Update From The Lone Star State

It's hard to believe that we have been in Texas for a month.
Time goes by so fast when you're a traveler! We are already 3 weeks into a 13 weeks assignment, but it still feels like we haven't moved. Our housing situation has been a little bit tumulus, but I'm happy to say that this week we will be moving into our "forever" home- a small apartment attached to a house. The price is right, and it's a really nice apartment! In the meantime, at first we had rotated between family members, and for the last 2 weeks have been staying at a local hotel in Huntsville. The main problem is it doesn't have a kitchenette and only a mini fridge and microwave so we have been getting meals from a health food store called My Fit Foods which you refrigerate and then microwave. It's been nice having good meals that are healthy too- minimal clean up as well! Huntsville isn't exactly a "happening" place so we are usually in Sugar Land on the weekends where my parents live. It's been nice getting to spend time in a house and get to do our laundry for free! It's the little things when you're a traveler. We've enjoyed spending time with family, my parents, aunt/uncle/cousins, and grandparents live here, and Braden has an aunt/uncle and cousins who live near us as well. I am really enjoying my job at a nursing home in Huntsville. It's nice to be back in geriatric care, as it is comfortable for me. I have a full caseload so it keeps me busy! I adore my patients and my coworkers are really nice and helpful as well. I'm very glad to not have to worry about not getting 40 hours anymore!

Hopefully this week once we get settled we will be able to get back into our workout routine. It's something that I've really missed! I am also excited to have our mini dachshund, Macie, back living with us again, as our current hotel doesn't allow pets. She has been living with my parents and we have only been getting  to see her on weekends. 

This week is looking like it will be a busy week, but we are glad to be moving into something more permanent, or as permanent as things ever get in travel!

We are also hoping to get to go to the Houston Rodeo this week. It is always a lot of fun!
