Happy Easter

Wow has today been strange! Last night I was so excited about going to Asbury for sunrise service then to First Assembly for regular service. My alarm went off at 5am and I quickly decided that sunrise service was out! Thunder, lightening, and torrential rain didn't seem like the best weather to be in. As it turns out I was right, several roads flooded and we couldn't make it to First Assembly. I decided to go to Asbury cause I could get there. Has anyone else experienced the going back home and finding that all the little kids have grown up and are now as tall as you? It is strange...
We went to my aunts house for dinner where none of the typical Easter dishes were served :( with the potato salad exception. My little cousins are getting big, and I had no desire to hunt Easter eggs this year. Strange...
I finally got to leave between downpours around 2 and made it to Troy. I decided to leave my cousins CD with one of our friends up there since I didn't get to see him this weekend. When I got there the news alert was on and Montgomery was under a tornado warning so I waited in Troy for a while.
Made it back to Montgomery and decided to cook... Strange... However much to my disappointment, no one wanted to come over for dinner. So I cooked anyway and put it in the fridge for t/m. Crazy people who chooses hotdogs over a real homecooked meal.
All and all today has been strange, the weather, my emotions, food choices all very very strange

I agree

Too much @ once

Well I am going to be moving soon. I think I am gonna try to buy a house. I am single again... kinda out of the blue. 151 and sadness DO NOT go together. It is spring break no one is here. Why are most of my friends guys and will I ever find a guy who doesn't mind? UGH!! I know it doesn't sound like it but I really am happy right now. I am very excited about my new job. The message this morning @ church was good. Something to think about... How bored would we be if we got everything we wanted right when we wanted it. What if God never made us wait... Something better is around the corner I know. Love you all be safe over spring break.

Early Bedtime Tonight

My day started off at 3:45 this morning! Yes that’s right... It has been a good day, and I feel more confident in my job. I went to the Phenix City office, where I will be relocating to, and met my co-workers and a few doctors. I am not sure how I feel about my partner our selling styles are very very different and I will be riding with her quite a bit for the first few weeks. I am trying now to make any snap judgments. All in all it was good I still need to find a place to live over there and I am not looking forward to that at all.

This is long but worth reading

I realize it has been a while, but I have been super busy. I started at Wiregrass Hospice this week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were spent in the Dothan office for orientation. It was fun I stayed with my mom and my little bro Michael. I was excited when Sandra (supervisor) told me I could come back to Montgomery Thursday and Friday. I remember why I was so ready to leave home.

I rode with the Chaplain on Thursday, we went to several houses and then a funeral and finally a few nursing homes. It was in the nursing home where I almost lost it, this sweet couple who have been married over 70 years are both on Hospice. The woman is in worse shape than her husband, and he was telling us how she woke up depressed that morning. He went on to say she was sad about not being able to enjoy their home and see all the memories in the home. He then told us about praying with her and talking and deciding that God has a reason for them being here. About that time I looked up and there was a tear dropping from the tip of this sweet man’s face onto his wife’s bed. I was so overcome at that moment.

How wonderful it is to have someone to spend your entire life with. This couple can remember playing marbles together when they were just children. On the flip side how painful it must be to watch your spouse die. I have a strong faith in God just as these two, and I pray I will know those joys and pains one day.

The great thing about Hospice is most of the patients know what is happening to them and accept it. Our goal is to allow them to have the fullest life possible for whatever time they have left. I think I am going to love my job I know these first few weeks are going to be emotionally taxing on me, so if I could ask my friends just to call me and see how I am doing it would mean a lot to me.

Friday I rode with a nurse, we left the office about 9:45 had a 15 min lunch around 3, returned to the office about 5 and she still had to visit one more patient and deliver blood to the lab. This is a typical day for the nurses fortunately I got to go home at 5 because the other two stops were on her way home. All in all it was a good day, most of the patients I have seen have been older, but Wiregrass Hospice serves all age ranges.

YAY

I had an interview y/d with Wiregrass Hospice and... I was hired! I am the new Community Educator for the Phenix City.
