Friends

What a crazy last few weeks! I barely had time to breathe. Clarian Arnett in Lafayette officially offered me a job, and i took it of course. My mind is so full of things i need to get done before i leave for my Florida rotation...mail forwarding stuff, packing stuff for two months, packing stuff in general to get my house ready to be put on the market, new roof for the house..ick, studying...ick,ick..., etc., etc., etc. Wish there was two of me:-)

I was reminded of how blessed I am to have such good and wonderful friends. This past weekend, Tori, Mel, Jodee, and I went to the nurse anesthesia national conference. It was great spending time with them. My birthday with them was wonderful. We went to Fogo de Chao, a Brazillian steak house. Loved every minute of it.

On Tues. I went to the hospital to see Kristen, who was ready to have Nathan. When I got the hospital, she was ready for the epidural to help with labor pain. I was NOT impressed with the anesthesiologist. Got to see the little tyke being born. Nathan is getting genetic testing, ultrasounds, etc. There was a few things that concerned the hospital staff. I know that however this turns out. Everything will be OK. It may be hard sometimes for Dan and Kristen, but their strength in God will carry them through whatever trials com. How I will missed the Spielmans when i leave MN.

Last night, Annie, Jessi, and the gang had a birthday shindig for me since i was out of town on my birthday. I had so much fun spending time with them. It's still far for me to think that i am leaving them behind. It's beginning to hit me a bit today. I started tearing up thinking about all the good friends i'm leaving behind.

How I am blessed. I cannot imagine going through life without good friends. Money is definitely not everything. I would rather have little money and have good friends and family than have a lot of money and have none.
