72+

72+ is the number of chewy, delectable chocolate chip cookies my beloved husband made last night for bible study. Those cookies got some serious TLC as he carefully measured, waited by the oven, and delicately moved each cookie to its proper place ;). If only I had the gift of such accuracy and desire for precision that Josh has (then I suppose we might have more cookies and baked goods laying around- not always a good thing!). One of the many reasons we're "better together".

First Day of Orientation

My first day of orientation confirmed how glad I am that God provided this opportunity for me to change jobs. We spent almost 8 hours discussing the core values and history of the organization (while this may be boring to some, it was quite refreshing coming from a place that did not care how you did your work, as long as it was done at the end of the day). I am so excited and will continue with orientation the next few days.

On another happy note, we may have the great honor of hosting Matt (Albright) at our house for about a month. He has to come to Pensacola for a month of training from mid March to mid April (Aviation Safety Officer training) and may stay with us if it all pans out as planned. We're so psyched!

And Finally, a few pictures of what goes on during the day while Josh is gone playing Golf and I'm at work:

Little E (or big, depending on how you look at it) constantly looking for anyone to feed him

When we returned home tonight his squeaks reached an all time high decibel...do not be deceived...he is fed, and fed often. Edgar, when you cannot see your toenails any longer, you should be concerned!


and our vegetable garden is showing many first signs of life already!

I will have to look at my cheat sheet to see what plants are growing faster than others...if I can find it!

Work Updates

I am happy to announce that I have officially accepted a position at Sacred Heart. I will begin working in the skilled nursing facility section of Sacred Heart and then I will have the opportunity to rotate to the hospital in the future.

Monday I will be meeting with HR to fill out my paper work, have a drug screen, and I will also receive more information about the following few days of orientation. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I will have an orientation at the hospital, and then Friday, I will be fitted for a CPR mask.

Then, I will begin working at "The Haven", which is the skilled nursing facility associated with Sacred Heart on Monday, February 23.

I will begin as a PRN therapist (as needed), however, they have full time hours for me, so I will be working full time. Then, as soon as the next board meets, I will likely switch my position to "full time", however, there should not be any real difference in my schedule or the type of work that I do, it will just be a formality.

I am excited to begin working for the second time, and truly hope that this is a great experience.

That's all for now!
