I DID IT!

I FEEL LIKE DORA THE EXPLORER....BUT I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT, YEA!


I HAD ENOUGH OF WORK AND I DECIDED TO QUIT...AND....I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT....



YEA!


That's right...I did it.


My boss received word from me Monday afternoon, and got my official letter yesterday.


The current plan is for me to go back to Same Day Surgery. That is the unit where I met Holly's hubby ,Zo, the day that he received Holly's kidney. And...yes...Holly has okay'd me to break the HIPPA law on that.
I will be per diem again which means no hours are guaranteed, but they are going to try and give me the days I need.
I like Same Day. It is not hard work , just very busy work, which is great for me.
My current boss would like to keep me for two more weeks, which will be hell, but hey, at least there is an end in sight.

Logan, Corey and Bryan


They had a race



Corey has the longest legs...sorry boys




Tonight with Daddy after Ice Cream


Maya thinks she is hot stuff..

I mean...HOT STUFF!


Yes, she should model I think...




This was Sunday morning before we went to my parents

I went to a bridal shower for my friend Lara near my hometown


Everyone got an Alaskan themed cookie from this really cool basket



Jen, Lara, Melissa and me

This picture is an eye opener for me. I eat when I am stressed and I can see it shows here. I appreciate all of you who say I look great, but trust me I can look better. I have and I believe I will again.

Quitting my job is the first step to happiness. Exercising is my next goal.

One last thing, I ask that you all keep my friend Melissa(above with glasses)and her family in your prayers. Her sister had a baby boy yesterday that lived about one hour and then passed.

They knew at 20 weeks that the baby had ancephaly. Infants with this disorder are born without part of their brain. They are usually born stillborn, but can live up to a few days(rare). Melissa's sister who had the baby is named Kelly. She is a beautiful strong girl . Her family all got to hold the baby while alive. The baby was named Aidan Melvin. He was baptized yesterday and the funeral is Saturday.

I cry telling someone about it. It is a horrible thing to go through. All I can do is imagine, and pray for her.

Good for you. I have had jobs I hate too and it really takes a toll on you.

I will add the family to my prayers. A friend of mine went through the same thing almost two years ago. The baby was still-born, but she still had to go through labor and deliver the baby. It was horrible. She is now expecting and her baby is in perfect health. Praise God.

Kerry...Maya IS hot stuff.

Yippieee on the job!!! I know you are happy about that:) Try not to kill that demon woman before you are done at the old job.

I'm so sorry for your friend and her family...I can not even imagine the pain they are feeling.

I am so sorry for your friend Kelly - I cannot imagine what she has gone through for the last 20 weeks - how brave to see the pregnancy through. I am thankful she and her family had a little time with baby Aiden before he passed away. I never will understand why these things happen -
I will keep her and her family in my prayers.

Congrats to you on moving forward with your goals! I am proud of you! Making life changes is big stuff. I am trying to make some myself - taking care of YOU is hard - especially when you have others to take care fo first!!!!
