At Last

Becoming a "real" nurse is just around the corner for me! My original thought of going back to work was that I would start orientating with a Registered Nurse. Because of going back to work early plus my school being slow.....I went back to my usual duties of a Nurse Technician.
Well, things are looking hopeful. My school is sending the necessary paperwork down to Springfield so that I can sit for nursing boards. AND....my boss called me today with good news. Starting March 1, I start orientating with a nurse.....yay! Not only does my pay double, but I am on the road to being a "real" nurse. I will be working straight nights....3 nights per week. That is a huge blessing! I wasn't sure if they would let be on straight nights......but my bossed agreed.
As for Benjamin.....he had a couple of interviews last week......one being very promising. This week he is going in for drug testing (think he'll pass??) and to get some other odds-n-ends straightened out. Hopefully, this will be it!
Thank you for praying for us. We hope and pray that things will only go up from here!

Oh...and "Hello" from Rebekah:

It's been too long....

It's been way too long since my last post....sorry 'bout that. Life over here has been crazy. Since my last post, Benjamin got laid off, and I've started a review course for taking my nursing state board test. It is different with Benjamin home everyday, but I do like the company. If he isn't searching for a job, or filling out applications, then he is doing homework for class. So he's keeping busy. Maybe you could pray for us? ......pray that a job for him will come soon, and for us to lean on God and trust His perfect timing.
Because of the lay off, I am going back to work early. I start back next week. I'll be working nights. It will definitely be a change for the Rasmussen household. But I think we can do it. It will take some time for the new adjustments.
Rebekah is so different now. She sleeps 7 hrs straight at night. Play time becomes more independent for her. Her vocabulary has increased from "ah" to "oooo, ahhhh". She smiles, laughs, and of course cries. Cries quite a bit, actually. That too soon shall pass.
Maybe I'll get some pictures up here soon.
