The Answer to Many Prayers

We have our answer:
 
Aaron has a job!!!!

And, it's in our lovely city which is even better!!! We actually haven't been waiting since the last time I wrote but it is OFFICIAL today since Aaron passed his boards! So, it's a for sure thing now which is why we waited to make an announcement :)

About a week after I wrote, Aaron had an interview with the hospital in Mankato. The opening was in a department right next to his internship so they knew his name and had seen him around. With much persistence and a lot of people praying for the position, he got a call a week later that he got the job. We were absolutely ecstatic and it seriously felt too good to be true. It's in a department he really wanted to be in (ED) and it allowed us to stay put. However, it depended on if he passed the boards or not so we held our breath, knowing that this job was in our grasp but waiting to see if this was indeed "the job".

On Friday, Aaron took his boards. Absolute hardest thing he's ever taken and he came away thinking he failed. Well, today we found out he passed and the job is official now :)

*Whew* Again, I've learned so much about waiting. It feels like a giant burden has been lifted off our shoulders but I don't want to forget this waiting/uncertain time in life. May I never forget these life-changing 3 1/2 years!! :)

While We're Waiting

We might as well enjoy time outside!

 
Aaron had 2 job interviews last week. We don't hear back until next week sometime. SO, we have 2 choices.....we could either 1) Stress our little minds out OR  2) Enjoy the present and see the good in the present!
We're choosing Option 2 (most of the time!) so we've spent the last few days enjoying time outside and being together. It's been fantastic! Over the last month, we've also had fun doing "summer things":
Tristen's first (free!) horse ride. He loved it!
 
Parades with family members!

First train ride....he's obsessed with trains so this was a highlight :)

Ice cream with daddy? So great :)
