Changes

I can't believe I have not updated this thing in so long! So much has happened!

I GRADUATED!! I have my BSN and I'm ready to change the world!! It doesn't really feel finished yet because I still have to study for and take my state boards. Also the orientation process is pretty long, so it will be a while before I think I will feel like a real nurse. I know I will feel scared, nervous, and anxious, but I'm excited to begin this new journey. My graduation present is a neeeeew camera!! And it is amazing!

The Job: My job fell through, and my manager didn't inform me until two days before graduation. Yay. The unit I was supposed to be working on is closing (I still have no idea why)so I was told to find another position. So now I have an interview on Monday for a cardiac floor which I'm pretty excited about. I think God has a better plan than I had for myself.

Good-byes: Some of our very best friends, Faith and Aaron, are moving far, far away. I don't think I've ever had to deal with a friend moving away, so I know this will be hard. Brad and I have fallen in love with this family! :(

Vacation: We went on a 5-day vacation with the Faith,Aaron and Brittany and all the kids! It was a so much fun! Someone at work asked why in the world we would go on vacation with adults that had kids, but we had a blast! We truly love those kids! We went to Dollywood and WonderWorks, and we went shopping one day (well, kind of two days) The cabin was great and the weather was beautiful! Oh, and Faith dyed my hair brown :)
