Moses Lake

So...here's an update for all of you diligent people who haven't completely given up on me updating the blog :). We have been here in Moses Lake now for a little over 3 weeks and are getting settled in. Our move was pretty amazing with the people that packed and moved all of our stuff. It was very stress free and now we are just working on getting everything unpacked. For those of you that haven't heard the story...we moved into our rental house without even seeing it. I was so scared to see what it would be like, but it is sooo nice! It was definitely a pleasant surprise! We are liking it here so far, but we are still adjusting to being so far away from family. That has definitely been the hardest part. However, on the positive side, we are pretty close to Jared and Marianne and we've been able to spend some time there. It's been really nice. We're heading there for Halloween and I'm soooo excited to see the kids all dressed up. It should be fun!! Our house is still a work in progress, but we got some new furniture and have been decorating a bit. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our new furniture. We got a new dining room table, new couch, bedset and rug. It's so nice!
I have started my job now and even gotten my first "grown-up" paycheck! I have been really enjoying my job so far. It is a very good company and I work with really great people. I am taking over 600 patients from the provider that recently quit. Don't worry....I just peed my pants a little bit when I heard that! I have to admit that I am losing sleep at night now because I am in charge of my own patients and that scares me sometimes, but I am adjusting and really liking it.
Tay is going to school online and is doing well. I think that he might be going a little "stir crazy" staying at home, but he sure helps me out a lot with everything. He's such a great husband! I can't believe how much he supports and loves me. We had our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY on Oct. 16th. I can't believe how fast it's flown by! Here's some pics of our house and other random stuff...


















































So that's what's been going on with us lately. We miss everybody and hope that all is well! Love you all!

I miss you guys SO MUCH!!! Thanks for updating your blog =) Your house looks really nice! I am so happy that things are working out so wonderfully. I am sure you will take great care of your 600 patients. My girls are just sad that they can't be two of them.
We love you TONS!

Congrats on everything guys!! You will do GREAT with your patients Amanda, but here's some extra good luck anyway. :) Your house and furniture look so nice and I long for the day that I put "move" and "nonstressful" in the same sentence-we'll have another chance in March!! Can't wait for more updates and pics of the area (hint,hint) he, he

I can't believe it's been 5 years since you've become part of us! You are so wonderful. I feel like I'm the one that is having the withdrawels with everyone moving away. We miss you so much.
You house looks great! I can't wait to see it (and you two again.)
I'm sure that you are amazing everyone there with your professionalism, your ease with people, and your knowledge of medicine.
I love you both so much.

I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! Thanks you so much for making sure you two are in some of the pictures, although it just makes me miss you more and want to give both of you a big hug! It was kind of fun trying to see if I could find Bentley or Sadie in all the pictures, like a Waldo book or something, miss them too.
Okay, Travis and I LOVE your new place, could it be any nicer! Love the outside, love the new furniture, the decorations, everything! I can't believe you already have it looking so great with all the decor and everything!
I am so excited for you guys, Amanda those 600 people are the luckiest patients to have you (you really are the BEST). Taylor, could you be more of a stud! I hope that school keeps on going so well for you.
Love you guys!!!
