So, I haven't been very good about keeping this thing updated, but I will try and do that now. I have learned in the last month that my plans do not always work out the way that I would like. I had planned that when I moved here I would be getting a house. Little did I know that is turned out to be much harder than I thought. After many weeks of looking at houses, and putting an offer on a few that didn't go through, I realized that maybe it just wasn't the right timing. Maybe God has a reason it didn't work out. Anyway, I am still staying with my sister and her family. Even though this was not what I planned, it has turned out to be a blessing. I hope that I am able to be a blessing while I am here. I am really enjoying the time with my sister and her family.
Work has been good. I have learned so much in the few months that I have been here. I have finally gotten my chemo certification. To get my certification, I had to go to a class for 2 day to learn about chemo, the side effect, complications and much more, then take a test. This is a national certification which will be good anywhere. I have given chemo the last several days that I have worked. It makes me nervous which I guess it a good thing, it makes you a little more cautious. I also did my first stem cell transplant the other day. Every day that I work I find that I am gaining more confidence in my knowledge and skills. I find that I am not as stressed out when I work as I was even a few months ago. I am blessed to be working with a great group of nurses and doctors.
I have been going to a church the last month or so, First Baptist McKinney. I like the church and the Sunday School class that I am attending. Last weekend we went to a hot air balloon festival. It was a lot of fun. Anyway, that is a brief update of the last month or so. Included are a few picture from various event in the last month or so.
