May/June

We finally had Glenn, Kathy, Heather, Nathan and the kids over to our apartment. I think it was in May. We had dessert, played outside a bit, some played games, and read books. It was fun to have them over to our place for a change.

I also completed a CNA course in June. I enjoyed the class way more than I thought I would. There were 10 students in my class. It was at Life Care Center of Kennewick. The drive got kinda old. But, it was a great experience. I think it will give me a lot more confidence when I start my RN program in the fall. I didn't enjoy changing briefs or giving showers for the elderly. But, I will also say that it wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. The photo above is Peggy, Kim (our instructor), me, and Amy. P, A, and I tied for the highest test score average :) (99% baby). Now I'm just waiting to get a date to take the state test. Yes, I am currently unemployed. It is an adjustment, but I'm not bored yet! My mom has been getting me into a few sewing projects and I am lovin' it!

One of the neatest things about my class was the ethnic diversity. There was How Vung, from Burma (she was an RN there), Rihanna from Pakistan, and Imelda from the Philippines. I got pretty close to several of my peers. Rihanna tells me that she wants to move to Othello someday:)

My mom made this cute apron for me! She helped me make one for Heather a few weeks ago. I never knew sewing was this fun!
