Old friends, New jobs?

The last 3 days have been so packed! I worked Wednesday night and then met my friend Seth for breakfast. He's been in Scotland for the past 4 months working on his book, so we had lots to talk about and catch up on!


After that I met up with my college roommate Erin and her new baby. We had coffee and got all caught up before she flew out to AZ for little Eli to meet his great-grandma. How nice to see her again! The amazing thing about the relationships I have with my old roommates is that we can go months without talking and then pick up right where we left off. Very nice. And I got to have some good "Eli time"! Then I went home and took a 2 hour nap before meeting a friend from work for dinner and a movie. By the time I got home I was ready to crash! Sleep after a good day like that feels so great!














On Friday I picked up Megan from work - she's been here in Denver all week for training - and we hung out all afternoon! It was just like old times - shopping at Goodwill, sushi, ice cream and movies! It felt like she never left. She and I are going to church tomorrow before she heads back to CA. But the whole Beeney clan will be back the end of March so I'll get to see my Joshua again!

On the business end of things, I had an interview at Parker yesterday. A few days ago the director approached me and told me he was impressed with the job I was doing. I was a little leery of the compliments, but he was sincere. That's nice to hear once in a while! Anyway, he said that he and the manager have been watching me and want me to be a charge nurse in the ER. ME! A CHARGE NURSE! As it turns out there's a weekend-only night position that's available and pays as much as I'm making with the float pool so I wouldn't have to take a pay cut and would be able to put down some roots and get involved with the department. Plus it has benefits, which I'm paying for out of pocket right now, and sick/vacation time! How great!

The only thing I was worried about was the fact that I've never been a charge nurse before - the director said that's why it was funny. The words "potential" was thrown around a lot - again, very flattering. So I'm getting the offer letter on Monday and I think I'm going to take it! Won't be able to go on month-long missions trips for a while, but the 2 weeks I'm planning for next summer in Africa will definitely be doable... :)
