Oh you know it might maybe have been three months since I
have written anything. Well it’s pretty much been three months since I have
done anything but work and sleep! Back in April I accepted a new position at a
new hospital an hour away from where we live. This was the ideal position I
have been waiting for! I get to work less days a week and still make the same
amount of money! I now work two 12 hour shifts a week instead of four 8 hour
shifts a week. The catch was I was taking a medication that was very expensive
without insurance coverage. So for the past 3 months I have been working two
full time, six days a week!! Needless to say this has been hard on my body, our
family, and most important our relationship. I have now passed my 90 day
probationary period and have insurance coverage! I am officially Per Diem/on
call status at my original job and full time on my own at the new one. YAY!!
We kicked this off by a camping trip to eastern Washington. Now
in the 12 years that Ron and I have known each other we have never been camping
together. We spent 4 days and 3 nights at Potholes, WA, The Mardon Resort. Ron
and his dad used to come camping and fishing here when Ron was just a little
boy. It was really special to Ron that he was able to bring the kids back here
and give them a piece of his childhood.
At The Mardon Resort they have a doc structure with many
places to tie up your boat which makes many places to fish for fun little fish
like, perch, crappie, and blue gill. The kids had a blast. They both caught
their first ever fish alone without any help from the two of us. Many it was
hot as heck over there though. The difference between western WA and eastern WA
is that there aren’t any shade trees, Eastern, WA is almost like the desert
during the summer. We spent a lot of time swimming in the lake to help cool
off.
On our last full day there we rented a 14’ boat to take out
further and explore the lake more. This was amazing to the kids! The three of
them caught some big catfish and I caught nothing! The kids thought it was
pretty funny I didn’t get anything. We first got on the water about 8 that
morning and I had packed some sandwiches and chips for lunch so we ate on the
water. We headed back in around noon because it was so dang hot! We hung around
the swimming hole floating around and having fun till dinner. After dinner we
went out on the boat again for sunset. Have I mentioned the sunset? It was
beautiful every night we were there!
We had such a great time. It was nice to get away from home
for a few days but we were so glad to be back in our own bed and our own
shower.
