goodbye, MCD!



today i tried to get several things done: errands, yardwork, housework....and turn in my two week notice at medical city. at the end of october, matt and i will be moving to columbus, ohio for his work. the closing date to sell our house is october 30th and we already have an apartment in columbus. we signed the lease when i went to visit him at the end of september. most of you already knew this, but for those who didn't...sorry! i didn't feel like it was a good idea to tell everyone at work until i knew, for sure, when we would be moving. i selfishly didn't want to endure the comments, scrutiny, and stress of having everyone know that our house was on the market and that i would have to be leaving soon. of course, the last 2 months have been stressful anyway. if you wondered why i was so tired or seemed so busy, or why i was re-grouting the shower and cleaning out closets...now you know! there were many days that i would work all night, come home and clean the house, fall into bed and be awakened a short while later by the showing service saying that someone wanted to see the house. this would completely ruin any chance of real sleep before i went back to work that night. the whole ordeal has been completely stressful and i'm sorry to anyone i might have inadvertantly taken this out on! thank you to everyone for being supportive, even if you didn't know about this undertaking. fortunately, i am blessed with good friends, a wonderful family and an amazing husband, who worked with me through the paperwork, frustrations and complications of attempting to sell a house and rent an apartment while living 1100+ miles away from each other (and in different time zones!).
yes, it will be hard to move away from everything here, especially the amazing people i know. and yes, it will be colder there. but i am very, very excited about not having a long-distance relationship with my husband anymore and starting a new chapter of our life together.

medical city...i probably won't miss you.....

to the PEOPLE at medical city, you will ALWAYS hold a very special place in my big, texas heart. thank you for being supportive of me through the very first part of my nursing career. the time i have spent there and the people i have known have all taught me very important things about this crazy profession and life in general.

So I heard through the grapevine that you put in your two week :(

I'm so very sad that you are leaving; however, happy that you will be with your hubby again. Can't imagine how difficult that would be. I will miss you! Wishing you the VERY best of luck!
