Our monthly project


Hello again to all of our family and friends. Lots has happened since the last time any of us have written. I started working at the elementary school and it is soooo nice. I am working 6 hours 3 days a week. Sometimes I can't believe that I am getting paid for hanging out with kids all day.
As some of you may already know Wesley and I have a huge project we are undertaking. We found 4 chairs at our friends parents garage sale and decided to fix them up. Instead of doing them all at once we are doing a chair once a month. The picture you see here is what they looked like when we got them. Not much huh?
We have stained them an english chestnut which is going to look great with the seat colors we have chosen. So far we almost have two chairs done. But we still need to put another sealant coat on and then we can start weaving the seats in a checkerboard pattern with blue and cream.
This probably is not making sence to some of you but we will definately post pictures of our progress so far. Make sure to check back in a week or so to hopefully see the finished product.

Workin hard!

Hello!
This is the very first time that I have even visited our blog. I have decided to add my own thoughts and tell you whats going on. As some of you know Wednesday was my last day working at Pier One Imports. YEAH! Although I am excited to move on with my life I will miss some aspects of working there.
On Monday I will start working at Alpine Elementary as a classroom aide. I did this last year but helped with sixth grade which was so much fun. As much as I would like to do that again I will be with the fifth grade this year. I am sure that I will have many stories and new adventures with over 75 fifth graders.
As for school it is going good so far. I have my first biology test next week and am kind of scared for it. But I am hoping to do alright. I think that my most favorite class right now is Dance. This is just not any dance class this is dance for elementary education. I never thought that I would have so much fun rolling around on a dirty gym floor, running in circles, and even going on a lion hunt and have a blast doing it.
Anyway, things are very busy but we are having fun in the process. - Jessica

rough draft paper for nursing

Hello again I wrote a paper for nursing class and would like your input please edit as you go and tell me what you think of my idea.

What Kind of Nurse do I Want to be?
I have been bombarded by so many options that I am really not so sure I have any idea yet. I have always wanted to help people, which way is the best, I do not know. But I would like to work in a career where I would be able to spend nights, weekends, and holidays with my future family. So that basically eliminates emergency nursing and med\surge nursing. I know that I wouldn’t have to work all night every night or every weekend or holiday but even the stress of working any of those would just not be fun to deal with especially if you have to work a holiday but your family plans a vacation after you have been scheduled and then trying to find some one to cover your holiday shift oh boy not fun at all. I worked as a CNA at TOSH in Murray and dealt with a situation just like that, I never want to deal with that again I would much rather work 9-5.
Nurse practitioner might be something I’d like to pursue because if I started my own practice I could work when I wanted and not have the stress of trying to get others to cover my shifts if I am sick or otherwise unavailable. My wife thinks I am great with kids and I tend to enjoy the time I spend with kids so I think a great option for me would be to open a pediatrics clinic as a nurse practitioner. I therefore would be able to work the times I want to and work with kids, while avoiding the stress of a hospital. The only downside I see is that working with children I might not be able to handle seeing them in pain or with a life threatening injury or terminal illness but I don’t know how much of that I would see in a clinic but, anyway please give me your feedback and feel free to edit my horrible writing style while your at it.
