New Year, New location

It is so interesting to continually wait in anticipation for what the Lord might due next in your life... James and I feel like perpetual change is good because it has definitely been our married life thus far!!  After River left us, we decided that an earlier move than expected was in order - so we have since moved for the 4th time since we got married to Martin, TN in early jan partly due to my rotation locations.  It is by far the smallest house either of us have lived in, we had to sell basically our entire house in McKenzie at a local flea market (that was quite the experience, I discovered how horrible at bargaining I am and how small town Niceville is NOT) and stuff everything into an efficiency apartment.
We now we sit every night on a love seat, shoulders touching with no room but lots of love. Yes Callie the 100lb German shephard is here with us too - she has her own dog bed as big as our couch...she's not spoiled at all

I think about these times and how much we will treasure the little moments and the closeness we have - the funny stories about the cramped house in Martin! We have learned so much about life, love, each other, grief, joy in the time I have called our "Nomad" years - it has been a blessing to both of us but quite the adventure.

Currently I have started my rotation year and have been in family practice for 7 weeks now.  Clinical year is so much better than the didactic school year so far - Never thought I could forget how to talk to people but I struggled the first few days with putting my thoughts into words! I had been stuck with my nose in a book for so long, common conversation was difficult! I since have become better and am thoroughly enjoying the people that I care daily-- makes me love my chosen profession more every day! So excited for May 2012 when I will officially be done!

James and I have had amazing news since my last post.  Through darkness comes light, I believe it every day - James will be relocating back to Niceville, Florida in late April  to start his dream job! We couldn't be happier - he was so patient this year with me and helping me obtain my degree, I couldn't help but be so excited about the thought of him starting his own desired career path.  Yes if you are wondering that means that we will be seperated beginning in May but hopefully I will be able to move down in November to finish my optional rotations in the Niceville/Panhandle area! I have missed the sunshine and great people - and can't WAIT to come home.  When you are away - you long for it more - and I am homesick as they come!  Prayers will definetly be appreciated through the change, but I will keep you updated :)

Life changes constantly and nothing can be anticipated, so as believers we must listen close and watch for the signs of God moving within our lives.  The challenge is saying yes - accepting the next move and being confident in what God has in store for you.  Blessings friends - Peace and Love
