Happy Birthday Kasey Kahne !!!

Happy Birthday to Kasey Kahne..My FAVORITE NASCAR NEXTEL driver, and the winner of yesterday's Samsung/RadioShack 500. It was an amazing race and I got to sit through every minute of it with my good friends Kristy, Carrie and her husband Bill. I don't think I should be calling them friends b/c they're more like family to me than anything else. I have to thank Bill and Kristy for getting my interest in NASCAR started and kudos to my boy for winning the race. After watching Kasey finish 2nd three times in his first season (at all the races I went to that year) and watching him DNF in Bristol last year, this win was definitely worth the wait. I'm very glad he won yesterday and wish him the best of luck with his birthday an enjoying the rest of the season. Oh ya, he's now an honorary Texan. I'd be happy if he stayed :)

Change of Heart.

I guess you could say I've had a change of heart. I thought that working with a certain individual would cause me challenges and grief, but I'm happy to report that after two nights in the trenches we seem to be getting along better than ever. I guess it jus goes to show that the competitiveness of nursing school and the madness that it creates aren't "real life" experiences. I'm happy I've got my new compadre there with me to go through all the craziness. Afterall, safety in numbers right ??? As for the rest of the population....take care of yourselves and each other. There have been way too many ER visits in the last 72 hours in the entire city of Houston.

Challenges

Now that nursing school is over and the boards are over and I'm an actual R.N. I always knew there would be challenges, but I don't think I quite expected them to come this quickly. In order to protect identities and to save face I'll leave out the exact situation. Let's just say that all prayers are welcome as I face the challenges that this evening will bring for me. Thanks everyone for being there for me and hopefully your thoughts and prayers will continue to lift me up.
