1.) I currently no longer work at Beaumont Hospital

I resigned this past week from Beaumont Hospital. After giving this decision much thought and prayer I realized the hospital setting is not the place for me. I am so grateful for nursing assistants and they work their BUTTS off! They are amazing individuals. After only 6 weeks I was experiencing a lot of back pain from assisting critically ill patients. I also learned that as much as I "thought" I was going to love 12-hr shifts- I did not. It wasn't so much the length of the shifts it was more working them all in a row. It was very difficult coming home knowing I almost immediately needed to go to bed or else I wouldn't get enough sleep. I also really missed the medical office setting- building relationships with patients- and having normal working hours and paid holidays OFF. I am happy I gained the experience of working in a hospital but I am also happy to announce...

I am now the newest employee of Academic Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery Center! :-)

I start Monday as a Registered Medical Assistant (RMA)

2.) Daniel received a promotion and now has his OWN store!!

We have waited and prayed, and waited, and waited but it is finally official- Dan received a PROMOTION and is now store manager of Vitamin World!! We are super excited and I could not be more proud of him and how hard he has worked. 

3.) I am receiving my degree in science and no longer pursuing nursing

I have struggled with this decision for a long time. I have been constantly back and forth and then back again. 

I am no longer pursuing my degree in nursing instead I am finishing up my few classes I need for my associates in science and continuing my employment as a Medical Assistant in a specialty office. There are many reasons I have made this decision and I finally feel at peace about  it. I am excited to be a wife again and in the next few years be a mother. I am also excited to move on to the next chapter in my life and finally start the search for our very first house this next year!!
