my Dad

..
So I realized Father's Day has past and I never got to write about my wonderful Dad and that's just unacceptable. Here are the 5 things he's taught me:)
1. Be positive. This is the number one thing I think of. He is the most positive person I know and always is encouraging others. I'm pretty sure I would not have made it past my first year of college without him and that dang positive attitude ;) ha.
2. Patience. Now, I'm not saying I'm perfect at this yet but Dad sets a good example. He has to deal with all of our paperwork, bills, calls, etc, etc. and he does it without ever losing his cool.
3. Passion. I don't know if you learn this but he's helped me fuel my passion and dream big. I've traveled the world because of this and he's never stopped me or discouraged me. I also see how much he loves what he does and what his passion is...I think a person needs to find that thing that makes them come alive and do it!
4. Plan. He's always ready for whatever. Probably why he's the Emergency manager...but yeah I'm trying.
5. Learn as much as you can. Challenge yourself. Grow.
So grateful for my Dad...if it weren't for him I'm pretty sure I would have an awful perception of guys haha.

it's been awhile

So, I'm going to try and be a little more consistent..not like there's really anything grand going on in my life, but yeah. I've been so 'all over the place' with my new job. It's been interesting trying to get used to night shift. I have no problem staying up, but when I don't work all I do is sleep. I never know what day it is or when I should eat...is midnight lunch?? ha. Other than that, which really isn't so bad now, I love it. It is way better than I expected. A TON of stuff to remember and really pay attention to but I'm learning SOOOOO much this summer. At times I feel completely dumb and slow, like I'll never get this...Hopefully that'll get better by the end of this whole thing. ha. Despite that, I really know this is what I want to do with my life for now. I love the kids, the nurses, the families...
And I'm starting to realize that once you work in a place like the hospital it really makes it hard to complain about petty things in your own life. I'm blessed I have this opportunity to grow and especially blessed to meet all the amazing little ones there:)
