I'm Kelsy. I'm a nurse. I work the night shift on a crazy surgical unit and you would not believe the stuff that happens when sick people sleep. To hear more about that and other stories read on....

6, 26, 194 and approximately 78...

It's been 6 months since I've lived here. 26 weeks today. 194 days. About 78 shifts I've worked. In ways it's gone by really fast, but mostly slow. I've been waiting to get to this 6 month mark. Now I start the evaluation phase.
The 1st three months were hard, stressful, mortifying. My soul was mushed on by patients, coworkers and doctors.
The 2nd three months I adjusted. Started sticking up for myself. Learned. Adapted. And still get mushed on every now and again.
Now after 6 months I'm evaluating. I'm filling in the blanks. Am I making a difference? Do I feel fulfilled at the end of they day? Why did God send me to Montana? Is this really where He wants me? What is still undiscovered?
So ladies and gentleman....that is where I am now. I'm evaluating what it is I'm doing here. And it's a good thing. I'm learning. I'm growing. Every day I get closer to where I'm meant to be.

Yes, dear Kelsy you are learning and adjusting and growing and evaluating--all require hard work but are very good and right things. I just mentioned to your folks this weekend that your 6 month anniversary was coming up today (I had noted it somewhere when you started). We continue to be proud of you and marvel at your determination. You are a sweet fragrance to the Lord!

Kels - so proud of you!! I liked the term "mushed on". I know exactly how that feels, too. You continue to make me proud to be your friend and PMS!! And I like having you closer to me, by the way.
