"You Say Goodbye...I Say Hello..."

My life is filled with good-byes right now. It's weird. I told a friend that it probably won't hit me until I'm riding in the Penske truck with Maddie sitting between Joel and I. Then I will be thinking, "What are we doing? We're leaving our friends, jobs, church and my sister?"
As of right now, I'm in survival mode. We are going on a service trip to Vietnam and trying to adjust our sleep schedule before hand. Watching the clock tick away the time until we can finally go to bed is not very much fun! Sometimes Joel and I bicker (who wouldn't when you're packing at 2 am?!?)...but during the great times we watch movies and shop for the big trip to that far away land. I'm so excited we get to share this adventure together before we start a new life in Jersey....Keep us in your prayers. We have a lot to do!

I'm Sad

I've been starting to think about all the things I'm going to miss about this area...including my job. I'll admit there have been days when I've thought about running away and never looking back (not seriously...and those were probably the days when people have threatened to poop on me..). Now I'm sad. I work with a lot of great people who are willing to help. I pray that the next group of nurses I'm employed with will be as flexible and willing to work as a team. I've learned so much at my first nursing job. I'll never forget it or the people I worked with. Thanks to everyone who has helped me during my first year and 1/2 as an RN.
