Sorry to be so MIA lately, but there's been a lot going on with our life! We've been busy! I graduated in December and have been working as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the Neurology department since October. It's going really well and I love the amazing group of people I work with. I've been learning a LOT and still have a LOT to go! But I've loved all of the kiddos and am settling into my new role.
Next up is Student Dr. Brownlee... He has 10 weeks left of medical school!!! Praise the Lord! Been a long haul! In January, he got accepted into an ophthalmology residency in Little Rock, Arkansas!!!! To say that we are still in shock is an understatement! God was so so faithful to answer our many prayers and has given Colby the opportunity to study in the specialty that was his first choice and we are excited about moving to Arkansas. We aren't sure where he will do his intern year until March, so we could still stay put here another year, but will for sure be in AR by summer of 2013. The city is really beautiful with lots of trees and the fall was breathtaking when we visited. There's tons of outdoor activities including camping, hiking, fishing, kayaking...so we think this is a perfect fit! We are of course a little nervous to be that far away from family, but know that we will meet some amazing people there just as we have here.
We were blessed to be able to go on a cruise after Christmas and through the New Year with Colby's family. We had a really fun time being with family and just relaxing during all the hustle and bustle. Our favorite part of the trip was an underground river/cave experience that was SO beautiful and a wonderful way to see another aspect of God's creation.
