Did You Hear?

Scientists spend $2.4 mil to test the power of prayer in healing. Wonder where they got the money to blow on this "experiment"....

Night Shift

I have completed 2 night shifts now at the hospital. I love it! I kind of get into a slump at like 5:00am, but then I just refuel or get some caffeine and I'm fine. It is very quiet but, despite what most people think, there are a lot of patients who do not sleep at night. Some of the nurses do though. I can't nap it because I think if I fell asleep I wouldn't be able to truly wake up and be productive. I just try to sleep enough between shifts and chug on through. Maybe once I start working and having kids, the nap breaks will be more enticing.

I want to build an indoor mini-mall complete with food court (with all the traditional favorites), clothes stores, movie theatre, and other fun things for all the people out there who work the night shift. Night shift cops, nurses, housekeeping, military personnel, factory workers, firefighters, etc... all need places to go and hang out at 3-4 am when they aren't working.

Sorry I'm rambling in this blog. I've been up all night and all day and I'm pretty tuckered out. Goodnight! (or is it good morning????)

HAPPY TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY RANDOLPH!

I love you more than words will every say. You have made my life wonderful and I look forward to many more years (like atleast 80) with you.

Missing you tonight, Pookie Bear. xoxo

Thank You!

Randy and I finally moved this past weekend to a much much bigger place. We wouldn't have been able to get it all done if it hadn't been for the following people: Jacquie, Randy Sr., Martha, Jared, Nick, Jen, Andy, and John. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (Randy thanks you too!)- we couldn't have asked for better friends/family. We love you!
We really appreciate all your help! :-)

I'm Back!

Did ya miss me?

Even Randy shed a tear on this one. Get the kleenex ready!

Life

Today I helped code (bring back to life) a 30 day old baby boy.
He survived. Praise God!

Another day in the life of a nurse.
