my new job so far :o)

So I am loving my new job at Unity Hospice. I feel like I"m still getting into the swing of things, but since I am working with my friend Brittany, its wonderful to work along side her and kinda pick up things as I go. I was working at both Unity and the Coach Outlet, but finally had to quit at Coach. It was just too much to do both. So my last day was Monday at Coach and I'm so relieved to just be working one job now.

Tomorrow Elsie is having surgery (she has to be spayed) so I'm hoping that goes well and this weekend we're going to Rockford for the weekend to be with mom and dad. Our friends Dan and Kristin just got married in Florida and are having their reception in Rockford this weekend as well so we will be going to that :o)

Joe has been not feeling so great lately, so we're hoping we can get him feeling better very soon. Why does it have to be so difficult to get into a doctor!? Right now we are both in limbo with primary care doctors, what a pain!!

new job!

I got a new job! I will be working at Unity Hospice which is based out of Rochelle, IL, as a full time social worker. I am so excited to start!! This kinda fell into my lap because I had applied to this place (Unity Hospice) back in June and they wanted to interview me the week I was on my honeymoon and I said I could after I was back. Well by the time I was back they had hired someone and it turned out to be a good friend of mine from Grad school!! So now there is someone part time retiring and they are replacing her with someone full time cause the caseload is so big, so my friend emailed me right away and asked if I'd be interested and the people already knew who I was because of calling me before. So I interviews and they hired me on the spot which was great. I will be starting on Oct 13th and will have half of the district as my case load and my friend Brittany will have the other half. I will be traveling a lot but be able to meet with families in their homes and at nursing homes. It will be great! I can't wait to start. God is good :o)
