My New Job and Title

So just this past week i got a job interview for a night position as a patient care assistant. Meaning i will be trained as a secretary and a nurses assistant. I was told the day after the interview that i got the job. So starting November 3 i will be a night shift worker. I will be working on the fourth floor of the new Cardon children's hospital that opens on November 2. This is going to be a big adjustment for me and Paul i will be spending three nights away from him a week and if my days are clustered together i could go days without seeing him. Not to mention i am going to be on a totally different schedule then my husband, but i guess this is life as an adult and do what you have to do. I guess it will just make our time together that much more special and i will just get used to not having as much sleep. The pay raise will be quite nice though, hopefully leading to us getting a new car and a house by next fall.

My Birthday Weekend

This weekend me and Paul went to Greer, which is in northern Arizona. It was such a nice and relaxing trip. We stayed at the greer lodge resort. Our room was very nice and cozy and had an awesome jetted tub and walk in shower. I was sick so this was the best vacation i could have taken. The temperature was so nice. Daily highs were in the 70's and at night it dropped to the 30's. This was a great way to spend my birthday weekend and i hope we get a chance to do it again soon.

Our First Try As Parents.....

So two weeks ago i was able to find someone who was getting rid of baby desert tortoises. Well about a year and a half ago Paul lost a russian tortoise and never quite recovered from the loss. So i came home and asked him if he wanted these babies. He about jumped out of his skin with excitement and said yes. So that weekend we went and picked up these two week old babies. I must say Paul just loves these tortoises to death. He feeds and soaks them everyday and even takes them on walks. I can tell he will make a great dad some day.

Saturday Night Out

On Saturday me and Paul were invited to go to the Diamondbacks game with Paul's aunt and uncle and their friends. The dbacks won the game 9-0 which was awesome but the even cooler thing was that after the game Montgomery Gentry played a concert right there on the field. Me and Paul really enjoy country so this was a special treat. The guys were sweating like crazy on the stage being that it was 113 outside but they did a really good job and are great live. It was hilarious during the concert there was this fat middle aged drunk guy and a girl that was also drunk every song they were dancing all over the place and kept us laughing the whole time. After the concert there was a very cool firework show, the finale was really good.

My New Job At Work

So yesterday at work i had a new responsibility not just running around like a crazy person doing vitals and measuring pee and making beds. We were kinda short staffed at work and i was asked to help answer phones at the nurses station so i said sure. Well in not to much time we find out i am going to be the only secretary there. I have never been a secretery before i have gotten pretty good at doing the gross stuff not the comupter stuff. But i was like well if someone can show me how to do it i will give it a try. So alot of the nurses were helping me with the orders and for twelve hours i played secretary. So now i might have a dual role title at work it is called a PCA. Pretty much i will be a trained CNA but also a trained secretary. SO whatever the needs may be i will do the floor one day and maybe the desk the next. It kinda spices things up not always doing the same job everyday. It was a pretty cool day and i was so greatful for the nurses i worked with yesterday they were all sooooo helpful!

An Unexpected Day Off

So today I was so excited! It was 4:55am when I was sleeping and was awakened by my cell phone ringing and since I was expecting to work today this phone call immediantly got me excited. You see at my job sometimes we do not have enough patients on the floor for all of the staff who are scheduled to work. Well this weekend was my weekend to work but Paul had the weekend off, therefore making me very sad that he would be home while I was working. So anyways, I picked up the phone in my half awaken sleep saying hello. The team leader was like Jenna guess what? I get to cancel you today and I was like really oh thank you and totally got to sleep for another four hours. Right now Paul has forced me to get on here and blog about my day as he is doing oil changes on our two cars and I was getting in the way. The jobs are taking a while and is not exactly how I wanted to spend my day off with him, but oh well I should not complain nonetheless. I have no idea what else my day will have in store for me except maybe a trip to the lovely grocery store I guess I will just have to wait and see......

California Trip Day 4

The last full day we had was pretty layed back it was sunday and we were pretty tired from all we had done the previous three days. Especially with Paul being sick we did not want to go over board. So on the last day we watched movies went to the san diego temple and went to dinner at applebee's. I must say the San Diego temple was so beautiful and the grounds are so green. I wish we could have stayed some more time so we could have done a session. Only downer of going to the temple was they did not have a visitor's center so we did not get to see the inside at all.

California trip day 3

On the third day we saved pretty much the whole day to go to the beach. We went to mission beach which was absolutely packed with people but me and Paul found a spot to lay and relax. Well for the first forty five minutes i went and took on the waves with my body board, deff got mauled by some waves and got salt water in my mouth. Paul stayed on the beach tanned and dug himelf a whole that got filled with water. I tanned or should i say burned the rest of the time we were there. My back got the worst of it but i did not want to post those pics. Pauls feet got burned the worst for him. We hope all this red will turn into tan soon.

California Trip Day 2

So on the second day that we were in Cali we went to breakfast at denny's then headed down to the San Diego zoo. Neither me or Paul had ever been there so we were excited. It was a really big zoo and lots of kids from summer schools were there. It kinda stunk though because every animal i was really excited to see so many people were standing in the way so i did not get to see the polar bears or the pandas. But we went on a tour guide bus around the zoo and took the sky ride over the zoo which was really cool. After the zoo me and Paul went and saw Harry Potter 6 and I loved it. Then we went to California Pizza kitchen. I managed to end the day with only my neck burned. I cannot say that was all i walked off with after our third day.

California Trip Day 1

Me and Paul just got back from san diego california today. I have some time so i wanted to post the pictures that we took. Paul got bronchitis right before we left. We went to urgent care the night before we left. The doctor prescribed anti biotics and steroids, he started taking them that night. Once we got Paul's sickness under control we hit the road at 7am. It took us about 6 hours to get to our hotel, the best western seven seas in san diego very close to the sea world. All we really did that first day was get checked into the hotel look at the very good mall close by and head down to oceanside. Very long first day.
