Pictures

Okay, so I have this friend with an amazing gift. She can take the most beautiful family photos. She took some of my bridals for me oh so many years ago. Anyway, we went up to Ogden this past weekend, and if you are interested in seeing some photos of our family, check out her blog at http://kelliehalesphotography.blogspot.com/2008/11/preview-for-w-family.html. She also has some other photos of other families on there that are beautiful. Anyway, just a little shout out to Kellie... you are amazing girl. I love you and thank you! It was a blast (you are always so much dang fun)!

Yes...Yes...Yes...

I got it! I got the job I really, really, really wanted. I am so excited to start. I'm still not sure how it is all going to work together, but I felt inspired to do it, so I followed my gut and here I am! There are times I start doubting the plan I have set out to do and then my husband reminds me that it came with a lot of prayer and meditation. I am so happy, it all seemed to fall together just right. My first day is December 1st!

The Waiting Game

Has anyone ever played "The Waiting Game"? Dr. Seuss describes it well in "Oh The Places You'll Go!". Where people are just waiting... that is what I feel like I am doing. I interviewed for a job last week and now I am just waiting for them to let me know if I got the job. I am not a fan of the waiting game to be honest with you. This is where I get to learn patience. I have to keep reminding myself that if it is right it will happen! So for all those who are there with me, I can empathize; and for all those who have been there, I am sure you can empathize with me!

Hello again

Okay, so here is the skinny... I have been working toward becoming a CNA. My ultimate goal is to be an RN, but everybody has to start somewhere. I was busy taking a course, doing clinicals, studying for the state exam, taking the state exam and becoming certified (yeah!). So, I have done it. I am officially certified.

Now I have begun the application process. I applied for three different positions at one hospital. I have interviewed for two of those positions. I didn't get the first job (which is good), I wasn't sure how I felt about that unit... so I was okay when I found out I didn't get it. The one I applied for yesterday is on the Surgical/Transplant unit. That may be neat because of my mom's situation; I think it would be wonderful to have a greater understanding of what she will go through and to know how better to serve her. I also think I will be able to empathize with other families going through this whole transplant thing since I am experiencing that now!

I hear back next week whether I got the job or not. I do feel good about this interview; much better than the first one. I felt I totally tanked that one.

Anyway, in the end I figure it is in the Lord's hands where I end up. I am trusting He will place me in the perfect place at the perfect time in the perfect way. I'm not sure how that will look, but I will just keep applying and trying to get on board at a hospital!
