Summer/Fall Pictures 2011

Good things happen to those who wait...

Yes, I sat back and just waited to see if a Radiologic Technologist job would come my way.... and it did! I am now working at Eastern Illinois University's Health Services Clinic, part-time- Monday- Friday 12:00-5:00. The Clinic is closed whenever EIU is closed. I will not be working during EIU's Summer semester, however, I am completely happy having my summer's off!

I am still working at Shear Maddness in Newton. I will be working about three mornings and two evenings a week and possibly some Saturdays :) My mornings may be cut down eventually because I don't forsee my self being too busy.

I started my job on Monday, and by Friday I was starting to feel a little more comfortable. It was definately a challange to learn all the computer programs and such.....I was a little overwhelmed. But overall I really like it. We take x-rays on mainly just the students and the athletes! I'm sure I will get to know all the training staff for all the men's and women's sports before long. I'm really excited about working with the athletes! (since sports are one of my loves)

The Health Service clinic has a Pharmacy, Lab, X-ray, two MD's, 3 NP (Nurse Practitioner), and 1 ANP(advanced nurse practitioner) I may be missing some...I can't remember for sure! I was surprised at how big the clinic was!

A couple of weekends ago Scott, I and the kids took off and went to St. Louis for a couple of days. Kayla had an appointment with Dr. Gordon on her leg that she broke. He said she looks great and that he doesn't want to see her again...unless she wants those nails taken out of her leg.....which she told him she doesn't:) Our next stop was the City Museum and then back to the hotel to change into our Cardinals gear for the game against the Colorado Rockies (which they won!). We also hit the Gateway Fun Park for some go-karts and bumper boats! Next stop was the St. Louis Mills! We all enjoyed walking around the mall and of course Cabela's!

Today I took the kids down to the old school house just off of IL RT. 130 and took some snapshots and I think the turned out pretty good! I hope you all enjoyed my update, I'm sorry they are far and few between! Thanks for reading!
