Decisions

Hello all!
I know I have been a way for a while...Sorry!

There has been a lot going on.
I have had some management changes at work, and yes I have to admit that I have personally been in a funk and slightly bitter since I did not get the promotion I interviewed for. (Part of this bitterness is because of the person who is now my lead.)
Also, work has suddenly become busier, which is GREAT but its taking some getting used to.

I have also started studying (again) for yet another board certified test.... Totally thought I was done with school and tests a few years ago, but this one is my fault for not doing earlier!

I felt the need to document my studying for all of you!!

Anywoo... We have some decisions going on at home too!
Alex & I have somewhat decided that we would like to move out of California.
Part of this is that I, personally, am sick of living here.
The cost of living is high, the taxes are high, and I have lived here my whole life.
As an x-ray/mammography tech I can basically work anywhere in the US (just might need to take another state test depending on where we end up)!
So now we are starting  to research... where to live, where to work, where we will get the most bang for our buck!

This is a slightly nerve wraking process, especially since all of our immediate families live here... I have some family in Utah and Georgia.

At this point I am taking any and all suggestions as to a good place to call home. Our only requirements are not in hurricane or tornado country!

Until next time....

XOXO
