Ohhhhh, hey.
Where you been?
Blogland, I've been busy. I finished my schooling and training and am now working as a real nurse full time. I have two more orientations for the graveyard shift and then they are setting me free on my own. ON MY OWN. What a big girl, I am.
I enjoy my job so much more when I'm working as a nurse than when I'm working as an aide. I enjoyed being an aide, but needed more satisfaction. And, I definitely get that from nursing. It's such a great feeling having patients trust me and having them ask ME questions, as if I have the answers. And then, being able to actually answer their questions is such a neat experience. Makes me feel like all my hundreds of years of school is finally worth it. Yessssss!
Cade has stopped working as much so he can focus on school. He was working 6 days a week, 4 hour shifts. He was going go to school in the morning, rushing home to eat some lunch and then going to work at 5pm-9pm. Then coming home for dinner, shower and bed. That leaves about 0 time to study. Poor guy. So, we decided it would be best if he only worked 2 days a week and then spent the rest of his time studying. Which, has paid off greatly.
He took his entrance exams for Graduate School in November and he did extremely well. That boy can test better than anyone I know. I sure hope our children get his genes, and not my test-anxiety-can't-focus-on-a-single-thing genes. Cade is super smart though, one of my favorite things about that boy.
He has one more semester at WSU and then we decide where he will be going for Graduate School. That may involve moving outside my little comfort zone, which is slightly nerve racking. Never have I been more than 10 miles from Ogden. Ever. Here's to new adventures.
So, that's our life in a nutshell. Things are trucking right along and we are just living the dream every day. Pretty excited about life and super excited about our first Christmas together.
'Tis the season, friends.
