Mary's Pink Ambition: The Untold Truth: It's a four letter word... home

As many of you probably know, I am now a resident of Fargo, North Dakota. I have accepted a nursing position with Sanford and will be starting on February 13th! I am very excited but very nervous. I have been waiting so long to finally start my career as a nurse, but now that it is here, I am nervous! What if I suck?? But it is a new adventure that I'm sure I will enjoy.

I can't even begin to tell you how difficult it was for me to finally make the decision to apply for a position in Fargo. I had lived in St. Paul my entire life and only lived 15 minutes away from home. I realized that the only way I was going to be able to work in a hospital to get the experience I needed was to apply for a job in Fargo. Thankfully I have several amazing friends up here that I knew I would be able to turn to for anything!

The hardest part of the move was saying goodbye to my family and friends. It was especially hard to say goodbye to my baby, Elvis. That morning I left, I could barely see to drive because I was crying over that dog. Stupid dog. Making me get all attached and what not. BUT!! I have already skyped twice with that cutie pie muffin sugar bear!

Ok. So here I am in Fargo. I have to say that it isn't as bad as you might think ;) Everyone has been so friendly and everything is super easy to find! Everything is within 15 minutes of everything! It's nice and easy for this directionally challenged girl! I have been here 5 days and I have finally completely unpacked AND I have decorated/ hung up stuff on my walls! So far, I am loving my apartment! It is nice and quiet (except for that woman with the 2 kids that she lets run down the hall). I haven't even heard my neighbors yet. So I guess I can say I am happy. We'll see if things change on February 13th ;) Until then, here are some pictures of the new place!!!!
