No More Waiting

25 January 2012

So I am going to be 28 tomorrow. Speaking with my Nana on the phone today she teased how I was going to be 26 on the 26th, I did correct her but assured her it was alright and she could continue to tell EVERYONE that. 26 wasn't bad. Full of lots of lots of positive change and damn it 28 is going to be. I'm almost 30 and not that I had a ton of personal goals but I've only managed a few. I'm going to make things happen this year. My birthday is like New Year's for me.

Things are going good but there is a lot I want to do. I'm taking small steps each day towards. This year I am going to take and complete a Phlebotomy Certification course and hopefully land a job at the hospital or the local lab down the road from it. Once I do that I am going to look into the 8 college classes I need in order to become a lactation consultant. I'd really like to avoid the hospital in that aspect and work for the Department of Health or independently but I'd really like to get IBCLC Certified. This is stability for me. It's passion as well. Two of my good friends; M and M, both with newborns are nursing and advice seeking and it's come so naturally and they are beyond appreciative. It makes me feel good and it really is a cause that I am passionate about.

For now though, the balls are rolling just not fast enough. I'm waiting on IRS documents from last year to attach with my financial aid application. I hope things go smoothly here on out as Phlebotomy Cert. starts March 1st.

I can't say I am wedding planning again yet, but I can say in my new addiction to pinterest I've been able to collect many thoughts, more than I have in the last 6 months so. Find me on pinterest if you desire, http://pinterest.com/corafk/

So Many Things.

21 January 2012

There are so many things I want to do and need to do.

I'm currently filling out some financial paperwork to hopefully get accepted into a local Phlebotomy Certification program and get my life going somewhere better. Better for all 4 of us. Rich is doing what he needs to do and wants to do and I'm just like "a-duh" and it's not getting better. I love working in the medical field but I've had it with facilities. Just had it. It's a 24/7/365 job, not that working in a lab wouldn't be, but I'm just hoping for the difference that I need.

I'm hoping to be on track with wedding planning much sooner than later. Amends have not been made with certain future in laws, but I'm right here, always up for talking, but you cannot talk with those whom carry on like you do not exist and believe in the blocking of every shape or form in electronic communications. I will be Mrs. Knight someday, and people can love it or hate it cause I know I can't wait.

I've never actually wanted to marry someone, I've never desired that eternal connection, previously could have cared less about all that junk until I met him... It all changed that night. One night can truly change the rest of your life and significant impact it. I'm so happy. I'm a very fortunate gal and I have much to be thankful for.
