Catch Up

Sorry, friends.. It has been a long time since I've blogged! So much has happened.. Good things, not so good, hard times, and good times. These last couple months have been different.. We can just say that grief has really hit me and it's been very hard.
I'm out of classes for the summer. I'm so happy to be on summer break. School was getting exhausting the last couple weeks. I took 15 credit hours and I made it. :) Those credit hours were a little different than what I was use to. Leaning about the human body, pharmacology, and diseases it a little harder. Microbiology was my favorite class. Wow, I learned so much.
Stanley graduated from Radford University with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I was very proud of him. He starts working on his BSN degree this fall. He will be working on his degree for about 4 years. He plans to go on and get his Doctorate in Nursing. We both have a lot of school ahead of us! :) It is important to both of us. I got accepted into the "Surgical Technology" program. It is a 15 month program that I start this fall. I have orientation coming up soon. I was surprised that I got in. They only accepted about 15-20 students and over 60 students applied. I was very happy. It's nice to have achieved the first step in my goal.
I'm still working at the daycare. I've been working full time since school has been out. I'm helping in the kitchen, doing lunches, working in classrooms, and then go aid in our SAC area. I love working at North Kids! It's a great, Christian place to work. I'm hoping to volunteer at the hospital this summer. I'm hoping to get my foot in the door and end up with a job! :) I would love to work in a hospital. I've also thought about shadowing some this summer.
I'm looking forward to my summer. I love camp time.  I've already taken the week of youth camp off. Stan will be there all week as a team leader. I wouldn't miss youth camp! :) I have some goals to accomplish and just to relax. I won't have a life once I go back to school.
We have a new addition to our family. A beautiful German Shepherd pup. Her name is Moka Vans Wiford! :) And, not that is not pronounced like a family "van" that you ride around in. It's completely German.. Even our last name! She is such a good and smart pup. We love her dearly.
Have a blessed week!
