Big changes

Oh how I dislike spring forward. Ugh I want my hour back! Even with the hour less sleep I am so grateful for this relaxing fun weekend.

I have been writing a lot about Being open to the possibilities and trusting in God. I feel like I have been hoping and praying for God to lead me in the right direction for quite a long time now. I have never felt completely settled here in Mankato doing Echocardiography. Do you remember this post back in September? When I said I was afraid to say it, but I had a feeling that my life was going to be changing soon. Well it's happening and I can hardly believe it. At the time when I wrote that, I honestly thought it was a possible move to a cabin on a lake, and our Echocardiography lab was getting a new Cardiologist. Little did I know that God was already preparing me mentally for a much bigger change. One that I have been hoping and praying for, for a long time!

I will be moving to the St. Paul area doing my Echocardiography part time and coaching figure skating MORE! I am so so excited! I am not sure how it is all going to shake out with being able to coach more and how my schedules will blend. All I know is that it will work out. God has a plan.

I am finally getting out of this town! WAHOO!!!!

Here is a quick view of what my past few months have been.

I had my first interview up in the cities the Monday before Christmas. I Waited five weeks just to hear that they gave the position to someone else. Then a week later I received a call that the lady they offered the position to backed out, and now I can have the position. I had to tell them that I couldn't accept or decline, because I had another interview the next week. Holy crap! In the end I was forced to accept the first position and I kept the second interview. I was offered the second job the next day after my interview. Thank you God because I couldn't handle any more suspense, for crying out loud! I had two job offers and went with the second one. It all sounds so simple when I write it out. But over the course of two and a half months I felt like I was living in suspense! It was agonizing! One of my coworkers asked "How do you sleep at night?" Ha ha

While all of this was going on I was also in contact with a figure skating club that my coach put me in touch with. Because what was the point of interviewing for Echo jobs if I didn't have a coaching job lined up? This club sounded like they were basically ready to approve me to start coaching right away. So to say that I was disappointed when I found out that I didn't get that first job right away, was an understatement. Although I am not for sure on what club I will be coaching at yet, I know it will fall into place. I am finally meeting with that particular club this week:)!  

It feels so good to have a goal again, and to be following my heart not my practical head! Yeah echo is a consistent good paying reliable job, it's as boring as rocks some days though, and not challenging enough.

I am starting my final week of being an employee at the Mayo Clinic Health System Mankato. This is a strange thought, I have been a part of Mayo since 2008 when I started school. It can't be, and yet I can't wait to be done. I can't handle all of these emotions! It's too much, I hate goodbyes.

Ciao,
