This week was a pretty busy one. I worked on Monday night and then had an interview at Riley in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at 10am! First I shadowed one of the nurses on the unit for an hour to get a feel for how everything runs and then I interviewed with the manager for about 45 minutes. The whole time I just knew that it was going well. The manager said that she would like to bring me back soon for a peer interview with some of the other nurses on the floor! The interview is not scheduled yet but it should be sometime within the next couple of weeks. Please continue to pray that the next one goes as well as the first!
After my interview I decided to drive to my parents' house so that my mom and I could go Christmas shopping. I pretty much had everything bought for Christmas but Matt's family does a gift exchange every year and so we had two more people added to the list to buy for, so in lieu of sleeping I headed to the mall. Thankfully I accomplished my mission and was able to go home and sleep!
Matt has been very busy this week preparing for an exam tomorrow (Monday). Good luck, Matt! The end of the semester is in sight!
Matt has been working on building up his saltwater aquarium and unfortunately one fish brought some sort of parasite to the rest of the tank. We are now done to one lonely puffer fish, some snails, and some crabs. He has also been trying to build up the coral in the tank and that is looking really good! Hopefully with a few water treatments he will be able to put fish in there again soon.
I had Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off this week which was really nice! I spent Friday preparing the house for guests to come for dinner on Saturday.
Grandma and Grandpa Ward stopped by my parents' house for a few days on their way home from Grandpa's Army reunion in Missouri. We hosted them, Mom and Dad, and Eric for dinner on Saturday evening. I tried a new meatloaf recipe and a maple-pumpkin cheesecake recipe. Both turned out pretty well! I added some homemade mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, and dinner rolls. It was nice to see everyone and to show Grandma and Grandpa our house since they had never seen it before.
After everyone left on Sunday and we were just kind of settling down after a busy day, Mom called and asked if it was okay if Dad and Eric come back. I was going to inherit Dad's old treadmill and they wanted to bring it by that night. I said "sure!" and our back sunroom/bonus room now houses the treadmill!
This afternoon (Sunday), a co-worker's fiance and son stopped by to pick up our old couch. We got a new one a few months ago and had just been storing the old one in the bonus room. It is nice to have the extra space in that room for the treadmill!
Later, I went up to Westfield to watch the Colts game with my friend Katlin. Katlin and I are friends from high school and we both graduated from nursing school at Purdue. We went to a local bar/grill (Fox and Hound) to watch the game and get dinner. We had a good time, even though the Colts lost in over time to the Cowboys.
I think that is it for now! We hope you have a great week!
Stacey, Matt, and Thor
