John and I have some big things on the horizon.
And no, I'm not talking about our baby due in May. While that certainly is a big thing, there are actually a handful of other big things possibly headed our way in the next few months.
First, John finally got offered an interview for that job he applied to back in September. And he went on that interview. And it went well. It was actually a 3-day long interview that included him being interviewed 14 times by 14 different physicians and giving a 1-hour talk on a topic of his choice. Eek! Talk about high stress! But I have every confidence that he nailed it.
And so now we wait to hear back from them.
Once we hear back, we have to decide... what comes next? Do we pick up and move to east Tennessee? Do we move right away or wait until after baby is born? Do we rent once we get there or look into buying a house? Do we even want him to take this job?!?
Lot's of up in the air details, folks. It's been crazy around here.
And in addition to that crazy, I've got my own crazy going on.
I've been accepted to attend a Creighton Model FertilityCare practitioner training in January outside of Nashville, and I'm pretty sure I'll be going. Eek!!
I've always been interested in becoming a practitioner, especially since Creighton and NaPro have done so many wonderful things for me, I've just never found the right time and I never thought there'd be a training close to Memphis. But then Sew posted about attending a training nearby and my interest was instantly piqued!
At first, I thought it was a long shot, especially with baby being due halfway through the 11-month training, and with training cost being kinda high, AND with the real possibility of us moving to another part of Tennessee (with no Creighton or NaPro presence) in the next few months. But the more I prayed and thought about it, the more I felt called. And so I applied. And now I'm going.
Which ALSO means that I'll probably be phasing myself out of my youth ministry job here real soon. Yikes!
So, a new job for me, possibly a new job for John, possibly a big move here soon, AND a baby on the way.
BIG THINGS, I tell ya!
Please pray for us as we continue to discern our next steps.
And if you know of anyone looking to learn the Creighton Model, consider sending them my way. After my training, that is. :)
I've been wondering what happened with the job application. I hope it works out however it's supposed to :-) and hooray for Creighton training- that's great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie! More updates coming soon on the job front. :)
DeleteHow exciting! Prayers coming your way!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Donna! :)
DeleteLots of blessings! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! Hoping for many blessings for you guys too!
DeleteWow! Lots of big things! Praying that you are able to take the decisions one at a time and not get too overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! Thanks, girl!
DeleteSuch awesome things! And all of it so exciting! I'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, friend!!
DeleteAwesome! Praying for you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo appreciate the prayers! Thank you!
DeletePrayers for you and your hub!!! And your little one! God is busy weaving these plans together as we speak...I can't wait to see how they unfold :) and I've already told you this, but I am confident that you will be THE BEST practitioner around! Seriously, you will be so great!
ReplyDeleteYou are too dang sweet! Thanks, friend! You're my biggest cheerleader, me thinks. :)
DeleteI am dying to go through this training with you! Live in the same house and bunk on the floor in our air mattresses for 8 days-ergh 9 days! So we are either going to love one another or despise one another. Can't wait to meet you! ha! So funny! hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteYou better be relatively normal. :P
DeleteI tell people oh my friend is going through it too! But little do they know I have never met you! hahaha I love the internet! So fun!
ReplyDeleteMy fave was telling Dr. P that we had met thru the internet... and still not actually met in person yet. Haha! He was a bit confused.
DeleteLots of big things coming your way!!! ...very exciting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! :) I hope things get super excited for you two soon too! I pray for you often!
DeleteGood luck waiting to hear from John's interview! It sounds like there is a lot of decisions to be made and changes to come. With it being year end, I've been thinking a lot about where we will be in the next year or two, and I've realized how little clue I have. I don't know where Husbandido will be working, if or where I'll be working, if we'll still be in this house or have moved, if we'll have children or adopt. Too much uncertainty can really make you avoid looking ahead!
ReplyDeleteYes, the uncertainty can drive ya mad! It's nice to finally have some details taking shape, but I get a little flustered when we still have decisions to make and don't yet have enough info to make them. That's sorta where we are right now. Hoping all the best for you and hubs in 2015!
DeleteExciting! !! Keep us posted :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ecce! Sure will!
DeleteEeek.. so exciting. My FCP, did her training before a little one came & took the exam, while breastfeeding. ( yes they gave her extra breaks to nurse ). I think you would be awesome !
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks so much, Lucky! Sounds like I might be following in your FCP's foot steps!
