Inspired

After reading an long time friend of mine's blog (http://www.texaslovebirds.com/ ...check it out) I was, first off, inspired, and decided I need to revamp this sucker. I honestly don't know how people are able to post on their blog everyday (props) but this year I'm going to do my best to post more often. I realize I have been saying this since life got (thankfully) less exciting since getting married and it hasn't happened, but planning a wedding is insane. I imagine the next time I will actually post regularly will be when Baby Batts is on their way...but that will (hopefully) not be for a few YEARS. So, to start, I've been inspired by the aforementioned Carly Skinner, and though I am much less interesting/dedicated/eloquent/etc, I will do my best. I will begin with the year in review. I literally rang in the New Year of 2012 by working the night shift at The Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center. I despised working night shift despite it being a somewhat less busy shift, and shift differential pay. I was not happy there or in Oklahoma City. This was the year that as soon as I (finally) got on dayshift, I got a call from Cook Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth (the last application I put in on night shift.) asking for an interview. I learned that I have more than myself to consider. This was surprisingly hard for me. I though I was made to be a wife. I had dreamed about being married since I was a little girl, but having to weigh my needs and wants with his needs and happiness, it just kind of sucked. That was a hard lesson to learn. But after many prayers, tears (on my part) and big decisions, here we are in Texas. I absolutely love my job and just a few days ago I found a scripture that gives me comfort and hope for our decision to move. "Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying,'This is the way, walk in it.'" Isaiah 30:21 This year I'm going to do my best to trust God in all things I do. This has been a huge struggle for me in the past, so this is the year I will be working specifically on that. (And not biting my nails...again.) Megan
