life and jobs

I only have 8 more wks of school! I feel like its been such a whirlwind since the first day I started in Aug 2007. Time has flown by. Back then I never would have guessed that I would be planning a wedding while studying for state boards. I probably would have tried to talk myself out of it really.. just knowing how stressful it would all be. But its coming along and I think the timing will really work out perfectly (as long as I pass boards!! I need so much prayer!!) Saturday was my last day working at childrens hospital. It was definitly bittersweet. I will miss the little ones. I think it helped me not be as sad saturday bc I had a little one year old who was in the room alone (no parents at the hospital) and would scream/cry anytime I left the room for pretty much the entire 12 hr shift. Usually kids seem to wear themselves out after awhile... but not her. She would cry for hours and her door was closed but you could hear her down the hallway. I did try to play with her when I could, and I fed her, but I had like 4-5 other pts so I couldnt stay in there all day. I felt more bad for the families with rooms next to her. It was fun, though, whenI did have time to go in and play with her. She was a cutie. So I'm moving from cleaning little butts to big butts. Well hopefully with my rehab job it wont be so much about cleaning butts... they should be able to do it mostly themselves but you never know. I am getting excited about this job though. Childrens was great but it didnt really feel like a "real" job bc I was there like 1-2 days a week. At Christ I will be working 36 hours a week, and although it is nightshift, i will be glad to have a regular schedule finally. And no school work to take home!!
Travis has been thinking about going back to school for his masters so we have been talkign about when the best time for that would be. It would be tough I think with him taking night classes we really wouldnt see eachother at all.. bc I would go into work at 7pm... but I'd rather him do it sooner rather than a couple years down the road when we would like to have kids (crazy that I'm talking about kids!.. he wants to wait 5 years though).
just more to think about.

I really have to go study... have a big maternity test on wednesday.. kate I am learning all about you right now!!
Love you all.
