So fresh and so clean!


WHEW! What a whirlwind couple of weeks this has been!

We are finally all moved in and settled in Panama City Beach. We LOVE our new house, and I can't wait to post pictures of it, but I can't do that just now. I'll update later and let you see. :) I'm getting used to the city as well. I've never stayed down here longer than a week at a time, so I really think it will be a blast for us until Kerry starts school.

Both of our parents came down with us last Saturday to help move the furniture and such. We couldn't have accomplished such a task without them! Mom has stayed with me since then to help hang curtains and pictures, and Kerry has gone back to work in Montgomery for the week. He'll be back in PCB with me on Wednesday, and we'll have a week together to finish up the little nit-picky things that need doing.

I've applied for jobs at 3 different places now, so please pray someone accepts me! We really need it for the health insurance in particular. Oh and some income would be nice as well (haha).

I took Otis to the beach for the first time on Wednesday. I think he hated it! He's not much for water anyway, but every time a wave would come up he would bark at it and try to bite it! SO cute and funny. I have a video of it, but it would only hurt your ears, so I won't post it. :)

Headache update: the 2nd MRI was good. No cervical syrinx was noted, which is a definite plus for this situation. I have an appointment in Birmingham with a neruosurgeon Tuesday morning...not real sure what that will accomplish, and it's a LONG drive from PCB, but I'll let you know what she says. I have actually felt better the past couple of days with my new meds, so we'll see how this turns out!

Almost there!


We are roughly a week away from the big move to PCB! The last couple of months flew by so fast. Now we have boxes and clothes thrown all over the place in this cute little house we've called home for just over a year. BUT, we're moving to an equally cute home in a place we both have always wanted to live, so maybe we'll enjoy it even more! I'm still on the job hunt even though I'm licensed in Florida now. Please pray that I find something soon! It's a daunting feeling knowing I will be the sole income provider over the next couple of years. We do have savings, but we'd rather not touch those, and we will have loans to help, but that's just more debt. At least my car is paid for! Kerry's should be soon, as well.


My last day of work at Chilton Medical Center is this coming Wednesday! SO SAD about that. I have met some awesome people, and I love them all. My time with them was too short, but we knew it would be a possibility. I can only hope that I will find another "dream job" like I have there someday down the line. I don't have much faith in that, though. ;)


An update on the headache thing...

As most of you probably know, I've been suffering from pretty rough headaches for nearly 6 weeks. After a really bad spell last Sunday night, I went to a neurologist on Thursday and had an MRI of my head. Still don't know the results yet, but the doctor seemed positive it was a fairly common case of migraine headaches with a bit of an odd presentation (in that they've not gone away for more than a couple of hours in over a month and no medication is touching it). Please continue to remember me during this frustrating time period.


I'm going with my Jenny today for her bridal portraits! So exciting! She's less than a month away from her wedding now, so I'm getting nervous with her. Chris is an AWESOME match for her, and I wish them tons of happiness. :)


I'll post some things after the move and show off the new nest.


Peace.
