hello!
just wanted to update you all.. i did officially extend my contract here in B'more. This means my first assignment ends at the end of december. i decided to work Christmas so I could take a whole 2 weeks off in between contracts to spend time at home (IA and MN). I'll start back on the 10th of January and end in mid-april. after that... who knows! still toying with the idea of getting my masters as a clinical nurse specialist.
staying in one place for more than one assignment will definitely help with the whole "saving money" gig. honduras is still on my heart but it most likely wouldn't happen for another year.
MN often tugs on my heart.... but as I said to my friend, I'm afraid if I ever move back that I'll never leave again.. its just that special because of all of the people (family, co-workes/friends, friends, friends of friends, etc!).
mom mangan arrives tomorrow! fun for us!! its raining a bunch but that won't stop us! i'm excited to do some touristy stuff that i've not yet explored and we're thinking maybe even a bus ride to NYC, catch a show, dinner with Gruber, who knows!
my big brother turns 35 tomorrow!!! 35!!!! holy cow.. i adore this man and miss seeing him and his amazing fam. got the perfect card for him but forgot to send it.. typical laura, but praise God for big brothers like him! :)
work is getting easier as i learn the routines. i'm enjoying it. one of my patients told me today that before he was discharged, he was going to make sure ****insert name of hospital*** offered me a full time job, "i don't like the idea of you traveling, you need to stay here." definitely a nice thing to hear. :)
so yes, all is well!
praise be for the blessings of this opportunity.
thanks for checking in.
love to all......
oh sister...it's good to hear that things are good. Since you'll be around until April, I think the sisters should try to come out there and visit...bus ride to NYC see a show and have dinner with Gruber! How fun would that be!!!!!
: )
love!

So good to hear you'll be staying there for awhile. I just wish we were living a little closer to each other. I really hope you'll be able to make it to MDR for a couple days in January/February when I'm there. I miss you!!
