So Many Changes

During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding. 

My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician. 

I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well. 
I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again.

I have also started canning, prepping, and just trying to take care of my family for the future. This year though I am stepping it up and taking it a step further (more posts to come with my progress).

My husband also celebrated our 6th year anniversary and renewed our vows in the Western Caribbean. It was such an amazing experience and we both had a wonderful time.

I am also starting a new blog. So much has changed since starting this blog and I may post on here from time to time but when I made this blog I was so focused on being happy and healthy. While that is great to strive for I also thought that meant I wouldn't worry and my stress and anxiety would be reduced and in some ways gone. That's not the case and then I would worry about worrying, lol. I have grown and now know that it's okay to worry and have anxiety. I should recognize that I have those feelings, feel those feelings, and then move past it. I shouldn't never try to have the feelings in the first place.

So this year I am not focused on being "worry free" more like recognizing worry and then releasing that worry. I may not be explaining it properly but it is how I feel. So I am starting a new blog, most of my posts will be there.  I'll be posting about my life, health, and some posts about prepping too.

This is not a fare well, just a see you later.

My First Day at GNC

Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

We left home Friday evening with plenty of time to spare to get there early Saturday morning, find parking, get checked in, etc. Before we left town we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants and got supper. After hitting the road we went through Tucson and Phoenix with no issues.  After a rest stop in Phoenix with bathroom breaks and stocking up on food and water we were set to drive across the desert with no stops for at least a few hours. About one hour into the desert (1am) we got a flat tire! A nail was left on the side of the road and punctured our tire. Thankfully my Dad was with us. Jake and my Dad managed to get the doughnut on the car. We tried calling AAA but there was an accident and the person coming to help us got flagged down by the police to help out.  After getting the spare on we tried finding a tire shop that was open 24 hours. There wasn't one within 100 miles! We drove to the closest one and then they had to help someone else out so n...
