My year in Pictures (warning:picture overload!)

Hello blog world... I've missed you! So much has happened, where do I begin?

My last post was about graduating nursing school - awesome! However, the job market in California is crap for a new grad nurse with no RN experience sooooo I started looking out of state for jobs after 6 months of diligently looking and applying. I had heard Texas had openings and I started applying there. The first offer that came along was in Austin, so we packed up our home and hit the road!

On our road trip we stopped in Tucson, AZ, adventured the caverns in Carlsbad, NM, and visited friends in Dallas, TX. Our good friends Mike and Ciara trucked it out there with us, boxes and pugs in tow.

Then arrived at our new home that I've grown to love! We've done so much adventuring and travelling since we've been here. Here are the highlights in pictures!
