Working girl

Do I look like I'm ready to save some lives, or what?? Not really. And, I sure don't expect to have to while working in an OBGYN clinic!

I have been blessed with such an awesome job. Long story short: I heard about an opening for a full-time clinic nurse from a friend of a friend, emailed my resume that day, had an interview with the head nurse the next Tuesday, interviewed with the doctor on Thursday, thought both could not have gone better, and was told that I'd hear from them either way on Friday. Nothing on Friday or Monday, so I called on Tuesday and was told that they couldn't wait on my temp license to come in and had to hire someone that could start that week. I was so extremely bummed. I thought for sure that the way it all had come about meant that this job was meant for me. Little did I know that God had an even better plan..... Right as I had started back at square one in trying to find a job, I got an email from the head nurse asking if I'd be interested in being the prn (as needed) nurse for the clinic. So, now instead of working everyday, I only work 3 days a week and get to spend the other 2 with my girls this summer!! Moral of the story: God's answer isn't always "yes" or "no"....sometimes it's "just wait". He never ceases to amaze me.....

4 years and hundreds of study hours later......

And the day finally came! "Better late than never"....those are words to live by. Even though I regret that I've missed out on 10 years that I could've been practicing nursing, I wouldn't have Scott and the girls and the blessed life that I have today, and for that reason, I am oh so glad that I waited. I loved and appreciated my college experience immensely and will miss all of the special people that were in my class. I'm excited to start this next chapter in my life entitled "Working Class Citizen" (and know that Scott is equally as excited). Sherri Primm, RN....has a nice ring to it :)

5th grade Little Olympics

I think it's so cool that I did the Little Olympics when I was in 5th grade, and it's something that they've continued to do through the years. Holland was super pumped about competing! She tried out and earned herself a spot in the 240 relay and the 440 yard run. She and her buddies did the 240 relay together, and did really well! The first time out, they came in 1st which meant they got to go again to compete for medals. The second time, they came in 4th and just barely missed out on bronze. Oh well, they had a great time regardless! Then, it came time to run the 440. Holland was psyched along with about 20 other girls who all realized that the inside is where you want to be if you want to win. Needless to say, the gun fired, she took about 3 strides, and was tripped up. Down she went, face-first on the track. My poor baby....I felt sooo bad! She walked away with a few bumps and scrapes and got to use a really cool latex glove/ice pack that her teacher made for her. All in all, it was a fun day!! Beautiful girls: Teagan, Holland, Jane Ellen, Emily, Sally & Chansley

The best coach ever!! He really loves these kids!

Game-face on: check!

Shaw & Young side-by-side. Booooooo!!! Hissssss!!!

I'd say it was all fun & games, but it obviously was not.

Do a little dance.....

Right before the wipeout.....man, was she focused! She would've won. I just know it.

The first swim of the season

Kids are crazy. That's all I gotta say. Yes, the day may have been warm, but the water was NOT! There's just something about that blue water that draws you in....and something about that sub-zero degree water that has you jumping out. Either way, Payton and her buddy, Raeghan, had a great time!
