Paths

Has it really been almost a year since I posted anything on here?  Wow.

Clearly, I have slipped back into my bad habit of not posting...which really shouldn't be that much of a surprise, since I tend to have this lapse on a fairly regular basis.

Anywho...this past year has been pretty interesting, and we have had many ups and downs, and shifts, and pulls in different directions.

Over the course of the year, Bruce completed his internship, finished his undergrad degree, job hunted, interviewed, and hunted some more.  There were many trips to Boise for interviews and some of them looked promising.

At one point in May, we contemplated making a leap to move to Boise, for all of the opportunities for work in that area, however, things kept getting in the way of those plans...royally. And it became painfully evident that a move to Boise was not in the cards for us, but we did not know why.

So we stayed in Pocatello, continuing the job hunt in Southeast Idaho, and there were a few promising interviews with one of the hospitals in Idaho Falls.  During this time, he had continued to work for the clinic that he did his internship with, as a part-time employee, and in October, they approached him with an offer to keep him on full-time, which he took.

At the end of October, we also stumbled across a listing for a charming little house here in Pocatello, and we immediately fell in love with it, put an offer down, and had the offer accepted less than half an hour later, and then one month later, we moved in!  We are so happy with our new home, and love that we have a space for Cooper to run around, and for us to call our own.

While the past year may not have taken us down the paths that we originally planned, we could not be happier with where we have ended up!
