Bitter sweetness.

A few days ago, I got some great news!! I found out that the job I applied for is giving me an interview!
There were hundreds of applicants, this is an absolute dream job, and I get to start my nursing career!
This sounds perfect, right? 



Wrong.

What this great news means is that I have to leave Kevin. It means leaving the most beautiful place I've ever been, leaving wonderful friends, leaving the flexible, relaxing life of Dominica.

I have two more days here and it's the most bitter sweet feeling I have ever had. I'm absolutely stoked about this interview but really am not ready to leave. Because flights are so expensive, I won't be coming back if I do not get the job. Kevin is done here in August, so I will stay at home and continue my job search.

The biggest challenge I'm facing is leaving Kevin. It has been so great being here and sharing this experience. He's feeling the same things, very proud and happy for me but he's going to miss having his support system here. We're not looking forward to having a "Skype" relationship again. But we've done it before and we know we can get through it! 

Back to California I go! Wish me luck!
