Employment!

Hello All!

It's been a while since we've had an update, and a few things have happened. I have just gotten a job working at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center here in Waco. I am now a Registration Assistant in the Emergency Room in the hospital. It's nice to be able to say that I'm helping support my wife through her PhD and have that financial element too :)

I started work on Monday, October 5th, and I've just finished my first week of training. I've mostly just been observing so far, but it looks like it will be very similar to my position at St. Mary's. I've been remembering more that I've been learning. However, I've got to be careful because there are often small but significant differences, and I'd hate to miss learning something important. Overall, I'm very excited for the job: I like the people, the environment, and I've already got a lot of experience, so I think it's going to go really well.

UPDATE:
In very sad updated news: we adopted a beautiful, amazing, loving, friendly cat named Pete this weekend. Unfortuantely, our little Petey came down with a terrible upper respiratory and urinary tract infection. Long story short, despite being incredibly attached to our new baby boy -- we had to return him to the Humane Society.
We are very broken-hearted over our kitty-love rollercoaster. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before we get a new cat. But in the mean time, our tiny apartment now feels extremely empty with him gone.
