NEWS!!!

BIG NEWS!!!

After graduation there were no jobs in Lexington, and Dave and I decided that it would be best if I took a job at St. E (where I had done most of my training) and we would move half way between Lexington and NKY so that we could live together again and both work, without to much of a drive.  We started working on getting our house ready to be sold, and looking for a place in Williamstown, Ky.  Fixing your house to sell, is awful.  Basically all the things you ever wanted to do to your home, you do so someone else can enjoy.  I found a small old farm house to rent and we quickly moved on it so that we could start moving our stuff in so that we could stage our current house better.  

About 2 weeks after we signed the lease St. Joe in Lexington called me and offered me an interview for a CRNA position they would be filling in June.  I decided to take the interview but really was happy at St. E and wasn't sure if I really wanted to switch jobs.  In the weeks leading up to the interview I found out that the house in Williamstown was infested with wolf spiders.  I quit staying there, and moved back in with my parent because I felt I was under attack!  Dave and I decided that it would be best if I got the job in Lexington and we could stay in our Lexington house, therefore all of our home improvement efforts were halted and we were just waiting to see if I got the job.  After the interview I was sold!  I wanted that job so bad!! On top of the fact that Maggie (one of my dearest friends that went through anesthesia school with me) worked there, the rest of the team just seamed delightful.  The other perk was that there was no call!!  I hate call and LOVED the idea of never having to work a call shift again..  The group interviewed 4 people and I was very happy with how my interview went, but was so nervous that I wouldn't get the job. 

With in days of the interview we found out that the Williamstown home was also infested with termites!  Giving us just another reason that we didn't want to stay there anymore.  And of course, just a few days after finding out there were termites, we found out we were pregnant.  Isn't this always how it goes?   Now, more than ever I needed to get this job, so that Dave and I could live together and we could stay in our house in Lexington which had plenty of room  for a family and except for the occasional bug was pretty insect free.  

The only other wrench in the plan is that I found out I was competing for this job with a friend of mine.  I knew she would be such a good asset to their team so I just hoped that they would make an exception and instead of hiring just one of us that they would hire us both. 

After weeks of waiting and waiting I got a phone call and learned that I got the job and they actually decided to hire two people, Cory being the other.  I was ecstatic!!!!   Everything was now falling into place.  Once I got my official contract I broke the news to the St E crew.  Despite the fact that the job in Lexington is just going to work so much better for our lives I am very sad to leave all the people at St. E that have taught me so much.

Now my only hurdle was to finish out my time at St. E and to tell St Joe that I was pregnant.  Yikes!!!
