Bring it on

I feel like today was the beginning of something great.  I really wanted to do hospice when I went in to nursing, and today did nothing to change my mind about it.  I won't say too much for right now because it has only been one day- not enough to make a fair judgement.  But, so far, so good :0) 

I will keep you all posted.

Working Girl

     I was so relieved/excited/thankful to get the call on Friday to offer me a position at Alpha Home Health and Hospice as an RN.  I had 2 interviews with them last week, and I thought they went well, but I'm not the best judge of these things.  I can't wait to put these last 2 years of my life to good use.  I am sure hospice will be tough but rewarding work......and it is what has always drawn me to nursing. 

     So, here is the website for the company that has chosen to employ me :  http://www.alpha-hh-hospice.com/alpha-home-health-care.htm/alpha-home-health-care.htm ---check it out !   They seem like a great, well established company.  I am excited to be a part of their team.  I am greatful for this opportunity to serve these patients. 

     My prayers were answered; as well as those prayers for the people that were praying for me.  I am thankful to have God in my life and I feel honored to serve him as I care for my patients and realize my dreams.

Birthdays.....a little late

Drew

     19 years old......where has the time gone? Still loves Halo, addicted to texting, loves to laugh and tease his old mom.  His insight on things can be so profound at times.  I love his sense of humor, his quiet and thoughtful ways and the way he devours my fried eggs.  He makes me laugh every day and reminds me to not take everything so seriously.  He is not afraid to question anything and got me all addicted to Dexter.  This is a year of transition from teenager to adult--I am confidant that you will be successful in whatever path you choose.

We are proud of you, and can't wait to see you take on the world.

Theresa

     So, our baby girl has turned 20.  So many changes this year for her, but she is still our smart,goal-driven, spunky Theresa.  She is tenacious when she goes after what she wants.   Now she is a wife--living in her own apartment and making big plans to take on the world with Zane.  She still stops by just to hang out with her ol'parents and still sits on Daddy's lap when she has had a bad day.  So many things challenged her this year; losing her brother in law at such a young age.  But she was the picture of poise and strength for Zane during those hard times.  We are confidant that she can face anything head-on.
