..."Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me." ~Psalm 54:4 ..."The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." ~Psalm 34:18 ...."God in my laughing, There in my weeping, God in my hurting, God in my healing, Be my everything. Christ in me, Christ in me, Christ in me the hope of glory, Be my everything."

no words

...some feelings just can't be put into words....

?

definitely on an emotional roller coaster right now.....

not much to say right now.....it's been a long and rough up and down week and a half....

my heart hurts for the one I love most in this world....Andy.... =*(

first day of orientation as a nurse!

Well....today was my first day of orientation/training for my new job (at the same place though that I've worked as a nurse's aide at for 2 1/2 years)!! There was lots to learn and my brain was working overtime most of the day, but it went pretty well for Day 1! :) I thought my head was gonna explode though once we finally got done with the first med pass! 2 hours straight of pulling meds and then giving them! and then you start all over again not too long after! In between there is charing, doing treatments (such as dressing changes on wounds, incisions, etc.), and whatnot. Then I got asked to stay longer to learn how to do a new admission and boy is that a TON of paperwork! I knew it was a lot, but it was excessive! lol! So today I ended up working 10 hours. whew! It wasn't too bad though and the nurses said I was doing well for the first day (it does help though that I already know the staff and the residents both in the long term area and the rehab area)!! =) Tomorrow I work an 8 hour shift! My normal shift schedule though once I'm done with orientation will be 6 a.m.-6:30 p.m.! I quite enjoyed being able to sign my name "W. Dennison, RN" on all that paperwork today though!!! =D

wedding planning....more...lol

well, the wedding planning and whatnot continues!! today i put all the checks from the girls into my account and am figuring out sizes based on their measurements so that way i can order the dresses before i go to work tomorrow! also working on wedding invitation wording! lots done, but still way more to do and details to work on as well! i know it's still 7 months away (7 months from tomorrow to be exact), but i'm trying to have everything done (obviously there's a few things that have to be finished up a lot closer to the wedding) that can be done before Andy moves into his (then our) apartment because once that happens everything gets a whole lot busier as there is painting and moving to be done, his sister Katie and my brother Andrew graduates from high school, my sister Christa graduates from college, etc. which means that both of our homes will be busy with open house preparations on top of wedding stuff. plus i'm definitely NOT a last minute person especially when it comes to planning stuff. it will be a whole lot less stressful to me if we can get pretty much everything done before May 1st. i love wedding planning for the most part!! but...there is so much to be done and everything seems to take longer than planned......

photography....

well....i liked the name "A Thousand Words Photography" better, but apparently there's a "A Thousand Words Photography" in Ann Arbor, MI. so it looks like i'm gonna go with "Intuition Photography"! :)
