I just got home from my first day at work. It's been a year and a half since I worked last and it was tough to go back and leave my little Kiera. Kiera did ok with her daddy though and I'm glad (prayers work). I am the charge nurse at a nursing home with 60+ patients which is a little crazy to me especially because I have complete charge of the facility when I work in the evenings but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I work in an ugly run-down nursing home next door to Steve's VA hospital that is 7th day adventist (therefore everyone is vegetarian). It should be an interesting job

Is the nursing home 7th day adventist too? I'm surprised they made you charge nurse when you haven't worked there before. I guess I just don't understand this nurse thing. How often do you work?

Yeah, you told me how many hours a week but I cant remember now. Seems like it was 3 six hour days??? We are hoping that with your new time commitment you will still have time to blog. I think you are the best to do it, so we would miss your contributions extremely

I told them I would work between 1-3 shifts (8 hours each) per week, but they have me working 4 so far this week and wanted me to do 5.
Yes I am charge nurse-- charge of 82 patients, 5 other nurses, 14 CNA's, dietary, housekeeping, maintainance, and everyone else. I'm sure I can do it as soon as they train me. They wanted me to do it independently by saturday, but so far all we have been doing is paperwork and tours of the facility.

It's fantastic weather here in Utah, and I decided I needed to go mountain biking today. Normally I just go biking up the Provo River Trail, but today I wanted to get onto some trails. Lucky for me the Internet decided to have some good suggestions on where to go around here, and I found this one . Previous to this experience, I've only been "Mountain Biking" at Sundance. In some ways this trail was better than Sundance, in other ways it wasn't as good. Namely that it has a good 30-40 minutes of climbing before you get to any downhill (Sundance has a lift, negating the need to climb). Climbing uphill on a bike for 30 minutes wears you out fast. I had to take a few breathers. I think I took a few wrong turns too. But, what wants to go down must go up first. I wish I could relate to you how much fun it is to bike on mountain trails, particularly the downhill ones . Flat are good too, but downhill is a blast. You go through the forest, over streams, thro...

I'm no longer "un-officially engaged". That's right. Your teasing and blunt hinting is old news. You all know the big news. No definite date yet, but it's looking like beginning to mid-July. *sigh* Long time. It actually works out great to do it then for when Katie's parents come home and Brigham's school stuff. I told Christa I'd put up pictures on here, but I realized I don't actually have many pictures. Mom and Dad have a few. These are a couple of pictures Pictures taken with my phone today. Better pictures coming, I'm sure.
