Two Oregonians?!

I can't eat.  I can't sleep.  My heart feels like it's going to jump out of my chest.  I'm excited, but that is mixed with sadness.  We are moving from the 208 area code to the 541.  From IDAHO to OREGON!  On the coast!!  I was chosen and accepted a job as a full time dental hygienist in Coos Bay, Oregon!  We have less than a week to move.  My brain is working overtime trying to figure out what we need to take on this inital trip and what can be left behind for a couple of months.  Jake will come with me until we find a place and get settled (since I will be working all week it will be his responsibility to scout us out a place to live), but then he will return to Idaho to get the house ready to be rented. 

I don't know how to feel!!  When I first found out, I cried!  Several times, in fact.  Now I can tell people without crying, but they were happy tears, not sad ones.  I have been searching for a full time job or at least several part time jobs so I could be working full time for almost two years now, and this job is the answer to so many prayers.  It offers medical, dental, and vision benefits, as well as 401k and vacation pay.  If you are in the dental field, you know this is close to unheard of!!  Many dental offices do not offer benefits, or the benefits are limited to in-house dental and vacation pay.  This is exactly the job our family needs right now, and I am excited to get started, but sad to leave Idaho, the place I was born and raised, and love with all my heart.  I hope I learn to love Oregon as well, and that our dogs will adjust to everything okay.  I am most worried about them I think.  And I will miss my friends and family dearly, but this a such a good thing for us!
