As we are still adjusting to life in California, I just wanted to give a little update!
I have started a travel nursing position with Stanford on the Neurosurgery Unit, which means I have a 3 month contract with them. I'm pretty pumped to be able to get in at Stanford to see what it's all about without making a long term commitment yet. So far (just two days of orientation), I am in love! I think my unit is going to be fun and challenging. It is a higher acuity neurosurgery floor that includes a six bed progressive care unit. My first day on the floor is this Tuesday. Let the good times roll!
Chase and I have found a home church called Garden City Church. The pastor, Justin, just concluded a six week sermon series through the book of Jonah. It was life-changing stuff. Just absolutely unreal. Really encouraged us to take a good hard look at ourselves and our mission. We found a neighborhood group through this church and we meet with them every Tuesday. Great people, really honest, and we get to share a lot of laughs (and some tears.)
Chase continues to get a lot of great feedback from the guys who work for him. We are so grateful for their favor towards Chase. He works his butt off at work and tries to maintain a joyful attitude, which, as we ALL know, this can be super difficult with any job. He really loves his guys.
We continue to grieve Kirk's death. We think about him and his family every day. Several times a day. Our hearts ache for their loss, and for the heavy burden they carry, and for the intense loneliness we know they feel. We pray for their comfort and peace. We acknowledge that they will never get over the loss of their son, but with God's grace and provision, they will get through one day at a time. Please lift them up in prayer with us. Their names are Michael, Sandy, and his brother Kyle.
