I GOT IT!

Today I met with the current victim's advocate to find out more about the position and decided for sure that I want it. It is still up in the air of when I will start, but hopefully within the next few weeks. I will be doing death notifications, river incidents, assaults, court hearings, protection orders, search and rescue, and lots of free trainings. Also included: county car, cell phone, pay raise, additional week vacation and I am my own boss. This is a job I can run with as far as starting/training for things that interest me. God is so good!

On the other fronts, I'm in my second week of 16 weeks of school left before graduating with my master's degree in April! I am hoping to come out to Ohio the last week of April through first week of May to visit and walk the stage to happily complete my education. It will be a long while before I think about a doctorates degree. I think I need more experiences to know what I would like to specialize in before I tackle that.

My mom is doing much better health wise, despite a set back earlier this week. During a checkup, the doctors finally took my mom seriously and found blood clots because of her port. She stayed at the hospital overnight and now has to take a daily shot of blood thinners in her stomach for awhile to help. Anyone who knows her knows she can't stay away from work, and is already back at it helping those who need it. Only a few more treatments to go and she will be back to full health in no time and hopefully able to come visit me in the summer.

I have off work until Sunday afternoon (unless I start the new position Monday) and will be doing homework and babysitting. Right now I am flying high though and may just treat myself to dinner and enjoy my night. I hope you all reading this have a great weekend and find a blessing in life. I know I am truly blessed today :)
