Where To Go
As many of you are aware, Jeremiah is planning to do a graduate degree in the fall for biblical studies. This is very exciting, however the difficult thing for us right now is figuring out where to move to accomplish this. Just as we think we are narrowing it down, new reasons come up as why to reconsider the other options. Currently the options are Toronto, Vancouver & the newer option of Fergus. By June 1st we should have an answer. So stay tuned for the official posting of where we will go. In the meantime we welcome all prayers as we try to figure out where God is leading us to for our new adventures in life.

Does Spring Even Exist?
So I have been having a somewhat off day today and haven't really been able to pin point down the reasons as to why. However with a bit of thinking I believe a lot of how I feel is reflected directly by the weather we are having here in Calgary/Okotoks. Now my sister-in-law can attest to the fact that there was no snow anymore in our yard today and I was excited about this this morning. The problem is, that we will finally get rid of the snow, get excited about putting on our flip flops and the summer activities that can begin, only to find another massive dump of snow on its way in. It is very frustrating. Lets hope this doesn't last too long...however that is also what we said of the last downfall.

Done...!!
After 7 years of post-secondary school (CLBI 1 year, MRC Disability Studies 2 years & Nursing 4 years) I can now say that I have completed my student career. Nursing school has had its challenges, but I believe there has been a divine force at work that has kept me going. I am now done all my requirements to receive my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing which I will get at my graduation on June 5, 2009. I want to thank all of you that have supported me and prayed for me along this journey. I ask that you continue to pray for me as I prepare to write my RN exam and make the transition to being an autonomous nurse. I am very nervous about this and am hoping and praying that I will find my place in the big scary nursing world. Right now I have interest in public health, senior's health, mental health and palliative care and no interest in internal medicine, ER, ICU etc, so we'll see where I will end up. For the summer I will be working a casual position on a senior's rehabilitation unit in Calgary at the Rockyview and also in public health in Okotoks/Black Diamond.
My last couple months in nursing have been a good experience. I had a really great and supportive preceptor in public health in Okotoks/Black Diamond as well as a inspirational faculty mentor. It was a special way to end this program. On the final day of school we were presented with a rose and a certificate to commemorate finishing the final course requirement to graduate! When I got picked up by friend Mel and her sister I was surprised by a unexpected silly string attack, which I cleaned up due to my conscience and apparently my loyalty to Mount Royal College.
So I say farewell to being student nurse and say hello to hospital nurse and rural nurse as the titles of dearly loved Cherry Ames nursing novels would put it.
