last week on the blog

hey we will now be moving to a different blog site - check us out wordpress.com.

life as it is!

So to be fair and update you all on life - Bryan is working at U of M hospital in Ann Arbor - which is a long commute but he's good about it. and I'm taking CNA classes at the community college in hopes of getting a job in the nursing field. It's interesting to me to learn all that i am. to be honest i won't say it's not tough.. but it's funny the homework seems like common sense to me... - read the chapter - find the answer.. but i attribute that to my teachers at NTBI who always asked us tough questions and we had to go through 4 or 5 different books to find an answer that would satisfy them. good prep for this.. well it's funny because i will sit down and get all my homework done in about 2 hours tops.. and i come into class and see these girls fresh out of high school who sit there and go - i can't find the answer - and when i point it out them that they have to read this part of the chapter - they look at me with blank stares like I'm some magician or something and go- OH!! I hadn't thought of that..
There's one girl - here i go rambling - that is 17... and after being in NTBI she seems so conceited and immature. she doesn't want to be in the class. which on some level annoys me - A. because it's a waste of her time - when she could be doing something else she wanted. and B. because she talks when the teacher talks - so i have to constantly ask her to be quiet or try to hear over her... but on the flip side - i came home last night so ticked from this girl... then this morning - i had a thought - do i really want to be doing that job anymore than her?? the answer - NO probably not - i don't think anyone really enjoys watching people die, wiping their rumps, and trying to make them comfortable when you know that they hate being there. because that's all that a CNA is... a glorified rump-wiper... to quote my teacher "CNAs are the base of all that happens - RN/LPNs don't really see the patient - the CNA is the one who interacts with them on a daily basis. the one who sees all that changes in the diet, in their daily functions. they are very important." and I'm sure we are - it's not that i mind working in the background where no one sees me, but i do mind watching people die. it's funny i haven't thought about death so much in my life... but now i find my self asking Bryan questions every night about death and when we get older... it's depressing. it makes me so glad i have something else to look forward to! but some of them don't. and the problem is that unless we are asked we can't tell them about Christ's finished work. so then I'm left with a question - will I even make a difference?

waukesha

waukesha is beautiful. prettier than i thought it would be. to be honest it's been an interesting week - for both of us. we've looked at several different apartments and we think we've found on. it would be a studio - so a little on the small side - but the smaller we go - the more money we can save. and we wouldn't need a co-signer. in terms of jobs. we both a have at least one "pending" i'm going to check on one today - it's at a coffee shop called the steaming cup! it was very nice and i would really love it there! but i need to follow up because - i am leaving the state in a couple of days... speaking of coffee - i can't wait to go out with my friends again and who knew that i would miss my family so much... can't lie - it's very different and hard to be somewhere new with out friends or family... and because we're not settled - it makes it harder to make friends. but i'm sure we can do it - aka - we're going to be here a while - so i have to! but that's my life at teh moment!

3 weeks and counting

so we're down to three weeks.. the pressures on - i'm out of work - yesterday was my last day - woohooo!! and bryan has two weeks left to work! crunch time!!

what's happening!

So wedding plans are going good - almost done - just have to hang in there for another 7 weeks.... seems so far away and close at the same time! though i'm so ready for it all to be over.... so the actual plan is that we're going to take a yr off of school- get all the money we need - simply because we're going to have to rent an appartment and we don't have enough money. so that's what we're doing.. then headed back to school. :D yay!!! so we'll see you all in a year.

waukesha and housing

So lately the deal with plan A is that it may not work.... it's kind of humorous and forces us to trust God in a way that i never have before... Bryan and I don't have housing for waukesha right now... which is interesting as is... right now we're in the process of trying to find an appartment that would lease until someone drops from school so that we could move in! crazy business!prayer all around!
