I’m going to write this blog on my lunch break. It has been ten days
since I last wrote.

If my life were empty, I might be concerned about not writing. At
this point, however, despite being as tired as I am, I’m loving the
position I have in life. I’m loving my life.

Work at the clinic is very fast paced and can be stressful, but I love
every minute of it. The doctors, the nurses, the patients are all
excellent… And I fit in really well. My biggest fears were unneeded.

Brock and I are going to Vegas to meet my mom and dad for a week. I
am so excited for it, I talk about it all the time. I’m counting the
“sleeps”. Vegas will be fun and all, but I’m really missing my mom
and dad. I can’t wait to see dad smile, as I give mom a hug. I will
probably cry when I see her, I always do. Dad will say, “Hello little
girl,” and hug me so tight. Brock will feel awkward for about two
minutes, because I’ll be busy hugging. Mom will take that away,
though, when she hugs him and plants a big sloppy kiss on his cheek.
She will, trust me. Then she wont be able to wait to get started and
show us the sights. I’m ready for that.

I PASSED my last ARDMS board registry!! I hoped I would, and everyone
else says they knew I would. I’m glad that I did! Like mom said, I’m
“all boarded up now!” And I never have to take another again…
Unless I want to.

I got to watch a surgery yesterday… It was a laporascopic dermoid
cyst removal. Too cool for words. It almost needs its own post with
a graphic description content warning. We’ll save that for later.

As I finger type this post out on my iPhone, I can’t help but hope it
is formatted right… but mostly, I miss posting. I do miss my free
time… But I’m doing ok.

Thanks for checking 🙂
