Disappointment

Have you ever tried to plan something with the best of intentions and everything seems to be going great? You've got your group of people and all the assignments sorted; the date and the times are set - it is going to be a blast...Then all of the sudden a couple of people drop out here and then a couple more drop out there until only 4 of the 14+ people who were going to go can actually make it (and that's including you). THEN the details and plans start to fall apart and you really start to question if this is going to be more work and stress then it is fun, or maybe that you shouldn't be going because this is a sign that something horribly tragic is going to happen?? It is so disappointing when this happens, I just want to scream/cry....

Yay, yay, yay, yay, yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!

So I got the call today, and....I made it into the nursing program! YAY! Applications were due on March 31st and I gathered (from those who've gotten in before me) that it would take just over 2 months to hear "yay" or "nay." I couldn't even stand to talk about it while waiting to hear because I would get such bad anxiety. LOL Well, it's been just over 2 months - guess they were right on the dot about that! The reason this is so exciting is because I applied through Intermountain Health Care/Salt Lake Community College (IHC - who I work for). It's a way for IHC employees to apply competitively instead of getting on a 2 year waiting list. They say that they get about 200 applicants every time and only let in about 40, so we feel very blessed. After all of the prayers and fasting I know that Heavenly Father has prepared us for any outcome, but this is the best we could have hoped for :) My work will be paying full tuition as well as partially covering books - This alone is a major blessing! Then once I graduate I will have a 2 year work agreement with them. I just wanted to share the exciting news with everybody and can't wait to get started this fall...YAAAAYYYY!
