This week David and I found out that we were approved for a Pediatric Heart Surgery medical mission trip to Vietnam. Man am I glad that David has connections since I have no previous medical experience. We attempted a medical trip to Kenya over a year a ago and the trip was canceled due to tribal fighting in the area and I was super bummed. So, this year I am holding my breath that all works out.
The Bad:
Well, not completely bad, but this week I got laid off. Now, this wasn't really a surprise since I had seen sales declining over the last year, but none the less, not the most pleasant thing to experience. It makes me feel really old. I can honestly say that I feel like I have been prepared for this. Last September I had been praying and fasting about going back to school and things fell into place for me to start classes two weeks later. I started taking classes to apply for a nursing program. Starting to take all the prerequisites back in September has placed me in a position to apply for multiple programs this year. I already sent off one application and am planning on sending off more in the fall. I think the worst part of this lay off is that I might not get to enjoy another excursion on this:
The Handsome:
David and I went to a movie last Saturday at one of the McMenamins' theaters. If you ever come to Portland you will have to check one of them out. They are awesome. They are cheap, have super comfy couches and the theater has tons of character. Luckily this movie only cost us $2.00 cause we walked out at the beginning.
