It has been a busy few months for us. I am working.......all the time it seems. And, though I love my job, some days are draining (physically, emotionally, mentally) and I need a long time to process the days events and unwind. but, for every bad day there are a few good ones. I really have the best co workers. The group of nurses I'm with have my back.....always. We can rely on each other and support each other in so many amazing ways. And, there are my patients. Some days, I can't believe I get paid to hang out with these amazing, inspiring people. I am learning so much. I am becoming not only a better nurse, but a better person because of them.
But, enough about me. Dave is working full time again at a youth treatment center. The company has been around for 15 years and is well established. He likes the work he is doing, and really gets a sense of satisfaction from working with the boys. I am glad that he is happy. Our stress level is so much better. He is working swing shift, so we have learned to appreciate his cooking so much more.
Theresa graduated from Paul Mitchel Cosmetology School. I am so proud of her for accomplishing her goals and doing whatever it takes to get it done. She faced so many challenges this past year and had so many changes. Her and Zane are planning to move to Portland early this fall. I (we!) will miss them, but I am happy that they are embarking on a new chapter and adventure in their lives together.
Heather is working as a housekeeper at a local resort. She works hard and likes to clean, lol. Imagine that. She spends most of her time hanging out with us, or her and Drew have a night out, or they all hang out at Theresa's and me and Dave get a quiet night alone. She is happy and has a sense of pride in her work. That's all a momma can ask. She is also planning on moving to Portland with Theresa and Zane. I admire her sense of adventure and bravery.
Drew is working full time at a metal manufacturing plant. He gets up and leaves for work before 6 am. Poor guy. But, he was just advanced to supervisor of the wash bay and is doing well. He is amazing at saving money.......something I could learn from him. It is nice to have him take me to breakfast or bring me a treat. He has a great work ethic.
I have so many blog ideas, but never seem to get around to posting them. I will be better, I promise.
