June Update
We know that it’s been a long time since we’ve updated everyone but I’ll do my best. Work Well I’ve started working on the floor last week and it has been a scary, exciting and tiresome adventure. This is what I’ve learned so far: 12-hour shifts are very long but somehow not long enough to…

By Dr. John McCrae
I had to memorize In Flanders Field while in college, and the significance of it becomes more and more real as the years go by, and I realize how blessed I am to live in a country such as the United States of America. I’ve posted this once before, but I think it sums up…

Done and Done
After 3 long years of nothing but school, I’ve finally graduated. Graduation took place May 11th and all my family was there to see me walk across that stage. It was a happy day! After graduation Brian and I decided to head to Asheville, NC and visit the Biltmore Estate. What a beautiful place! We’ve…

VT vigil
Monica and I attended the Virginia Tech vigil that occurred yesterday evening at Mt Trashmore in Virginia Beach. I’ve posted a short clip on YouTube that I’ve also embedded below. It was a great way to pay tribute to those whose lives were tragically cut short on 4/16/2007.

April Stuff
School Two weeks and a day! That’s what I have left of school. I am currently trying to survive my internship (preceptorship) and it’s going well. I’m a little tired but that was to be expected. Working 12 hours shifts is tough but I’m learning a lot and love the job. Taking on a full…

Run, Forrest, Run
Monica ran in the Shamrock Half Marathon yesterday and boy, is she sore today. I can’t imagine running 13.1 miles, but her friend Krystyn and her managed to do it in slightly less than two and a half hours. It was a bright and early start as we had to be there at 6 am,…

School School is almost done and I have a position in a surgery trauma unit waiting for me upon successful completion of nursing school and RN licensure! Exciting stuff for sure.…
