New Year and New Me!!

It has been an extremely long time since I have posted anything here. Dad said the other day that he had checked in and I hadn't posted anything new. I have been posting lots on Facebook, but I know that family doesn't check there since they aren't members. LOL!! I think it is too much for dad and mom. Anyway, 2010 promises to be a GREAT year. It is going to be a year of BIG changes for our family. First, I have graduated nursing school. As of December 11, 2009 I am a college graduate. I have my Associate Degree in Science with an emphasis on Nursing (ASN). I am so blessed that God allowed me to finish this process, granted it was stressful and it took a lot of sacrifices on behalf of me and my family, but we all made it through a little worse for wear. Next, I have to take my nursing licensure exam. I don't have a date yet, but it should be coming. I had a job interview Monday at NICU in Chattanooga. It went very well. They called about an hour after I left and asked me for background check and employment verification permission. I filled out the electronic forms and submitted them. There isn't anything hinky in my past so that shouldn't be any problems. If I pass my boards, I am pretty sure that I will be working in the NICU soon. I am soooo excited that this is a new page in my life. I have always wanted to work in NICU. I know it isn't fun and games and that everyday is life and death in the unit, but I hope that I am a light in the darkness for the babies and the parents that I come into contact with.

I know God has a plan for me and for my family. I also know that God will bless me and my decisions as I travel this road. I hope to keep updating more regularly and keeping everyone up to date as to what is going on in my/our lives.
