Meet Laila!

We have a new member of the family. We are having so much fun with her. Housetraining is going well, she is a little doll!

Pain in the....back?

So...woke up about a week ago with pain so bad that I could hardly move. My first thought was that it was my kidneys again. Turns out after tests, that it is not my kidneys, but some sort of back pain. It is unbearable. I haven't been able to work in over a week and I am so annoyed to have to be laying in bed all day!

I went back to the doctor today and he took x rays, gave me more medicine and a steroid shot, and is setting me up with an MRI sometime this week. He thinks my job might have put strain on my back. It involves a lot of lifting, bending, standing, and picking up kids and it may not be something I can physically do.

However, not sure what we are going to do if I lose this job. I will have no health insurance and David and I will both be without an income! Yikes! Please pray for us, I am scared, but I know God is in control! love you all!

Nurse Appreciation Week

So this week is Nurse Appreciation week. It is very nice that this day exists, nurses work very very hard with very little appreciation. Because basically we take care of cranky, sick people. It can be a very frustrating job, but it can also be very rewarding.

I cannot believe it has almost been a year since I have graduated, wow, time flies. And let me just say nursing school is nothing like nursing. Not even close. Nursing school is a breed of it's own, yuck.

So the hospital gift to us was these really cool bags (three of them) for groceries. They are really big and insulated to keep hot foods hot and cold food cold. I really love them, it will be great shopping with them. They also gave us a porcelin (sp?) travel coffee cup. Both the bags and the cup have a Children's logo on them which is the best part. I am so proud to work for a hospital that does so many great things for children.

Happy Nurse Week everyone! Go hug a nurse!

Wednesdays are hard!

So here it, my longest day of the week, Wednesday. The day begins at 5:00 am when my alarm goes off...45 min later I leave for work. After working until 3:15 I come and hang out at my parents house until Dave gets done with worship practice. We then eat dinner, then he has choir practice. After that we head to Epoch to teach small groups...usually we don't get done until 8:30 or after. Then I FINALLY get to go home, take a shower, and get things ready for the next day.

On non-Wednesdays I am in bed my 8 or 8:30 (because I get up so stinking early) but on Wednesdays it is much later. Which pretty much means Thursdays are hard. Ugh, don't get me wrong I love the girls in my group and I am so happy to have them, but man, I am exhausted by the end of the day. I almost dread Wednesdays now because it feels like a marathon. Something is going to have to give, but I do not want to give up my group. Maybe I'll just have to hit Starbucks before church for that extra jolt...

Just a job...

So, I am having a hard time at work. I just dread it, it's so hard. I know, I know, I am new and it will get better. That is what everyone says, but not sure it will. It is so different than "real nursing". I loved floor nursing in practicum, but this is just crazy. I keep thinking it's because it is just new and different, but what if I never like it?

To tell you the truth. I just want to be a stay at home wife. I want to be able to cook, clean, and have time to work on stuff that I want. Our apartment is a mess, I never feel like cooking, and I am miserable all the time. Is this normal? There is just no way right now that I can quit, we need the money.

My husband says to look at this as "just a job". To let the criticism and stress roll off my back and to just go for the paycheck. As sad as it is, I am just going to have to take his advice. I care too much. I care that I am miserable, that I feel like an idiot, and that the kids I see are really sick...ughh, not been a good day!

What? All by myself?

So...work is crazy. Really, really challenging because nursing school teaches absolutely nothing about the OR. It is so much to learn, orientation for a new nurse is supposed to be 6-7 months or longer.

Well...summer is almost here. Summer is H-E-double hockey sticks apparently in the OR because all the kids are out of school and have time to have surgeries. So, basically they are going to be short staffed. Guess what that means? They are freezing my orientation and making me staff a room all alone. AHH! Now, they are saying they are going to stick me in easy Eyes and Plastics rooms (the team I am joining after orientation) and Dental rooms (really boring) and that I will be fine. I hope so, I still feel like I know absolutely nothing. After the summer, I still have to finish orientation, so that means I wont be done until late Fall.

Anyway, tomorrow I guess is a trial run. They are putting me in an eye room (my favorite, not sure why) by myself with a good scrub person and hopefully all will go well. Fingers crossed!

New Project

So, I have been watching Dancing with the Stars as usual this season. I have always liked Kate Gosselin. I know she is not perfect and she has made her share of mistakes over the last few years. I just feel like I have this weird connection with her, not sure if it's because she is a nurse, a type A personality, or just the way she loves her kids. But, I have always been fascinated with her and very defensive of her.

She is going through a messy divorce with someone who was not faithful to her. She is being drug through the media and photographers follow her around all the time and she has still tried to show a brave face to her 8 little children. Anyway, I did not think she was the best dancer, but she represented all of us who try. I would have looked just about like her or worse out there.

So, this brings me back to my lastest project. I was watching DWTS on Tuesday and saw that she got the boot, she cried her eyes out and my heart went out to her. I felt as if the Lord was telling me to start praying for her. Not just a little prayer every once in awhile, but really interceding for her and her children. She used to go to an assemblies of God church faithfully, and maybe she has fallen away from the church recently, but I belief she knows the truth. I also believe she is in a real crisis right now and needs to be lifted up.

So, that is what I am going to do. It may sound stupid, but she needs our prayers, not our criticism. So, I am now praying for Kate as well as Maddy, Cara, Alexis, Hannah, Leah, Aiden, Collin, and Joel. I am as well adding Jon to the list. Just feels like something I should do. Who knows where it will lead if anywhere.

Back to the land of the living!!!

So, after 2 weeks of intense pain, taking pain medicine, and feeling down right sick....drumroll please.....I AM SO MUCH BETTER!!!

I ended up having to stay in the hospital for two nights. It was definitely very weird being on the patient side of healthcare, it was very eye opening. The nurses and my awesome doctor took very good care of me and pumped me full of IV fluids and antibiotics. The conclusion was that I had a very bad kidney infection and for some reason my body wasn't tolerating the oral antibiotics I was taking.

Now, I am back at home and going back to work tomorrow. They are going to let me do some computer classes for a week or two and not make me go right back to all the craziness of a regular day! I am glad I am going back to work on a Friday that way I do not have the pressure of a whole week, just one day and I can rest on the weekend!

I am really going to start spending more time on this blog...I really enjoy it and like being able to go back and seeing the year and things I would've not remembered or thought about.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for me during the last few weeks! Love you!

Kidney Infection

So, I woke up today with a horrible pain in my back and right side, a headache, and feeling sick to my stomach. Thinking it would go away with some coffee and Tylenol, I got up and got ready for church. During the course of the morning the pain got more and more severe. I was in tears by 12 and we decided to go to the doctor.

Turns out after urine tests and blood work that I have a kidney infection. Man, never thought these could be so painful. The doctor gave me an antibiotic shot, antibiotic meds, and some pain medicine. I was told to drink lots of water and stay home from work tomorrow. I then had to call work and tell them what happened, and they were very understanding. I have taken the medicine, drank the water, and boy oh boy I am still in severe pain! The doctor told me that if I wasn't better in a couple days to come back and they would check for stones.

I am really hoping I start feeling better, don't want to miss anymore work. I am already taking off Friday so Dave and I can go to a worship conference in Florence. I think I am just going to stay in bed all day tomorrow, although I know I will be tempted to do housework, I did dishes tonight, probably shouldn't have pushed it, but they were driving me crazy! Nurses make the worst patients!

American Idol and a Blog

So today was good. I am still having a hard time waking up in the morning. I go to bed before nince everynight and you would think I would wake up feeling pretty rested. I mean that's eight hours of sleep, but no, I wake up feeling like a zombie. I think no matter what time you go to bed...when you wake up at 5 am, you will be tired. That really sucks.

Work is starting to develop a routine. I am scrubbing this week and it can be very frightening, but I am holding my own. I can't believe I have been there 3 months now. Wow, 3 or 4 more months and I will be done with orientation and on my own...a very scary thought!

On another note, I got my vacation week approved!!! We are officially going to Disney at the end of June. I am so exited because: 1) It is our first vacation together, 2) David has never to two of the parks and never spent a whole week there, and 3) I LOVE Disney World. We are so blessed to be able to stay in an amazing condo in Orlando which is only a few miles from the partks! Can't wait!

Worst blogger in history...

I am so bad about updating this thing. Which stinks, because I really like blogging, but I never seem to find the time to just sit down and do it. While watching Julie and Julia again for the second time I was inspired to start my blogging back up. I was also inspired to start cooking some new recipes, but how can you not while watching that movie.

Man, this weekend has gone by WAY too fast. But, it always does...how is that possible? I feel like the week goes by so stinking slow and then am SO excited it's the weekend, blink my eyes, and it is over.

Work is stressing me out. I know I take it way too personal. I shouldn't care so much, but I hate feeling like I have no clue as to what I am doing. I wind up feeling like a moron all day. I am hoping I get the swing of it soon, I have already been there for three months...now I am about halfway through orientation. Wow, that is a scary thought.

Dave and I are doing well. I seriously married the most amazing man in the world. We just celebrated our 6 month anniversary and I love him more today than I could ever imagined. He helps me out so much and he is there when I need him. We are having so much fun being married...so cool living with your best friend.

Anyway, I need to be heading towards bed soon. 5:00 am comes very soon. I am going to try to update this thing at least once a week, but I have said that before. Love you all!

Ok, I haven't posted in FOREVER!

Man! It's been too long. I am going to try to keep this thing updated!

I am loving the married life and just trying to find a job! I know God has the right one for me.

I will leave you with a pic from the wedding. Didn't I have the most beautiful wedding cake ever? Ok, so I know I am partial! Love you all!

We are moving to B'ham!

That's right! David and I will be starting our married life back home. Why? Well, we feel like God wants us here. I am hopefully going to get a job at Childrens Hospital (dream job) and David is looking for a job.

So, I am home job hunting this week and probably will live at home for awhile so I can save some money before having to find our own place!

We are very blessed and this transition is very hard, but very exciting! David is excited about working and learning from Micah at church and we know God has a master plan for us!

Wedding planning is going amazing! Things just falling into place...God is good! More updates to come! Stay tuned!

I am ENGAGED!

So, most of you probably already know, but I am engaged! David proposed to me and I said yes, of course. I wanted to write a little blog about how he did it because I know everyone wants to know.

We are in Long Beach this weekend and I met with the pastor's wife this morning about children's church (David set this up to occupy me, but I didn't know at the time). I spent the morning with her talking about children's church, cirriculum, etc. and then David called me and said to meet him at the church when we got done and we would go to lunch. I left and headed for the church still completely clueless.

I walked into the church (with an armload of Walmart bags) and noticed that there was rose petals scattered in the sanctuary. I immediately knew what was about to happen and started shaking. Literally, my knees turned to jello. I then started calling out for David and he never answered so I walked in the sanctuary and their were rose petals scattered everywhere and candles lining the aisle. I got to the front, where the alter is, and there was a table set up with pictures of us, ticket stubs to movies we went to, restaurant reciepts, and cards I had given him. I turned around and David was coming up the aisle playing his guitar and singing "All I Want is You" which is the first song he ever sang to me.

He started telling me how the guitar can be enjoyed by people listening to it and but it wasn't plugged in so only the people there could hear it. When you plug it in, the whole world can enjoy it. He said it was time for the world to know about us and time for us to start our life together. He reached in the guitar and pulled out the ring (it was tied to a string) and then got down on one knee, told me how much he loved me, and asked me to marry him.

BTW, of course the whole time this is going on I am crying, covering my mouth with my hands, and shaking like a leaf. I couldn't even form the word "yes" I just started nodding. He slipped the ring on my finger (which is BEAUTIFUL) and of course there was lots of hugs, kisses, and excitement! Then the phone calls started! It was absolutely perfect and something I will always remember! I am probably leaving out details and he could tell it better, but I was having an out of body experience!

We are getting married September 25, which is only 5 months away! I have a lot to do before then, but we really didn't want a long engagement. Just pray I find a job fast!!!

Love you guys!

Haven't updated in awhile...

So, sorry I haven't written in awhile. This one will be short, but I wanted to give a quick update.

I am DONE with practicum (except for finishing up my final paper) and winding up most of my other classes, graduation here I come!

Tomorrow is David and I's anniversary! We have been together a whole year. We celebrated with dinner and a movie tonight and decided to give each other Easter Baskets as anniversary gifts in the morning, because our anniversary falls on Easter this year. Thanks babe for a GREAT year! You are the best! Pictures to come!

Any ideas?

So, next Sunday we are having a potluck lunch at the church. I was wondering if any one had any good ideas on something I could bring. I will probably make my famous chocolate chip cookies that everyone at the Way goes nuts for, but I need a main dish. The thing is, that I would have to cook it that morning and it won't be eaten until lunch, so it needs to be good until then. I am stuck!

David's class...

Strange simulation today...

So, today's METI simulation was strange. Our patient (the METI dummy) was a pregnant woman who had been in a car accident at 22 weeks, had just done cocaine, and who was bleeding. As we were trying to save her, her lesbian partner (played by an instructor with lots of costume get-up) busts in and starts freaking out. Me and my friend Ashley move in to help calm her down (the other students were working with the "patient") and she is just hysterical. Then, the mom of the patient (played by another teacher) comes in and starts freaking out.

I stayed with the mom, calmed her down, and pulled her away from the patient so they could get labs. Then the two woman start fighting with each other. Me and Ashley had to pull them apart and talk to them seperately. It was crazy. This simulation went on about 30 min. or shorter, but it felt like forever.

When it was over the instructors said our group did so well! We calmed down the partner and the mom and were supportive, but firm. It was a lot of fun, but SO funny seeing the faculty like that. I think they were the ones having fun, they got to be actors for the day.

So retarded!

Nothing make me more mad then when nurses are portrayed like this. It is so unrealistic and I just want to take these people on a 12 hour shift and see how they look after that. Nurses are one of the hardest working group of people on the planet. If you disagree with that, then go see for yourself. They hardly ever sit down, are constantly thinking all the time, and are lifting, changing, and controlling very stressful situations. It is definitely harder than I once thought.

Today I have to go to a METI simulation. METI man is a dummy that breathes, blinks, pees, has pulses, veins, etc... He allows us to practice on him and sometimes he lives, sometimes he dies. Today we have an extra stressor placed on us...an irate family member (played by an instructor)...We have to save METI and control the family member at the same time. It should be interesting. Hopefully he'll live.
I really do not want to have to go. It's all the way in Fairhope! Oh well, hope everyone is having a good day!

Pics from this past weekend!

I went to Birmingham this past weekend and had a great time!
We watched the Sims' kids and had fun (right before I cut myself and ending the day in the ER)...The kids are the cutest and I had a great time playing with Addyson, Carsyn, and Brayden!







I also got to wake up Sunday morning to see this out my windows! SNOW! BEAUTIFUL SNOW!






Then I had Malorie's bridal shower! She got lots of good stuff and everyone loved the cake my mom made!

Valentine's Surprise Part C!

Part C was that David bought us tickets to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. I had been telling him how much I have been wanting to see that movie (I have read ALL the books) and he took me! It was really good (but a lot different than the books). He also bought me a Diet Coke at the movie and brought it to me. I tasted it and it was Regular coke and he took it back and got me a Diet one (I guess the lady heard him wrong). He was super sweet for going to see such a girly movie with me...he even posed with some pics with me! Yay for a GREAT Valentine's Day! Thanks David, I love you more than words can say! You rock!

Valentine's Surprise Part B!

After breakfast, we took our time getting ready for the day and just had fun hanging out. We decided on O'Charleys for lunch. While waiting to order a server came by and gave us a free appitizer (the homemade chips with chili, cheese, and cilantro). I am not sure why we were gifted these, but I think they made one by mistake. We gladly accepted and they were delicious. David ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta, I ordered the Pecan Chicken Salad and of course we ate a roll as well (how can you not?). We had so much food left over.

Next we went shopping at a few different stores. Next, David told me to go out and have fun while he "got a few things ready". I dropped him off at my apartment and went to get a pedicure! That was my dad's gift to me and I loved it! Here is a picture of my toes afterwards...



I then shopped a little more until David called to say he was ready and I could come back. I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened the door, but I wasn't expecting anything so amazing. I opened the door and the whole apartment was lit up with candles...tons of candles. A CD was playing our favorite songs and there was dinner on the table. David was nowhere to be found. I called his name and he came into the living room all dressed up. I was speechless. Literally. I just froze. He came over and took my purse and shopping bags out of my hands and we danced. It was the most romantic thing ever...like out of a movie. Here are a few pics...but the pics do not do the room justice!






Then we ate. He had gone to Moes (that's where we went on our first date) and gotten us both chicken nachos! They were yummy! Then he told me I could open part C!

Valentine's Surprise Part A!

David had a day full of surprises planned all out for me for Valentine's Day! This is part A. I woke up Saturday morning and David came in and we started talking about breakfast. I finally went into the kitchen to make some coffee and cook breakfast and this is what was on my kitchen table! Ignore the mess on the table...I was in the middle of laundry from the day before. He surprised me with a dozen pink roses (my favorite), a cute teddy bear, and a box of chocolates! LOVE HIM!



Here is a pic of my roses when I put them in some water.



Then I decided to go ahead and let him open his present. I got him a big bag full of goodies! His favorite candies and snacks mixed with a few odds and ends. Of course, he got a mushy gushy card as well!



Then I finally got around to making breakfast. David wanted a Toaster Strudel so I made the icing into a heart and cut up some yummy oranges for him. Of course he wanted milk to drink (he loves milk)! I made myself some cheese toast (which I burned) and some coffee! Then I awaited part B!

Bad Mood!

I am in a stinking bad mood right now...Here is a blog dedicated to it! I normally try to look at the positives, but all of this is contributing to my moodiness...

1) I have a monster headache right now and nothing is cutting it!
2) I need to be writing my midterm paper right now and just don't want to...
3) I bought a black shirt for Senior pictures today, but it isn't exactly what I wanted.
4) I have to speak at David's church in a couple of weeks to a bunch of people who hardly know me and am nervous.
5) I miss my family!!!!
6) I hate when friendships die...it shouldn't be happening like this...
7) I need a hug and no one is here and won't be for days.


Ok...not so bad when I look at it! I am doing ok, just a little lonely! Next post will be happier, I swear!

Update!

So, I haven't blogged in awhile. I have just been too busy! Practicum is going great. I love working with the kids and am learning so much. I already have 72 hours, so I am almost halfway done. It is sad sometimes to see all the kids with cancer and other chronic diseases, but knowing you are making a difference is very rewarding. I love it!

I do not love the weather and the cold that is going around. I am sick, yet again. David is sick too. I am going to MS this weekend and I am sure the weekend will consist of cuddling under blankets, cold medicine for two, and watching movies in between naps! It will be nice to see Dave, I miss him SO much!

I love it!

So, I officially love being a nurse. Practicum went awesome. I love the nurse I am working with and love getting to take care of the kids. It is so much fun!

I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so I will be completely wiped out when I am done! Thanks for all your prayers!
