Enduring change isn't my strong suit. I am a creature of habit and routine. But there is a lot of change coming up in our future and I'm actually quite excited about it.
Mike will be leaving the University of Colorado Health System's Burn/Trauma services to take a full time job as a mobile ICU nurse for Rural/Metro ambulance. Mike has always liked the EMS life. He appreciates the quick pace and the fellow EMS workers are all pretty easy going and laid back. Since starting part time at R/M last year, Mike has really grown to like it there. So when his supervisor told him they were looking for another full time nurse, Mike began turning the idea over in his head. As a single income family, we couldn't take a pay cut but Mike desperately needed a change. This change would put him on a set schedule working the day shift. After a few rough nights in the ICU, it was clear to him that he needed to more seriously consider this change. Turns out, it would be a lateral move pay wise. And so , he took the jump! After 6 shifts on the ICU, he will close the door on that chapter and move onto another. It has been so long since Mike worked a day schedule and a job that he was truly happy with. I am so happy for him and for our family.
In other news, we decided to make a change with Mackenzie's school. While her teacher this year has been outstanding, going the extra miles it has taken to meet Mack where her needs were and then continue to help her advance, it has become clear to us that this is definitely the exception in our district. There has a been a sudden turn over of teachers and many of our friends from school have decided to switch districts as well. It seemed all the signs were pointing in that same direction for us. After much research and way too much thinking, the choice was made to transfer to a school in Brighton. Of all the options, this made the most sense because , if we ever move , Brighton would be our first choice. This school has a great reputation and I have several friends whose kids go there as well.And so it was decided ! On ward and up ward! I'm excited to see how all this change plays out.
