TRAVEL NURSING: ASSIGNMENT #2

I wrapped things up at Cobb Hospital with tears in my eyes... this was an amazing time of growth and change in my life. 13 weeks led to  lifelong friendships, new nursing experiences and a new man in my life. God was moving in my life in ways I could of never imagined. When I started this adventure I had no idea what it would bring but I am so thankful I took this leap of faith!

I am blessed beyond measure in so many ways but I must admit one of the biggest and most unexpected blessing is the man God brought into my life.  He is loving, encouraging, inspiring, full of life, a child of God and to top it off strikingly handsome! We are building a strong Christ centered relationship. I'm so thankful for him in my life and his willingness to support me as I travel!

J&J


When I started the discussion of where to next with my recruiter I was dead set on spending the summer on the beach!!!! I mean, what more could a girl ask for?!? Well, little did I know God had some other ideas for my summer on the beach...my recruiter called to ask if she could send my resume to Albany Ga, wait a minute...was I speaking English when I said beach??? My resume was submitted and next thing I knew I was signing a 13 week contract at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. But before heading to the middle of nowhere Ga I headed to Amelia Island with mom and dad for a week at the beach.

So what does one do when it is raining the day you arrive at the beach? Test drive cars in Jacksonville of course! Well test drive would be an understatement because I actually bought a car!!!

Acura RDX 2011

After a fantastic week at the beach and a beautiful new car that I absolutely love I packed up the RDX and headed to Albany... J was wonderful and agreed to help me get settled in! We made a quick stop in WR to see his parents (love times like these) and then headed on to Albany to the mother-n-law suite the Sugg's helped me find. 



After unpacking the over stuffed car (the only way I know how to travel is with WAY too much stuff) we settled on a place for a late and much needed dinner (I was HANGRY). Sunday brought a day of adventure and shopping. We found a great lil breakfast place, Roosters, which has become our breakfast place. We found Sherwood Baptist Church the home of Fireproof and other Christian movies, this was J's favorite thing for sure. It was such a long day but a much needed one to get somewhat acclimated to my new home. I started work Monday, April 29, and although it has been a very different experience then my first assignment it has been good none the less. I have continued to grow as a nurse as well as a person. It has been challenging making friends outside of work but God has been faithful. I am headed into the final 4 weeks of this assignment and whether I renew in Albany or find myself moving to a new location I know God will be faithful to provide all of my needs!
