2016 has been one strange roller coaster ride for me. I've discovered sides of myself I never even knew existed - the good, the bad and the ugly.
We are currently on the brink of moving and we are entirely at a loss as of what to do. I will spare you the boring details but pretty much our choices consist of play it safe and stick around Utah County, or sacrifice another two years of our lives and live in poverty so Nathan can do two more years of school in Logan.
We visited Logan this past weekend, and while I recognize that Cache Valley is indeed a lovely area I was just NOT getting good vibes from it.
I have nothing against small towns either, mind you. I love small towns and all their charm. I mean hell, Nathan grew up in Driggs, Idaho: population 103.
But as for Logan, I just wasn't feeling it.
All my life I've felt fairly confident in my life choices, but as for what we should do on this matter I am at an utter loss. Totally dumbfounded. Maybe it's because my wants and my better judgement are out of sync, I don't know.
So where we shall live and what Nathan is going to do about either continuing his education further or not is to be determined.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it so let's stop.
In other news it was 'Nurse's Week' this past week. Which really doesn't mean a whole lot, but I did get a bag of various snack foods from my work so I guess that was cool.
My first three months as an LPN have been a real trial by fire, but my nurse confidence it getting better I think. You know they say it takes three years for a nurse to be even considered 'competent'? That's a long time, folks, and I still have another year of nursing school left. I love my job though. I love the cute old people I take care of, and I love being the nurse in charge. It's awesome.
I can feel that summer is right around the corner, and I've been itching to participate in all my favorite summer-y activities! I think Nathan and I will be purchasing long boards this year fo' sho'. Also I can't wait to get the first initiatory summer snow cone and go hang out at the swimming pool. We went to my brother's baseball game this last week, and if baseball doesn't speak summer I don't know what does.
Nathan loves it when I snap pictures of him in the car, HA! He loves me.
Whelp. It's been a real slice. Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Hoping it will become really clear what you should do as far as the move goes. I am getting so excited for all of the summer stuff too! Long boarding looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteUgh! I know what you mean about deciding where to live! We are in a similar situation, actually. What I've found to help me decide, is I basically just ask myself what I'll be glad I did in 10 years. Cause sometimes in the moment I don't want to do things, but I know that long term it will have been a good decision (ex: living with my mom for 2 years to save for new york). I feel like sometimes doing things I don't want to do end up giving me more options in the future.
ReplyDeleteAnyway! You'll make the right decision!!!
