Last Few Weeks on the Island!

I have not blogged as much over the past months. I think it's because I have finally realized that my time on the island is coming to an end. It seems like ever since Mom and Blake left, that they took my soul with them, and I have just been so ready to go home ever since. We have less than 4 weeks left, and I have tried to find reasons for me to change my ticket date and fly home early! I am really tired of just having nothing to do..this may sound funny to some people, but seriously having no job for almost 2 years is really starting to get to me. I feel like I went to college, got a degree, and then did nothing with it. I am ready to actually put my brain to good use! I am so ready to move to New York. I am really looking forward to all of the amenities that I have had to live without for 2 years while being abroad. I am looking forward to actually having our own furniture, dishes, cookware, stuff, king size bed, and all of my clothes and shoes (not just what I can fit in a suitcase)! I am ready to be in a place where I can actually buy something to decorate with, and not have to worry about not being able to take it with me when we move. I can picture Cody, Macy, and me on a rainy weekend in New York, curled up on our couch with blankets and hot chocolate watching a good movie..that seems like heaven to me! I will be glad to finally be in a place where there are actually seasons. In England we had one season: COLD, WET, and CLOUDY! In Grenada we had one season: HOT! I am trying my best to get through the last few weeks, so I can get home to start our new life. I am keeping myself busy with lots of exercising (I have actually lost some weight and toned up quite a bit, which I'm very proud of). I really don't have many new pictures to post, but I do have some new ones of Macy that always make me smile!


Macy was being so funny in this picture..Cody was taking pictures of me, and Macy kept getting in the pictures like she wanted her picture taken, so she sat still and posed while I took her picture :)


Laying on the balcony..One of her favorite past times!


Chewing on a raw hide while laying on a pillow..She's too much of a princess to lay on the floor..haha!

Next Destination: Brooklyn, New York

We got our placement for Cody's two years of rotations on Friday. He got placed at the Long Island College Hospital (aka LICH) that is in Brooklyn, NY. I am so excited! We knew that we were more than likely headed to New York, but this just makes things a little more official. I have been job searching like crazy for the past few weeks. I have applied to any and all jobs out there! I really don't care what I do (ok maybe I'm exaggerating a bit), but I'm just so ready to have a job. After two years of not working, it is time for me to step into the real work world. I know that Cody's clinical years will be challenging, but I really feel like this move is more of a challenge for me than it is for him. I mean if you think about it, I'm the one that's going out on my own into the fascinating work field of New York..it's kind of scary! Especially when I'm not even from the Northeast! Cody will be safely in the hospital that SGU provided for him..he's guaranteed a position, and I'm not, especially with so many people out of work. Hopefully I will hear something back from some of these people that I'm sending resumes to. It's just so difficult when I am in Grenada, so they can't contact me by phone. I have to depend soley on email. I will be so glad to be back in the States, which will make it a little easier. I still think the sooner we get to New York, the easier it will be for me to actually get a job, b/c then I will be able to go to job fairs and interviews. It's such a mess. I have to remember that it's all in God's hands, and it will work out the way he wants it to! As of now, we only have 4 1/2 weeks left on this island until we come home for our break. We're not exactly sure how long we will be home this time, but Cody takes his USMLE towards the beginning of July, so sometime after that we will be New York bound!
