HOME AT LAST!

Hello everyone!
This is NOT an ITALY post yet, but just a late post letting everyone know that I am back living in the NW. Miguel accompanied me on the long drive home at the beginning of this month. We stayed in Tucson for a few nights for his friend's wedding, then a night in Vegas (at NY,NY hotel. Never been before to Vegas, it was pretty awesome!), then in Portland and finally home! I am happy to be back in the NW to start a new chapter in my life, though I was very sad to leave San D. I am going to be starting my job in about two weeks working through a travelling company as a per diem nurse at Swedish on the Critical Care floors (not to be confused with ICU.) Since I am working through a travelling company, I have the option at anytime to just pack up and take a travelling assignment wherever I please. The per diem option, which I am going to be doing at least until early spring, does not require me to work any holidays and I basically call in every week and give them a list of the shifts I want to work that week. It's an AWESOME option for this time of year (winter holidays) and I will reassess if I still want to be per diem or travel somewhere in the spring. And on top of it all, I won't miss out on FUN FAMILY FUNCTIONS anymore! SO HAPPY and EXCITED to be back around!
Feel free to visit me at my new home on West Lake Samammish. Some of you already know it as Uncle Ed and Aunt Liz's! :)
Gotta get to bed, this jet lag is killin.
PS: Italy blog will come soon!
PPS: Colleen, BLOG THE WEDDING! Still so sad we missed it. :(

Caitlin, you are really pretty funny, when it comes down to it. I can hear you talk when I read your emails. I think you are hillarious, and I still want to name one of my kids after you, but now that they are all mexicans, I am going to have a hard time saying, "here are my kids, Patricio, Elena, Paco, Sancho, Guadalupe, Juan, Pablo, and Caitlin..." So what does a interracially married man do?
