I'm alive

Sorry that posts have been so few and far between. To be honest there is just not a lot going on right now. Jeff is still waiting about youth pastor positions. we are really no closer to knowing where we are supposed to be than the last time I posted... which was almost a month ago! We are remaining patient and relying on God to direct us and provide for us. It is trying at times but God continues to provide for our every need. I have been hired on the medical floors of the hospital as a graduate nurse and begin orientation on Wednesday! It is exciting to finally be making money but it's scary to have so much responsibility. I pray each day that God gives me the knowledge and clarity of mind to make the right decisions for my patients. Other than that we are just hanging out in lethbridge, having fun and waiting. Jeff has also had an array of jobs over the past month including.... selling vacuums... I mean "cleaning systems", making boxes ( that was short lived) and presently deliverying anything and everything you can image. This last one has an added perk. Each time I enter our lovely car I think that there is a nice pizza in the backseat. I love pizza smell!! I think the past month as been a humbling experience for both of us but as long as our bills keep on getting paid I don't think I should complain.

Well, I'm officially done my clinical rotation in the ICU but will have to wait till May 1st to be a grad nurse. But in the meantime I can enjoy my grad photos! Yes it is a little stereotypical but I love it. I wish we still had caps and the whole bit to tell the world where I graduated from! Nowadays everyone looks the same in their scrubs from nurses to surgeons to housekeeping to unit clerks. Caps identified nurses and I sort of wish I actually had one! Still no word on what I'm doing with my life but I'll be working a little bit here. I was on 4C today and boy do I miss ICU. Medical floors are crazy and I never feel like I was a great nurse at the end of the day. A little disheartening. But at least right now I can still learn, have lots of experienced RN's around me and hopefully this will be a little more time to prepare me before I'm in charge of a full patient assignment. Jeff has been wonderful lately. Now that he's unemployed for a bit he's been cooking, cleaning, buying groceries, etc. I tease him about being a stay at home dad!! But he really would be good at it!
