So I obviously don't know how to do pictures on here very well. =/
School has been going great for both of us. I absolutely LOVE my class and am excited about what I'll be doing. I think the majority of the people in the class are getting their CNA just to move on to something else, but a couple of us can look past the poop clean-up, and know that
our job will be very influential for the people that we care for. I can't think of anything I'd rather do than take care of people, serve them, and help them with things they are unable to do for themselves, whether temporarily or permanently. Maybe I'll change my mind after a few months of working, but for now I'm really excited. We start clinicals on the 24th. We will mostly be going to rest/nursing homes to get our practice hours in, but I'm also planning to attend one at the American Fork Hospital. This of course depends on weather I can get all my immunization stuff all together and my background check taken care of.
Chris is doing much better in his math class than we originally expected, which is of course a great blessing! He's doing well with his drawing class as well. He seems to have an interesting teacher to say the least. He has assigned a book for them to be reading throughout the semester as well, which Chris enjoys and likes to share his thoughts about it with me.
One of our assignments for class was to shave a man's face, so we would get some practice on someone before we have to shave someone's face in a nursing home. It was an interesting experience... and I only cut him once (or twice =]).
I take immense pride and joy in making food! The picture above shows a Sunday dinner I made which included rice with celery, carrots, and chicken flavoring in it, chicken with homemade barbecue sauce and bacon on it, a side of broccoli, and fresh avocado and tomato. I'm not a big avocado or tomato person, but I'm generally able to eat anything, even if I don't like it very much. I also like it because it adds such a fresh taste to the meal. =] I can spend hours in the kitchen and be content. If Chris and I can enjoy something, it doesn't matter to me how long it takes to make it! It helps that Chris is so appreciative and, though I usually turn him down, he always offers to help.
Last night I spent a little while making peanut butter cookies. They were supposed to have hershey kisses in the middle, but we didn't have any, so I just piled a couple chocolate chips in the middle instead. And, as you can see from the last picture, I couldn't help making a little surprise for my wonderful husband!
I guess that's all for this post!
