YES!!!!

Thanks for your prayers for my dad he had surgery and it went great. He feels so much better he stayed a few days in the hospital and is now home. My trip to Florida for the day was so tiring. I had to fly out at 5:50 in the morning and then I had a lay over in Atlanta for two hours but my plane got delayed even longer so I spent three hours by myself in the airport at Atlanta, which was not very fun. Then I had my interview and my hospital was amazing. It is only three years old and it is so neat. After the interview I caught a cab back to the airport. I was just ready to get home to Chris but then, when I got to Atlanta my plane was delayed several hours due to the terriorst stuff happening. The alarms went off in the airport and everyone in the airport had to stand still because they said we all had to be cleared due to security reasons. So my flight did not get in to Indiana until the early morning. I was so tired, but all that was worth it because today I recieved a call from my hospital and they offered me the job, plus they offered me more money because my interview went so well. I start September 5!!!!!!

Please Pray

My dad has heart issues and he has for a long time. He had his first open heart surgery when he was 36 and he has had 10 or more heart caths. He has not been feeling well lately and went for his routine yearly stress test and the doctor did not like the results therefore he is going in tomorrow morning for another heart cath. His heart is not that strong and they already know he needs surgery but they have tried to put it off for as long as possible because of the risk and because his heart has already been through one major surgery. So tomorrow they will find out when they are going to perform surgery or they will see if they can just fix his heart enough during the cath and maybe that will hold for another year. My dad is a strong man and he is a believer and says he is ok but I can tell he is scared of the unknown. Please just pray for his heart cath and that God would work in him to repair the damage in his heart. I know God gave me a new heart and I would love to see that happen for my dad. My dad means the world to me, I love him so much please just keep him in your prayers. Thanks for your prayers.

I found an exciting job!!!

Ok so sorry everyone that I have not been writing but I have been kind of busy. So anyway, I thought I was going to work at Arnold Palmer childrens hosptial in Florida and I was excited but then I recieved a call the next day about another job I had applied for. It is at M.D. Anderson Center, it is an Oncology hospital. They treat all ages for cancers and that is the field of nursing I am interested in. I eventually want to work in children's oncology but this just opened up and I truly believe for right now this is where I am supposed to be. I had two phone interviews and the lady really liked me, so I am flying down on Wednesday just for a few hours to interview in person and to see the hospital. They are getting ready to open a brand new chemothearpy and radiation wing and want me to help get it started. I was also able to express my future goal of becoming an alternative medicine oncology nurse and they loved the idea and have a team in place that they want me to work with, HOW GREAT!!!! The only bad part of my job is I was informed I will also be working with families that are in hospice and need end of life care, this is sad for me but I believe I can do it because God has called me into this type of nursing for a reason. I am scared about being all alone in Orlando for the day without my strong man by my side but I am not scared about the interview I can nail that and the flight is the fun part. So anyway, just pray that I will be ok without Chris and pray that God will reveal if this is the right path for me. Have a great day everyone. I promise I will work on posting more.
