So I feel like my life is crazy! This post will probably be so random, just hang in there please and let me get it all out...
First (if I can even categorize things) I am just a little emotional this week... need I say more? I don't think so, mother nature is to thank! Note to self you've been a little on edge at times apologize to Jared!
Next item of ranting, I don't like I.H.C or is it just the management at the Hospital where my wonderful, honest, hardworking husband works? I shouldn't say too much about this but I will. I will say upfront that Jared works with some great people. There are some tech's and nurse's who are hardworking, honest, caring people there are others that I will not comment on. Thank you to those people that I know "have his back" in any situation, this is very comforting to me and I appreciate it! (P.S. to Jared's coworkers I think the B-Med Bacon is hilarious!)
His managers however are another story! They treat Jared like crap! He goes above and beyond at his job and the "thanks" he gets from them is to be accused of having a "bad attitude" at work or a hug from his manager... who is like a 50 year old lady! Uh, don't touch MY husband please - especially after just ripping on him during a meeting, your "warm fuzzies" are not welcomed here!! Jared has a lot of integrity and a very strong, honest work-ethic, if something is not right he will voice his opinion. I don't believe this could be considered a "bad attitude" it is your "bad management" skills that are to blame here! Don't get me wrong Jared can and will defend himself, but I want him to know that I have his back too! I many not be very intimidating but just tick me off and you'll wish you hadn't. The wrath of Davian is not pleasant or kind, I can be a mean girl! Plus... my Dad can still kick some butt even if one hand is bandaged! Gurr... they make me so mad! I'm not even their employee and I am so upset.
No, no I can not be done with out mentioning that they didn't approve Jared's time off for our anniversary!! This is our first anniversary! It's not like we have been married for 47 years and can't remember what day our anniversary is or if we put in our dentures! This is the first one! Let us celebrate our happy marriage and anniversary without a weekend at work! Aahh, it feels so good to vent about this, I'm starting to feel better already!
It is offical... Jared and I will be moving at the end of this month to a new apartment just 7 houses away from my parents. If I fall behind on posting in the next couple of weeks this is why! We are both very excited about the move, but sad to be moving away from Jared's family! Due to tradition it was bound to happen though, all three of my siblings lived in my parents ward within a year of each getting married. I am most looking forward to having my Mom and Sister so close. Then on weekends like this when Jared is working I can hang out with them!
Switching gears to my work situation this week, this is a BIG switch so take a deep breath and calm down... okay that was more for me than for you! I have a patient who is amazing! I feel like she has become like a sister to me the past few months. This week I have seen amazing strength and growth from her. At 25 weeks pregnant (full term is 40 weeks) she went into labor and delivered just over a one pound baby. Many doctors and nurses fought to save her little one's life but due to his prematurity he passed away just three hours after his birth. My heart aches for her so much at this time. I have cried for her and have been constantly thinking about her and praying to know what I can do or say to be of support to her. Most importantly I have been praying for her strength, comfort and peace. She is a young, single, high school student, but you wouldn't know this by talking to her. I saw her today for the first time since the passing of her baby, she looked great and gave me a big hug. I am so impressed by her knowledge and wisdom at such a young age. She said she knows this happened for a reason and knows that the medical staff did all they could for her and her baby. See, she really is such a strong person at such a young age!
(Not crying yet? Go to www.ninetynineballoons.com this was forwarded to me in an e-mail from a co-worker. Have tissues close by as you watch! Life is too precious to not thank and celebrate life with the ones we love!)
This experience again reminded me how much I enjoy my job! I am so thankful I have the opportunity to work with people of all walks of life. I am so thankful that they let me into their lives to share in their joy, pain and sorrows. In the past five years at the clinic I have learned so much! I have grown to care about complete strangers, learn and try to comprehend what they are going through and worry about their well-being. I hope I have made an impact in someway in their lives as they have on mine.
To end on a happy note: Our first anniversary is coming up in just 3 weeks on Sunday! Can you believe it? We are trying to plan a fun trip or activity for the weekend but we will also be moving so we'll see what happens! We are thinking about going to The Roof restaurant in SLC, has anyone been there? How is the food? Do we need reservations?
If you are still reading this Thanks! I needed to just vent and talk about life for a minute.

Oh how I miss working with you Davian! I was going to coment on the Roof restaurant. We have been there and we liked it. Yes your need reservations. I think it is 35 dollars a person and it is all you can eat buffet. I know that sounds like golden coral or something but the food is gormet food. We really liked it and the view is amazing!!
So Davian, my Sister-In-Law also works for IHC and has a lot of complaints. Apparently in her department they don't like to fire anyone ever. A lot of people just won't show up for work and she gets stuck with the overload. She worked until a few days before she delivered her baby 3 months ago and the guys she worked with let her lift patients and other heavy things while they played on the computer and watched her. I mean literally played... solitaire, etc... She had an ex-football player she had to take care of and he fell out of the bed because he didn't have control of his lower body. She had to catch him and put him back in bed while 9 months preggo! I was so mad for her! She gets to quit in a week though so I am happy for her. I hope Jared can hang in there! Good luck with your move.
Hey! Thanks for venting. It makes me not feel so horrible when i do. That I'm just like everyone else. That is so sad about the patient who lost her baby. I would be crushed. After having two kids of my own, I can't imagine losing one in any sort of way. Where are you guys moving to? We're moving to Utah in July and are trying to find cheap, but yet nice and affordable place to live. What would be perfect is living somewhere rent free for even 6 months while we save for a house. Any ideas, let me know!
Davian
You are such a great person and a good example of we should all be. I KNOW how hard it can be to sympathetic to your patients. (especially mine who come in to have their dentures adjusted, but then they forgot them...hello...) Anyway, I was reminded of how I need to be better, not just at work, but in general, so thanks. Also, Welcome back to the old Kolob Ward huh? Do you think you could work your way back to Librarian? Good Luck..it sounds like you are doing well. Oh, and Happy Anniversary, isn't being married the best??
Davian, wow you sure were venting! We all have days like that. Some time my days turn into weeks of frustration,lol,no kidding. Sad to here about the girl losing her baby. I can't imagine. Babies are a miracle,and so fun. I miss my job as a medical assistant, but glad I can stay home with Isaiah. I am so thankful that Steven wanted me home to care for him versus daycare.
Davian!!!! I haven't seen or talked to you in such a long time, and I apologize for being such a slacker. I had Porter a few days before your wedding so that is why I didn't make it. Anyways...I see your dad all of the time, I think he is remodeling a home right across the street from mine? Am i right?...is that him or am I just delusional? Me and Sean live on 400 East, in a white siding home. Where are your parents moving to? Or did they already move out of the house that I know to be the one you grew up in? Where are you moving to? Geeze so many questions huh? Let me know how you are doing. Oh by the way you look awesome!!!!
