Hagar's House

This week I start my community clinical rotation at Hagar's House.

Here's the link if you're interested, I can never get the clicky type to work.

It's a 90 day emergency shelter for women and children that is ran by the Decatur Cooperative Ministry and is affiliated with Oak Grove United Methodist Church. I am so excited!

The only downside to this clinical site is that it only operates in the evening/night so that's a bit of a bummer, but I think it'll be worth it!

Just wanted to share

that Justin found a job!

It's in his field, which is awesome, and eases the sending of the student loan payments a bit too!

He started today, and it was a long day (6:30-5:15ish, but getting up at 5) in the heat. He has been hired as a project manager, but in order for him to manage well, they want him to understand how long things take which definitely makes sense, soooo he's working with the installation crew for a bit to get a feel for things.

He says it's the hardest he's ever worked and came home covered in dirt from head to toe. He also drank over a gallon of water. I find that crazy! We need to go to SAMs and stock up on sunscreen and Gatorade!

Anywho, thank you all for praying with us that he would find a job. This job was definitely an answered prayer. They weren't even hiring and Justin just happened to find them online and send in a resume and cover letter. The last couple of months have been very hard for us financially and needless to say we've accumulated some debt so we're both happy to be able to start paying on what we owe because we both hate owing others money!

Hope everyone had a Happy Father's Day with your families!

Let's See

My life is crazy. If you call if a life, lol. Thankfully my husband is the best. He definitely makes my life easier.

Last Friday, I passed my first nursing final and lab practical! Many more to come.

On Saturday, we went to Summerfest, one of the best festivals in Atlanta, with some of my classmates and their SO's. We didn't have any money to buy anything, but the booths were amazing with the neatest stuff. (Imagine pre-fourth x 100). They also had tons of food vendors and live music, including Tonic. It was a blast!

Today I had my first home based clinical, although we didn't really start, we just toured the place and met some of the residents. It's in a high rise tower apartment for 62+. It should be an interesting experience, lol.

This weekend, we're house and dog sitting. I'm so freaking exciting about sitting by the pool, hopefully the weather will cooperate with my plans.

Hope things are good with everyone in our blog circle! Big congrats to J! Check out her blog for her news!! Have a great weekend!
