So... a neat little story to share that coincides with something from this past week.
As you all may know, we up and moved over a county and Cory started working as a firefighter for a dept in Oconee County (where I work as an EMT now) in March. We had moved into our apartment 2 weeks previously and then had to move to the townhouse (not to mention this was a 3rd story apartment) so it was quite the ordeal. Well, about a month-month and a half ago Cory was working in his department when someone walked up to him and said "Oh wow you've gained a lot of weight in the past 3 years". He just looked at this guy with his marine stare I'm sure lol (and no he's not fat, he just used to be a twig) and the guy automatically asked him how he couldn't recognize his roommate from Iraq. Turns out, one of our paramedics/FTOs at Oconee was Cory's roommate for a little bit of time in Iraq. Klaren didn't live here at the time and they had no clue that the both of them lived in South Carolina, but 8000 miles away they reunited 3 years later. He went out to the range with Klaren and his wife Thursday and had a blast. All while I slept the day away from working the previous night at the hospital.
How cool is that though?!?
Anyways, nothing around here. Was just told I officially have the offer for job #3 with the state's largest ambulance organization. We'll see.... otherwise it's work work work. Cory found a new truck (well, new to us) so we're working on getting that. We are so thankful for our friends Jennifer and Charlie for helping us with this. Having one car would work out great if I didn't have one job that is 45 minutes to a hour away and I work 7p to 7a at the hospital while Cory works 8a to 8p at the FD and then has a job 2 hours away in Columbia at the academy.
I promise that I'm not neglecting comments, I'm just have a little trouble learning how to sign in and etc. Anyways, it's 0142 and I'm tired! I worked 12 today (7a to 7p), 10 yesterday (9a to 7p), I work 12 tomorrow night (7p to 7a), and then 12 on Wednesday (7a to 7p). I work the weekend but at least I have Tuesday and Thursday off!
