The Move is Over

Well the last week and a half have been very busy!  We have finally moved and are kind of settled into our temporary home.  We spent a lot of time cleaning, organizing and packing.  After sorting through all of our belonging we came up with a decent number of items to donate.  This is only part of our donation pile! 


It was definitely bittersweet to say goodbye to the home we had shared for the last 3 years.  But Sunday morning we left our keys behind and drove away.  It was very difficult to say goodbye to my friends.  I have worked as a home health speech therapist for the past 3 years and some of the families I worked with have become very dear and wonderful friends.  I will miss seeing them on a weekly bases and watching the children I worked with grow and develop.   


I am looking forward to the future.  We have made out move.  Packed all our belongings into a 26' truck (which I drove!!)  Here was my ride.  All in all I have to say all the stress I felt about drive the truck was for nothing.  It drove really well and even though I had 26' of truck behind me, both the truck and I made it safely to our destination.  


Now I am starting my new job.  I had my first day today and what a change it will be.  Working with adults in a nursing home is completely different from my little children.  Hopefully I will check on quickly...

On the Way to getting our Home

Well we received some information from our realtor yesterday about our possible future home and I am now cautiously optimistic that we will be closing on our First Home at the end of next month!!

Now the next week and a half of our lives will be filled with organizing, packing and cleaning!

Start of Our New Adventure


I have never written a blog before, but thought it would be fun.  I got married 7 1/2 months ago to my wonderful husband Chris and that started my Life as a Brave!

Since getting married my husband and I have been living in Orlando, he graduated with his Master's in Environmental engineering and I continued working at my current job as a home health speech pathologist.  About 2 months ago we decided I would look for a new job in south florida (since that is where I'm originally from) and our new adventure begins...

I am starting my new job in two weeks at a nursing home in Stuart, FL (this will be a big change for me since I'm used to working with children everyday!) Along with trying to pack up our house, say good-bye to all of our friends, Chris and I are also trying to buy a house down in Stuart.  Which has meant spending many weekends driving back and forth between Orlando and Stuart.  So the last few months have been just a little hectic to say the least.  We have an offer in on a house which we are hoping will be ours!  But we have already had one contract fall through so we are hoping that this home works out!!
