What a week...

I am not even sure where to begin with this week....very fun, good, long, crazy busy, humbling, exhausting, greatful, thankful week (well that is just about every week for us - but kinda hit me today!) School is QUICKLY coming to an end and now I am praying what I am to do next. But for the meantime I was offered a job at an OB/Gyn office that is in my building I currently work at. I had accepted the job and done all that I can do for now until I graduate. It was a part-time job with them basically saying I was guaranteed 24 hours a week but will most likely always get 40 hours....to only be offered today a Full-time position in my office that I currently work in. I would love the OB/Gyn office becaue I ultimately want to work in labor and delivery and go back working with the military, but the full-time part of the job kinda won me in. So Praise God for having a job already lined up because I did find out that they are doing away with LPN's at the hospital in which my school is through...so long story short, I will start applying for the military jobs once I get my license, but at least have a job lined up for the time being....even though there may be a demand for nurses, being an LPN will not get me just any nursing job, so I am praying about that and going on for my RN....but we will see what the Lord has in store for us!
On another random note...I am in just awe or shock or I really can not even think of a word to explain it. BUT I had a mother call me today at work wanting to start her 13 year old...YES 13, yes 1-3 year old on birth control because she is sexually active. We have this all the time in our office, 12 or 13 year olds wanting birth control or are already pregnant, but everytime I talk to a mom or even the patient I am just like WHOA - can I have a little chat with you. J and I were talking about it when I got home because I am always very disturbed about it....and we were like when did these young people start doing stuff like this - because that was definitely not even an incliniation in my mind at that age. What kind of society do these kids live in now? What are the parents doing for these kids and are they involved in their lives? There are many many questions I have and wonder about when I see or talk to these patients. CRAZINESS! My mind is still blown away as I type this and all I can do is pray for them and pray that the very little contact I have with them as a soon to be nurse - may I leave His light with them.
I have many stories as these that I can tell in which I leave work praising God for my health, my parents, my husband, and the way I was raised, the many blessings that I so do not deserve but the Lord has still blessed us with and for know the Lord and being able to lean on Him during tough times or just any time!!
So may you all not take one day for granted, one relationship or experience for granted because the Lord has a reason for it all!
We hope you all had a wonderful week and pray your weekend is a restful one!!

Sorry for my rambling in this post.....

Leadership Conference

Here are a couple of pics from yesterday's leadership conference. My school hosted several other LPN programs in the area for their 10th annual Leadership Conference. We had several speakers come and speak on a variety of nursing topics as well as our classmates doing "teaching" skits! So it was definitely a nice change for the day to get to hang out and learn in a different environment. It is kinda starting to feel a little real that we will be graduating in a few weeks...the time definitely did fly by!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is dad and mom B's anniversary!! We wish you guys a wonderful day celebrating yet another wonderful year of marriage. We are so blessed to have both of our parents as wonderful examples of what true love is and how a marriage should be! So THANK You for that and to many more years of marriage!
We love you guys!

The latest addition...

So we finally sat down and ordered our bowflex and it finally came in....it is our Christmas present to each other!! It came in earlier this week and J worked on it a bit that night putting it together and then we both finished it up this morning and here are the final pics of it. So we are excited to get our "swoll" back on starting this week. I must admit myself I have been a bit too lazy since the summer and have not worked out...so I am excited to get back on fitness kick again (not to mention I have a few trips coming up I need to get in shape for!)
J did not want his pic taken on the bowflex....so I had to sneak one of him while he was on the computer!
We hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day! I know I sure enjoyed spending the day with my hottie hubby!!

Sorry for not posting too much on here lately...it has been crazy busy as usual here in the Wells household. School is quickly coming to an end and it surely can not come fast enough. We have 7 weeks of school left and we are finished and then preparation for my boards begins. I already have a job in line...Praise God!!

All is going swell though despite the busy times. J went back to work this past Monday and it has been a challenging week to say the least. Long story short he was told by a higher up that they would look out for him and put him in a job that is good for his career only to find out Monday morning that was not the case. So he is not giving up and is still trying to get a better job, but in the meantime seeking God as to why He has placed him in the spot (may be for just that one person!) And we may never know why but J is trusting the Lord with it all. God has been sooo good to us and we are excited what He has in store for us in this year. We have many things we are praying for and about and we are totally excited about what is to come....and excited to hopefully be able share them all in a few months as things unfold.

We have actually had some really nice weather this weekend....sunny and in the 60-70 range. So J has been taking advantage of it all and trying to finish "rigging" up his trailer in that he can hit the water later on today. Hopefully we will get some pics up soon of the finished product....we are having a few technical difficulties with our picture website, but J did not want to waste a gorgeous day playing on the computer, so it may be a few days before he gets it all figured out.

We hope you all had a wonderful week....onto another fabulous week!!
