In December of last year I was talking with my parents and told them that I was going to limit my job search to hospitals in Salt Lake City. They were excited and I genuinely thought that was the route I was going to take. But as I walked through my last semester of school this spring, my heart began to change. My desires began to shift toward pursuing the job hunt out of state, so I began applying to hospitals all over the country. I decided not to let my fears stop me, so I applied to places that I never dreamed of getting into... one of those places was Duke. After months of waiting, I finally heard back from them and went out to interview in the middle of May. Just last Thursday I received the news that...
I got the job on the pediatric bone marrow transplant unit!
(a.k.a. dream job)
So, folks, I am picking up my life and moving 2,000 miles across the country to Raleigh, North Carolina. There are still a lot of unknowns and a lot of tough things in the months ahead (oh, I'm dreading the goodbyes). It may not make the most sense on a pro/con list, but I don't really believe that life should be lived by human logic or a pro-con list. During my interview I had an immediate peace that Duke was where I was supposed to be and God opened the door, so I'm going (even if I don't have all the answers).
It's time to take a risk and I could not be more excited!

You can do it! I picked up and moved from Michigan because God showed me the way and I had immediate peace when I got here. I wasn't even homesick! And now I've found the love of my life and started my own family. Which I never expected. All because I was willing to let God lead! It'll be amazing. I know it!
There are so many people in the South who are ready to welcome you with open arms. I am one of them! :)
That is so awesome! Congratulations! You will love the south--we're very hospitable, I'm sure you've heard. :)
Can't wait to visit!
I just got a little teary reading this because I am SO very happy & proud of you. It's a scary thing & I can't imagine moving ACROSS THE COUNTRY, but when it's a God thing, you just know it. I'll be 7 hours from you...not close, but a whole lot closer than SLC if you ever need anything!
This is so exciting, there is nothing more perfect than God and His timing!
Oh I love this, I'm finding everyone's blogs today. Can I just tell you how proud I am that you are my friend. I am also secretly jealous of your upcoming adventure. If I were in a different place in my life...ahhhh. So I will love to hear your tales of intrigue and excitement! I can tell you all about the ICU, cause you know, I'm going to get that ;) Please, please, please let's do a girls day before you leave?? Hugs!! Em
You got this! But before you leave we should do something cause who knows when the next time will be!
ah! love!
