I am in a constant state of mental processing at the moment. I have one more day at Good Sam Hospital here in the valley and it's coming up quick....Friday. I can't believe it. This is happening too fast! I am literally devastated when I think of leaving my work family there - they are so perfect for me...I wish I could pack everyone in a box (ok ok maybe not EVERYONE) and take them all with me.
Leaving is hard.
Corvallis is my home. This place IS my comfort zone. Does that make sense? Everything outside of this community feels a little 'out of bounds' if you know what I mean......yet, here I go. I can't believe this is all happening. I am going. I am terrified. I've never done anything like this before - and I am so excited and nervous all at once that the feeling is literally overwhelming .......but in a good way (I think). I'm taking on a new adventure - school and work (a new O.R.!!!) - and I am petrified.
I think of leaving certain friends and family members and break down (I cried on my way to work today - such a freakin softy) - I am so sad....my church, my work, my family, my community...so sad....sob sob sob. :/ - but then I remember who I am. I freaking love you guys...happy happy happy! (no seriously. I do) - more than most things I love you guys....I will NOT lose touch. I will be back to harass you! - and I will bug you and bug you and bug you until you come and visit me (Facebook stalk you, instagram you, etc)! We will hike and bike and ski (or whatever Idahoians do!).
I am so excited for my next chapter - but I know that it's just a subplot in this wacky adventure we call 'life.' A few years to learn some new stuff is nothin' - but I'm so excited for the experience.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you SO MUCH for the perfectly wonderful influence you've had on me thus far. I'd not have made it here without my wonderful friends.
Pics? Yep. :)
