Big news!

I know that I have been a terrible blogger lately. A lot has been going on and I have neglected it! BUT, I will get better and update more, but this news calls for a definite post. God has definitely been answering prayers lately, and I am so thankful. I AM OFFICIALLY EMPLOYED! YAY! It has been a long, frustrating summer, and I patiently waited for this to work out and it did. I will start my very first "big girl" job on Monday. I will be working at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in the operating room! I am SO excited! I enjoyed surgery the one day we spent there in nursing school, loved doing my Synthesis hours there, and knew that was where I wanted to work. It has been interesting summer through the ups and downs and the not knowing if they were going to have a job for me, but I am so glad I waited. This is where I want to be and I'm glad I didn't have to settle for something I really didn't want to do. I thank God for having His hand on the situation and giving me patience, and the understanding of what it really means to fully rely on Him to provide. Also, my sister Kate got news that she got her first job too, which means we will both be off our parent's payroll - good news for them! She will begin working at Static Salon in Madison later this month. She is really excited and I am very proud of her for following her dream!

*Shameless plug* Her business is a business of building up her clientele, so go see her! She would love to have you! She starts August 16th.

On another note, the 2011 Mississippi election season kicks off tomorrow with the primary elections. PLEASE take some time tomorrow and exercise your right to vote. Voting is so important. Also, be smart and know your candidates and what they stand for before you vote! I was going to do a blog post highlighting all the candidates in the major races, but I never had any time to, maybe for the elections in November! Don't forget tomorrow! Vote vote vote!
