New Beginnings

I guess I should announce that I am now married to my childhood sweetheart. His name is Robert (Rob) Winfield. We were married on July 2, 2010. After his sister learned about the trial I was going through the summer and fall of 2009 she told her brother to look me up on facebook because he also was going through a similar challenge. When we started chatting and emailing each other in February things just clicked for us. We are very similar in our ideals and he is so sweet to me. I feel so loved and cherished. The challenge is building a family around each of our children, he has 6 children Karl 18, Chrisjen 12, Jayden 8, Chloe 6, Shaleena 5, and James 2. They each have a mom of their own that they are loyal to and love, so I could never be their mom, but they love me as much as can be expected in this type of situation. My children are learning how to accept Rob as a father figure in their life, he is patient with them and tries to do fun stuff with them. Rob works for a company called YESCO, as an electronic tester. I am working at Logan Reginal Hospital and still working towards my goal to become a nurse.

No Idea what to write about......

I know it has been a bit of time since I have blogged. I have no excuses except that I have been a really busy mom. I work evenings cleaning the American Fork Hospital and go to the gym every morning and clean the house and...... well you get the idea. I am working towards getting my nursing degree, and found a program here that will get me ready to take the NCLEX for Practical Nursing in a year. After talking to various programs in my area, none of them will accept my Anatomy and Physiology and other prerequisites that I did years ago. Then I found out about this program for LPN and they will take my previous classes. After I get my LPN I can apply to jump into a RN program without doing those prerequisites over. So doing things this way I will finish up my degree in Nursing one year sooner. I am unsure how its going to be working and going to school at the same time, especially when I have to be at school at 7:30 am and I get into bed after work at about 1:30. I hope my body adjusts to the new schedule quickly and I don't fall asleep while trying to study the materials from school. Along with trying to keep my kids feeling loved, fed, and nurtured. I guess we will find out this August. I am grateful that I have good family support helping me through this challenging time.
