It is official; today marks exactly four weeks that I have been on my own here in Texas. It has been exactly a month since I moved into my new “home”, and I think I’m settling in fairly well. My little room upstairs is all set up, complete with a bookshelf for all of my lovely textbooks. :- )
Texas and I are becoming better acquainted with one another by the day. (Though I still manage to get turned around fairly easily when not driving directly to work or Wal-Mart, I will confess…but I’ll learn my away around eventually, I feel certain! ;- ) And I’m beginning to settle into my duties at the birth center I’m working at. Life is beginning to fall into a routine of sorts – as much as birth and all of the unpredictability that comes with it can be made “routine”. :- )
Already I’ve had the opportunity to help welcome four little Texans into this world. (Three of which all decided to make their appearances within a little less than 48 hours of each other…) And five more are expected to arrive any day now! It truly is an honor to be allowed to be a part of the welcoming committee that greets a new life upon its entrance into this world.
I’m one month into my year here, and though the transition hasn’t been without its challenges, I must say that I truly feel that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be for this season of my life. And though I’m sure that there will be difficulties and struggles to face in the coming year, I’m equally as sure that I will learn much from my experience. By this time next year I hope to be a better person for my time spent here. :- )

P.S. I know this wasn’t a very exciting or exhilarating post, but…such is life! And life is what I hope to portray here. :- )
