I'm coming home!

Hey friends!

Just sharing some news that I have another trip to Florida planned in a couple weeks. This move has been a little overwhelming and since I do not have a job yet, I figure what better time than now? I am hoping the job thing pans out soon, and no telling what my schedule will be like after that, so I'll take advantage of this now. I am entering my third week here in the Boat, and not having routine is making it a little hard to adjust for me. I am telling myself it was this way when we first moved to Colorado as well and it just takes time. Mostly, I like to work. I may complain about it at times, but it gives me purpose. I do not think I could ever be a stay at home wife or mother. I give credit to those who can, but personally I don't like so much time to myself. I am a nurse, therefore I'm wired to serve others. I have been emailing places about volunteer work, but haven't heard much back yet. We joined the gym and bought season passes to the rodeo. I have no problem entertaining myself on the weekends. That is when Arni is off and there are endless things to do here. During the week is when I really start getting antsy. I think if we ever get to move into the house I'll keep busy with unpacking, but until that happens, its blogging, hiking, spending time at the barn and with my animals. I'm sure at some point I'll look back and say 'Was I crazy? What a lovely time off I had!' Anyway, the job market for nurses is pretty slim here. there is exactly one position open at the hospital and I applied for it back in April. Other than that I applied to two nursing-like jobs. Meaning not exactly nursing positions, but nursing background is helpful, so we will see. At least it will be something, until what I am looking for comes up. On other news, Arni is living his dream life! He has a great job, short commute, and has a farm to play on everyday. He comes home everyday after work and goes straight to work on the farm, although if you ask him it's not work but pure fun. My horses seem so happy on all this land. There is so much pasture, that I can throw hay out and they would rather eat the grass. We have been on one trail ride since moving here and I'm hoping to meet someone to ride with so I can get them out more. I'll conclude with a couple pictures from this past week.
