We're off!! On Sunday Russ took off on his drive from PA to WA!!! Me and the kids stayed behind to finish up cleaning and to see our truck off. Fortunately, my dear friend Stefanie Batista let me & the kids stay at her house and we even got to sleep in a real bed! No air mattresses! It was lovely. Monday, we walked through our apartment and turned in our keys. It was really sad to leave our home for 3 years. That's the longest that we have lived anywhere since we've been married 7 years ago. Monday evening was our flight to Las Vegas, we got here at 8:30 local time. Aron, Russ' brother, picked us up and we are staying at his house and having a great time!! Aron has a pool and a jacuzzi! Tanner wants to go swimming as soon as he wakes up! Even though it has been 108!! We have been staying cool. It is so nice to be able to sit back and relax after weeks of the high stress of moving.
As for Russ, he raced across the country driving my car and towing his behind. He made it to Seattle in record time!! He's already there!! He got there Tuesday around 6pm! I couldn't believe it!! He did pull some all nighters, be he says he rested along the way.... I'm not sure myself, but he made it there safe! And the only problem he had was a tire blowout on the trailer. he had all his tools with him so it was a easy fix for him. I'm sure he's sleeping right now! He'll probably sleep for a whole day! Which is good! He need to catch up! On Thursday night, Russ has a flight to come here to Vegas, we really miss him! I am such a sap....I just hate being without my hubby just for one day!
As for our plans form the future.....we are going to be hanging out in Seattle at Russ' parents house until we get a job set in stone and find an apartment to live in. Russ has been speaking to some Dentist in Yakima, Wa and from the sounds of it they really want Russ to come work with them! We are really excited! They have offered a pretty sweet deal! We are going to be making so much money we won't know what to do with it!! j/k! I know I'll figure out how to spend it! :) So, they will be paying Russ a salary and pay on his student loans monthly while he's working for them, AND!! They pay his malpractice insurance (which I hear can be very expensive!!) and we'll get total health insurance for the whole fam! And they also pay for his continuing education that he has to do each year to keep practicing. So if you can imagine it's impossible to turn that down!!
Well--I think that's about it.....We are having a good time and finally relaxing! ahhhhhhh......

Wow, sounds like things are rolling along for you guys! Good luck and keep in touch:)
I hate to admit this but, dang! I am totally jealous of this stage of life you have reached! What a dream! Done with school, on to real life!
Glad to hear you guys made it safely. Enjoy your mini vacation before you have to start unpacking somewhere. I'm so excited for you guys. Still wish you would have settled somewhere on the east coast...Good luck.
You're gone! This is so sad. I thought that you would still be around for at least a few days when I got back. sniff sniff. I miss you already. Ryan especially misses his girl friend. You are going to have to stay in touch with me.. FOREVER! When we are in WA I will for sure let you know! Good luck with this next exciting phase of your life.
If Yakima pans out, you can eat at Miners to celebrate whenever you want - that's one of the best perks about Yakima :D
So far, your adventure sounds like it is going to be a blast! Congratulations on all of the fun upcoming things!
