Big News

Hello again everyone! I am definitely on a blogging role here. (Granted I have nothing else to do with my time... all I do is clean the house 5 times a day, and journal. Ha!)

Anyway, the finale of these blog updates is another big change that will be happening this coming year for Ty and I. The last semester I researched and applied to a few different internships. Two hospitals Texas and one residential facility in Pennsylvania (Bethany Children's Home). To be honest, when I applied I just had a good feeling about Pennsylvania and truthfully I didn't put a whole lot of effort into the other internship applications. I got a call from Bethany Children's Home for an interview around mid-May and I was super excited! The interview (I thought) went really well. They said they would be calling me at the beginning of June sometime to let me know their decision. 

Well, mid/late-June hit and I began feeling scared I didn't get the internship. Last week I even began researching online again for some other options that would be similar to Bethany's. 

Then this past Sunday night I had a dream... (yes I like being dramatic!)

I actually dreamed that I had been given the internship and I literally remember feeling SO RELIEVED!!! Monday morning arrived, Ty went off to work, and I stayed home and began my cleaning rituals. I was in the middle of doing the dishes when my phone rang in the other room. I couldn't get to it fast enough so it went to machine. I looked at the number and immediately recognized the area code as being Pennsylvania. I got so excited and literally sat down holding my phone waiting until it signaled that there was a voice mail. 

After that DING signaled the message, I listened to it intently and literally screamed when it registered that they were offering me an internship position. I was by myself jumping, yelling, and balling!! I am sure if anyone was watching they would have thought loony bin for sure!

Anyway, (wow that was a LONG explanation... I apologize) the end to this long blurb is that Tyler and I will be moving to Wormelsdorf, Pennsylvania in January of 2012. I think both of us are a little scared for this new adventure... but are also ecstatic that we have been given such a great opportunity! 

If any of you are interested in reading a little about Bethany Children's Home and what I will be doing, their site is HERE. You will also find great information specifically on their Music Therapy program HERE.

Till Next Time...
