Last thursday Dallas and I embarked on our journey east... He had a truck pulling a horse trailer full of our stuff and I drove my car full of stuff. About 2 hours into our trip it started raining pretty hard. I could barely see where I was going so I called Dallas to see if he thought we should pull over and wait it out as other cars were doing, he said no, that if he stopped we had more chance of the rain getting into the trailer and getting on all of our things! So I decided if he was going to keep on driving, I was too. The rain got harder and the wind blew harder and branches were flying across the road. I turned on the radio to find there were severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings out. Great. I called my dad to check the radar, and got more good news, the storm wasnt going to let up any time soon, however, we were on the outside edge of the big red blob on the radar. It was comming with us. My dads advice was to high tail it out of there and get enough in front of it to keep from it catching up with us again. I might as well have driven with my eyes closed. That was the absolute worst hour drive out of that storm I've ever been in. At one point I just started crying and praying. I thought it was going to be the end of us. But thankfully, soon later I could see the sun and the rain drops eased up. The rest of the drive was fine. It took us a little over 13 hours but we made it to my parents house safe and sound Thursday evening. Our dogs were so happy to see us, I bet we were just as happy too. I never want to go that long without seeing them again! 2 months is too long! We unpacked the horse trailer into a storage unit for the time being until we find a house. I start my job next monday and Dallas has had several job offers, he hasn't decided on anything for yet, so we'll see what happens :)
Oh yeah... I took my Registry Exams and passed them :)
One more exam left, the Neonatal & Pediatric Specialty Exam!
