I loved this super simple outfit on our Family Vacation. We ended up in the Black Hills where the nights get a little chilly! I was so happy I packed for layers. During the day I wore this with denim shorts.  I am always cold, my hubs has literally said snuggling with me is like hugging a popsicle. He is always an oven so its just another way we balance each other out. I digress…

Back to the outfit. I wore this on a chilly evening sitting next to the campfire. The men were in the back ground chatting about work, football, and hunting. Tman was running around with his instant bffs he met at the campground. There I sat with nothing to do……Gasp

It is so funny how busy we really are! Lately I am so busy I literally cannot even keep my blog up to date with all of our projects, outfits, crafts, recipes, and mommy adventures! It felt good to be in the middle of a forest, with no reception, and absolutely not a care in the world. Wearing this comfy number 😉

God Bless!

Man I miss my nice camera!!

He took a jump of the tripod (I was being artsy, oops), and now he has a 3 week vaca at the repair shop :(. Oh well, we are lucky to have a runner up, and it isn’t too bad. Anyhoo back to business!

A few weekends ago it was chilly on Sunday, and I was not too bummed as I stated here it gave me the opportunity to layer 🙂 I bought this maxi dress a the same time I got this one, but I splurged because this one was a whole $3!!

This is what the top part looks like:

Kinda cute for three dolllaaaasss!

I have yet to brave this dress without a cardigan, but I swear I am going too 😉

God Bless,

Announcement!!!!

I have put this post off, because I didn’t necessarily know where to start…

This was a HUGE decision I weighed heavily,  involved so many prayers, most ending with question marks.

Early this summer I head about an awesome, unique career opportunity ….It is entirely different!!! The kind that deviates your path from all of what you previously expected. The more I stalked their website and asked around about them, the more I was intrigued and interested in this company. As one would expect from this post title I clearly interviewed, chewed my nails off  waited, and prayed for guidance. In the end I was presented with an excellent opportunity and graciously accepted the position.

Which meant I had to leave what I have come to feel comfortable with, eek … Leave all the women that have become a second family. Leave the place that became my work “home”. I have developed soooo much personally, professionally, and faithfully while being a part of this team. Not to mention, leave a path I have invested so much time and money into. Somehow in all of those fears I found peace with my decision, and that is when I knew I made the right decision, I concluded it must be a God thing.

So, what is this fantastic opportunity you ask?

I am going to join a EMR (electronic medical record) company as part of their implementation team. Enter jaw dropping response here

So you aren’t going to be a Nurse anymore?……(the first questions nearly everyone asks!)

Yes, I will always be a nurse, I am a nurse at heart. It is a field I am so passionate about, but I will be doing it from a different perspective. This is actually considered a nursing specialty known as, nursing informatics. Instead of providing hands on care and education directly to a patient, I will be providing education and encouragement to the clinicians, assisting in configuring software for each specific clinic,  and at times share my perspective as a Nurse. It is for a company I have literally heard nothing but good news about. They have become known in our community as having a awesome, unique working environment, with TONS of opportunity for growth. So there you have it, my big life changing adventure! I start Monday, and I am very excited!

Did I mention I can wear open toed shoes, Good bye OSHA regulations 😉

God Bless,

Cassie
