It's hot.
It's really hot!
I haven't seen the electric bill yet, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be monstrous.
And I love it! The long days, the warm nights. My favorite time of day is in the evenings, to sit out on the deck, talking with friends and enjoy the warm summer nights. Sipping lemonade, listening to the sounds of the neighborhood, and the occasional bonfire. Love it!
It's been awhile since my last blog. I took my RN boards on June 1st, and got my RN license for my birthday! Yay!! Now that I am officially an RN, I have been applying for jobs at the hospital. Figure it'll take me like, 2 days to get a job, right? WRONG! It's been nearly two months, and what I have realized is this: Be grateful for the job you have, recognize that any experience is better than none, and enjoy what you are learning, because knowledge is key. I had just gotten to the point where I was going to back off for a bit, enjoy the nursing home for a while, and catch up on my finance stuff, when wouldn't you guess... I got a call for an interview at ORMC! For a full time sot on the surgical floor. Yay!! That's next week, so... keep your fingers crossed for me!
Mav finishes the first part of his police academy in a couple weeks. He's learning about corrections and jails and stuff right now, and loving it. He applied for a position with highway patrol. That is an extensive process! They actually came to our house to interview me! He had another interview with Weber county this last week. He's excited and looking forward to leaving Smiths when the time comes. I keep telling him to quit now and we'll figure it out. It would be so nice to actually see him! But, he's stubborn and won't do that.
We got a bunny here not long ago. That thing is a little devil! He terrorizes the house, chews on everything from shoes, to paper to cords. Poops in the corner of the landing, hides behind the furnace... But he makes me laugh when he charges down the hall hell bent on escaping whatever scary thing lives down there when the lights are off. :-)
We call him Jersey Cow, because he looks like one.
<----This is a pic of him from when we first got him. He's grown a ton since then!
Fingers crossed here for ya!! && that bunny is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog!! I have a feeling you will get that job. You are certainly right about being thankful for your job and thankful for learning. I remind myself of that constantly to keep me motivated through school. Love the Jersey Cow bunny. Cute name. In case you haven't been told, Beau and I are planning on Sept 10, 2011 for the wedding. It seems awhile away but really that time will fly by with how busy we are right now.
ReplyDeleteI think its funny how many people they interview for police officer type jobs... We had some west valley detectives corner us while we were unloading grocerys to ask what we know about the guy up the street... we thought that he was in trouble but we barley knew the guy so we told him what we knew "he takes his trash out on trash day and brings it in at night... and I think he has two kids thats about it"... Yup he got the job but kinda strange that weather or not they take there trash out on the right day should matter but I guess it does =) So tell Mav to be nice to the neigbores =) Good luck on the interview you will do great!!!!
