Back to the hospital.....
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time off this month! In the last 20 days, I've worked 2 of them! That is so awesome! I enjoy my job, but I love my life apart from work even more! The time at home, with friends and family and at Sanctuary is my priority!
So, tonight I'm back on for the next 3 nights. I think it will be nice to be back in work mode again! I really do enjoy the role when I'm there! I'm just sad that I have to miss a big Sanctuary gathering at the Guses's on saturday =( Always a highlight!
Our belated birthday date last night was lots of fun! We went to see Barnyard at the cheap theatres first. Shane wasn't too impressed with the movie, but I really liked it! It was a pretty empty theatre at 4:55pm and the giggles from the children in the room made the movie even more enjoyable! Then we went to vote.
After voting, we headed over to check out Best Buy briefly and then off to Olive Garden for yummy food! Mmmmm.....so good! And I always try to stuff myself with the salad and breadsticks so that I can have the majority of my meal the next day for lunch! I'm such a mennonite somedays!
So, you'd think my birthday celebrations were long over but this year is a little longer than usual. I have one more coming....a supper with my dad, at the beginning of November! We share a birthday and haven't been able to have supper together to celebrate yet!
Adios amigos!

A Happy Birthday to me?????? Again?????
Today is the day that Shane and I are going to celebrate my birthday. It seems very belated, as it was 13 days ago! We never did get a little celebration by ourselves because we had a big group dinner at a very yummy Italian restaurant in Kansas City during our trip down. It was so good and the company made the day special! Shane and I did fit in a coffee date at Higher Grounds that day, though! So, tonight we are going to have a birthday supper with some birthday money and gift certificates from the Farrow family. Thanks for supplying this date, guys!

.......feeling a sheepish.....
Off on holidays for 12 days, back for 2 shifts at work, go home early today!, and now off for 6 more days! Feeling a little sheepish for leaving early, but there is definitely a baby lull in October...at least this week! I think I'll eventually plan on an October baby, since I love this month, and there might be a good chance at getting a bed!
Now, a friday evening without work! What will I do?

Life is but a vapor......
Last night's shift was full of stark contrasts.
I had one beautiful delivery. No IV, minimal analgesia, very good fetal heart rate, very pleasant couple, beautiful term baby born at 39 weeks.
Then I had my first stillbirth. A very small baby born at 23 weeks. Also beautiful, with perfect little hands and feet. Just a very sad situation in contrast to the usual happy, health infant.
It really does show how fragile life is. It can be there one moment and then be gone the next. And there doesn't always seem to be answers to why.
I pray this morning that Jesus would be near to all these new parents, especially the ones dealing with loss right now.

Still awaiting.....
The search and prayer for a new car is still on in our home. We are getting closer to knowing what we would like, but the biggest hang-up is the finances (naturally). So, please keep praying for wisdom, guidance and provision for our needs!
We settled with MPI today for our Alero. We are satisfied with the amount that they offerred. The check will be in the mail headed our way, by tomorrow. I'm relieved that that part is complete.
Steph has been an incredible blessing and has lent us her computer for the most part since ours died. It has been so helpful! And hopefully in not too long, we'll have one of our own again.
Regardless of the car issue, the plan is still to head to the conference in Kansas City next week. I'm very glad that our trip wasn't cancelled due to our lack of car. I'm looking forward to our time receiving in Kansas City!
I'm off to another night shift! After these two night shifts, I'm off on holidays for 12 days which include the celebration of Thanksgiving, my 24th birthday and a trip to KC! I think it will be a nice one!

Expanding the knowledge....
Today is another classroom day at work. More expanding of my brain capacity. That is good once in a while!
Today is part of my ongoing orientation to the gynecology and antepartum unit, which started in the spring. I still don't go there to work, because I didn't get enough orientation days to feel competent yet! Soon I will though, since the other wards I go to might be able to spare me as the rush of summer hopefully will soon start to slow down! I look forward to my lovely friend, Christina being on that ward! Then I can ask her the surgical/medical questions that she's bound to know that is a foreign world to this maternal/child nurse!
Then this evening is dubbed "car shopping" evening. Pray that we either get an idea of what we'd like or find the car already! Would the Lord lead and guide us to the right car for us!
Later!
