So here comes the update. I am in Washington!!!!! This part is so exciting. Jordan is in Boston. This part is not so exciting but I have been counting the days and we are 16 days and counting. It has been absolutely gorgeous in the Seattle area and I can't tell you how much I missed the people. sights, sounds, smells and...everything. ;)
School has been intense but good. There truly is a difference when you are not working and the difference is amazing. Although I leave the house at 6:45 am and get back at 7-8 pm I feel much more rested than I did during the spring when I was working full-time and taking a class online. We have already had two exams and I am working on a research paper while studying for another exam on Monday.
On another topic we (Jordan and I) put in an application on an apartment on Greenlake and we are so excited to have a home again. I am ecstatic to get my kitchen back and all my dishes. It was harder than I though surviving a year without having more than one pot and one pan. The apartment we applied for is a two bed one bath and it is pretty big so if you need a place to stay let us know. I was really blessed that this was the first place I saw and after looking at 9 others I still loved it the most. ;)
I think this is the major new stuff. Please pray for Jordan as he travels across the country at the end of this month. He is bring precious cargo (himself and our cat cheza). Pray that they will be safe and that cheza, who hates cars, will make the trip safely.
Much love to anyone who still reads this (I have been more than a little missing in action since March),
Sincerely,
Barbara

Last Day of Work

Always trying to keep people up to date but usually failing. I am so sorry. Today is my last day at Watkin's Cardiovascular of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. I am sad to be leaving the amazing staff, who threw me a great goodbye lunch the other day, but so excited to be heading to the west. ALRIGHT!!!! Coming over for Sally's wedding was great but definitely a tease considering how gorgeous it was there and the fact that we had 1 sunny day the whole month of June in Boston. Yes, it is the worst June on record. Jordan and I managed to take advantage of the one nice day this month to bike most of Cape Cod. It was an amazing day and we feel really blessed to have spent the time enjoying the beauty of God's creation. My flight leaves bright and early Sunday (6am) for Seattle and praise the Lord it is a direct flight!!! Hope to see some of you very soon.
Much love,
Barbara
