One Year! Holy Moly!

Has it really been a year since I have written anything? Life has been so crazy
Stephen and I have lived in midland for a little over a year now. We have lived in a hotel, an apartment, a trailer, and finally a home.
A little explanation for all the moves... if you haven't heard Midland TX is booming, like Alaska gold rush booming. People are literally having to live in hotels, trailers and right outside of town they even have a man camp! I won't go into detail about how crazy it is living here, you can google it.
Stephen is working as a supervisor at a oil company here in town, he absolutely loves his job! I am working in the ER as a tech, and given the boom, I get to see a LOT of crazy things.
We bought our house about 6 months ago now. We rent out rooms to a few boys who can't find a place to stay or can't afford it (a one bedroom apartment has a 3 month waiting list and is about $1,300 a month...) being in their shoes only a year ago we took pity on them, and given they work in the oil field they are gone all the time anyways so it seems like they are never here anyways.
I am also going to school working toward my BSN, I find out if I got into nursing school sometime this month (so pray pray pray!)
We miss our families and our hometown, but we have been so blessed while living here. Our dream is to move home one day to be closer to our families and back in our beautiful Washington. But considering the fact Washington is not drilling for oil, we will be here for a while. I trust God's plan for us is to be here, at least for now, and knowing that brings me much needed peace, I just need to be reminded of that sometimes.
