It is official!!!



I DID IT!!!!!! I am officially certified as an EMT-Basic in the State of Utah. I am SOOOOO excited!!! After anxiously waiting for the last 6 days I got the letter in the mail today. It's weird, this is the first test I have taken that has really meant something to me. To me it proved that I can do whatever I put my mind and heart in to, the possibilities truly are endless.

There has been a lot on my mind lately about what I was sent to this earth to do, what my purpose is. I want to be a mom, don't get me wrong, I will not turn down an opportunity to start a family, but until that point comes what I am supposed to do. It feels like I may have finally found my field, something that I love, and that I feel like I am good at. I know that it has taken me a long time to figure this out, and I appreciate all the love and support through those tough years, now the decision is, what do I do in this field?!?! Medical school? Physician Assistant school? Physical Therapy School? Paramedic School? Nursing School? Nurse Practitioner School? It's strange, I feel like I could do anything if I really wanted to, but I just don't know what it is I want. If I didn't ever want a family I would go to medical school in a heart beat, but is it worth the debt? worth the wondering and waiting about when/how to have a family? This is just a small glimpse of what is constantly on my mind. Maybe someone out there has some insight that will help make sense of all of this.

Finals have begun. I took two today: nutrition and athletic training. I got a 91% on nutrition which is the lowest I could get and still get an A so I think I pulled that off. I am not sure how I did on athletic training, i was not as confidant for that one, maybe because I didn't study too hard =) Two more to go and then I am on my way back to the east coast!!! The closer it gets the more excited I am!! I really feel in my element back in maryland, I feel safe and secure, confidant in who I am. Strange how a state will do that to you huh?

Enough of my ramblings. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND because I will be studying and packing!
