WE ARE MOVING TO IDAHO!!!
Yes it true, its finally come and Christian finally got a job as a Chiropractor!
Meridian (Boise Area) Idaho to be exact. Its kind of funny when we first came to school we were always looking out for jobs in Idaho--we just love it there. Christian and I have always wanted to end up in Idaho and raise a family there and it so happened that it worked out. Also ID is closer to our families that live in west!
Over Christmas break Christian had interviews with quite a few doctors and we were crossing our fingers for the one in Meridian called Better Life Chiropractic. The reason why we wanted this one so bad was because he was the only doctor that presented us a business plan, training, and a future in Chiropractic. The other docs were offering more money at first but nothing to grow on and for our future. Most just wanted and associate for a couple years and then you start all over. We wanted something more permanent. Honestly we did not think we were going to get this job. The doctor wanted someone right away since his other associate was quitting because his wife got a better job in Northern Idaho. Obviously Christian was not ready right away and he has already interviewed 12 other people for the position. At the end it came down to 2 guys, Christian and another doctor that had been practicing for 4 years and already had his Idaho license. Honestly when we heard that we thought for sure that we had lost the job because this other guy would be ready to work right away. The week that we found this out we were offered 3 other jobs. Another ones in Idaho, Montana, and in Utah. We were looking into these other option because we were sure that we were not going to get the job in Meridian. 3 days later we got a call saying how he was willing to wait for the right person and how he really feels that its Christian! We were so so excited!!!!
Christian graduates on February 22nd two days before our 6th wedding anniversary. Here is where is get tricky though... Since the doc wanted someone right away we compromised and said Christian would come a couple weeks before graduation to start the initial training then come back for graduation. He also has to go out there and find us a place to live and such. He will be staying with his cousin Tara during this time. Yes he leaves as soon as next week and then he will be back the week of graduation. We plan on the graduate, pack up and head out as soon as possible. A little crazy would you say? Not to mention we are trying to put our house up for sale, clean and pack. This will be all left up to me so we are trying to get as much done as we can this week. I am up for the challenge but I am feeling extremely overwhelmed. I'm so thrilled but its all so scary at the same time. I know it will work out. The Lord as blessed us so much!
Honestly you know what he said his selling point was? First it was Christians enthusiasm and passion about Chiropractic. Christian seemed to have a better work ethic then others he interviewed which is totally TRUE! Then he said the second was me..LOL! He said he loved how much I supported my husband and how excited I was about Chiropractic too. He said he loved how we talked and worked together on things. His wife and I really connected too so I think that was a plus.
It's been a long time coming and it seems so unreal. I remember coming to Palmer thinking our time here was never ending and now were here and ready to start our adventure as a family of Chiropractic. Palmer has not been an easy thing for our family at all but now we are finally at the point we have been hoping and dreaming of. Its all coming true and into reality! I can say now its was all worth it because we are so excited about this job! My husband has worked so very hard and totally deserves it! I am so very proud of him! Another cool thing is one of our friends from Palmer already lives and are practicing there so we will have instant friends...YAY!
This is an amazing opportunity for us. His office his huge and busy! He has his own PR person, billing, and amazing staff. His office is managed extremely well and his adjusting techniques fit along with what Christian likes. It will be a great learning and growing opportunity for Christian to be really successful. He got his other associate that was quitting seeing consistently 125 patients in 6 months!! So basically how it going to work is we will get a base salary until he stars seeing patients. The first 2-3 months is learning and training especially with the business side of things. After that we get a percentage of our patients that come in and then when we get to so many we will have a chance to buy in or buy out. He will give up patients and then his PR person will work with us to get him more. He will also pay for Christian to attend seminars and different trainings. Honestly it just what we are looking for and he is such a good genuine honest doc. He was very straight forward and upfront about everything.Want to know a plus too? He is LDS! We felt this was awesome since its always nice to have the same core beliefs.
So we {The Price Family} will be calling Boise/Meridian home for a long long LONG time. It better be ready for our crazy family..LOL!
Cheers to the Gem State of Idaho! Words can no tell you how excited we are to live back in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I guess we might have to learn to like potatoes..LOL!
