New Beginnings

I decided to continue working at Children's Mercy on 4 Henson where I have been for the past 2 years as a care assistant. I really Love working with the amazing kids & it is a great floor to get experience on. I am working nights, which has been a change for our house, but it is more money & slower paced, which is good for learning. I have also excepted a job with a local Home Health place & will do that on a per visit basis. I have completed my 1st week of a 15 week orientation at Mercy this past week. It is a little overwhelming right now, so many things to learn! But I have a really great preceptor who is very patient & knowledgable. I won't be starting training at the home health job until mid Janurary, but that will be good giving me a few weeks on the floor to get my feet wet. So far I am loving it!
I am taking a Kaplan class the 1st week in Jan. to help me prepare for boards. It comes with a gurantee of passing, so I figured it definantly couldn't hurt! I am not looking forward to boards!

Dustin has started learning how to do blue prints at work. He seems to really be enjoying it & is excited about adding more knowledge to what he already knows. He does a "class" once a week in the evening & then brings home blueprints to practice on. He hopes to boarden his responsibilities at Sun!

GRadUatIoN!

Graduation was really nice! It was December 1st at the Majestic Theater in Zona Rosa. We had a Party at our house afterwards thru the afternoon & evening. Many more people came than I expected & it was really an amazing feeling to know that everyone cared so much.

*I have been trying for an hour to get up pictures & it is not working for some reason. I will try again another day!
