Here I Go Again


I think I want to see how many Universities I can attend or something like that. Actually, with the boys health issues, I have found it necessary to make some career changes. Even though Trevor is an excellent provider, medical bills and RX's are robbing us blind. Now, if you think I am for socialized medicine, think again. But that is a topic for another blog. So a couple of months back I felt impressed that I needed to do something that will still allow me to be a mother and take care of the boys concerns. So here is the story. When I returned from my mission as a mission nurse, I decided that medical school was not something I wanted to put a family through. Instead Shane (my brother) talked to me about going into Family Therapy. Since I already had an associates in biology/psychology I didn't think it would be a big leap. So I ended up getting my bachelors in Family Therapy from BYU. It ended up being a huge blessing after Tyler was born. They I started working for a medical diagnostics account and they offered to pay for me to get an MBA. So I did it, but quit work a couple classes away from finishing. At $2000 a class, I couldn't keep going on my own. So then came Davin and Ryan's non-stop health issues and once again, ,I found myself drawn to the medical field. Last month, I went back and got my CNA license (just past the tests last week:) and I also got accepted to Weber State University for the fall. My goal, to get accepted to Weber State University Nursing program that starts in the fall of 2010. If all works out, I will be an RN in the next couple of years. I figured, hey, I'm already doing this with my kids so I might as well get payed for it! So as life has taken so many turns, I decided so should I. Yes I'm not excited about paying for college again, but feel that this will ultimately be the best thing for my family and myself. So here I go again

You're such a shoo in for WSU's nusing program! I'm sure you'll make it...and then you can find a way to bust me in (; I'm glad to hear you passed the licensing exam! Dean took his two weeks ago and still hasn't heard back :(

So, my boys climb on our fridge, too! Dave hates it, but I secretly don't mind because maybe they'll break it and we can get a new one!! Ha ha. Anyway, I'm so proud of you for going for it and going to school. You are truly inspiring.
