Sorry it has taken us so long to update, and I am going to start off by saying this post will have no pictures of Hank…sorry! Our camera came with us but our charger got packed on the moving van, so who knows when we will see it again!
Well, we all made it to Washington safe and sound! Jason, after driving for 3 days and 2400 miles, and Hank and I after a long 7 hour flight (not to mention the two days of packing/moving without Jason before the flight). My wonderful mom, Nana, came with us (and I am not using the word “wonderful” lightly here because she was a life-saver on this trip!) All 4 of us met in Portlnd, OR on Friday night and stayed the night there and then headed up to Centralia, WA the next morning. We are currently staying with Dr. Polley who is the head of the practice where I work. She is so kind and gengerous and opened her home to the entire Bynum family, including one toddler tornado, until we get into our house. And, we will hopefully have a house soon! We actually closed on Monday evening, but we have to wait on Fannie Mae to finish thier part, so we might not get the keys, to said house, until Thursday.
In the meantime, I started my new job and it has been crazy! There is so much to learn, and I am actually a little (make that a lot) out of my league here! But everyone is so kind and very willing to help me in this process, no matter how SLOW I am. This is a good thing and I really couldn’t find a better group of doctors to learn from. One of the really neat parts of the clinic is that it is truly a Christ-centered enviornment. I have been prayed with and for more time than I have been corrected, so I am couting that as a win! Before we left on this journey my dad remided me that God has a history of using “the most unlikely canidates”. So, I constantly remind myself that this is exactly what I am, an unlikey canidate and I want to soley be used by God. And, this makes me feel a little better about my frighteningly obvious lack of skill.
On another note, Jason and Hank are doing really well. Hank has had a little trouble adjusting due to the fact that the sun comes up at 5am and doesn’t retreat until well after 10pm. He also has lived on a diet of french fries and chicken nuggets for a week, and until we can move into our own space this will probably continue. So you can imagine that he has been a little WILD! Considering all of the major life changes he has been through, I think he get major points in the flexability department (many more than his momma!). And, Jason by night is a computer wiz, and by day is the BEST stay-at-home Daddy. I came home from my first day at work and both of them had black eyes! So, needless to say, they are having a blast. Hank is currently OBCESSED with the soccer ball and wants to “kick it” all day every day.
I think that is about all the updating I have in me at the moment but I promise some good pictures as soon as possible.
P.S. It is freezing here and there is NO HUMIDITY. I have seriously been wearing sweaters everyday, which we didn’t actually pack because who thinks to packs sweaters in June?!?! Lucky for us Nana scoped out the local outlet mall and now Hank and I are nice and warm in our long-sleeves!
