killer bunnies

I'm in beautiful Colorado. Dang, every time I come out, I just want to move out here. I have no desire to go back to delaware. Especially since I'm going back to do 3 doubles in a row at the nursing home. boom, boom, boom. In the event that I survive that, I am then planning on going to Camp Cedarbrook in PA to be a camp nurse! Whoo! I am very excited about this.

Immediately following this camp experience comes my orientation for Manor Care, in which I think that they hired me as a PRN nurse. I am excited because this place looks like a hospital inside, even though it is your basic Rehab and LTC (Long Term Care) facility. This place offers more skilled care (in which I finally get to practice some skills!) as opposed to an intermediate facility (which Newark Manor is). Look out trachs, vents, wound vacs, and IVs....here I come! Am I scared? Yes. I can handle my own at Newark Manor only about 75% of the time, so Manor Care is a leap for me. But I know that God got me into this job, and He won't let me down now. Will is be hard? Yes, but not impossible.

So, back to Colorado. The other day, we (me, my mom, my bro + sis in law) went to Aspen to see an awesome orchestra at the music school. Then we went hiking at the Maroon Bells (not up them---this is very dangerous, usually resulting in serious injury or fatality). We saw the Bells, and let me tell you --- it was basically the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen!!!! You would not believe me unless you have seen it. Yes. Yes, I want to move out here. I say this every single time I visit. However, this is not the right time; this is quite clear to me. Today, mom and I went to the Springs and saw the garden of the gods (which obviously, one God created). It was breathtaking. What a testimony of God's creativity and goodness!

Awesomeness.
