turning over a new leaf.

i got a new job. so i failed to mention that i applied for a new job. mostly b/c if i didnt get it-i didnt want to have to blog about it....its an advancement in my nursing career, a supervising position-which is what i want to do. i eventually want to be a manager, and our hospital is opening a new unit. my old boss is the manager and approached me and asked me to apply for it. so i did. my whole thinking was, if i get it i get it, if i dont, i dont. i am happy in PACU, but im ready to take the next step in my career...and i got it. im kinda sad b/c i wont get to work as close with the surgeons anymore or the anesthesiologists, but i have to look at the big picture...and ultimately-this is a huge opportunity for me. so i am excited about what it brings for me. not to mention, a pay raise and better, more consistent hours. and NO MORE ON CALL!!! woot-woot. and leaving a certain superior *ahem* who i cannot stand....its time.....

tomorrow we are going bridesmaid dress shopping. im excited. for the shopping and mostly just to have my sisters all together, minus a couple and my besties. i love my family sooo much and we always have the best time together. yay for thanksgiving and yummy food as well.

pray for all our troops overseas and away from home during this holiday. we are so fortunate for all the hard work they are doing to keep our country safe and protected. and pray for the general safety of all those traveling during the holiday weekend....

not sure if ill get a chance to post before thanksgiving or not, so without further ado, happy thanksgiving-we have sooo much to be thankful for, even in these 'tough' times.....its easy to forget and take things for granted. i do it, too....simple things like our families and loved ones.....are a blessing, every day.....
