Keeping It Together

As you know I have been working on my masters for the past year and have recently landed an amazing internship. I found someone willing to mentor me provide me with an opportunity that no one else in this industry will ever get. I will be working directly with the System Director of Radiology & Imaging Services at Memorial Health System. He manages the radiology department in 3 hospitals. I will be accompanying him on all his meetings, working on projects and learning about the different hospital departments. I will be able to interact with an influential group of people and I’m sure I will have no trouble landing a paid position after this internship.

As awesome as this all is, I am not fully able to enjoy my success. Anthony’s deployment is not ideal and now I have to worry about what I’m going to do with the girls. This is not a paid internship and the cost of daycare is not cheap. Not to mention the process of trying to find a good daycare provider. If I didn’t care about my kids then I would find the cheapest place and call it a day. I love my girls too much to let anything bad happen to them and I would never forgive myself if I found out they were mistreated.

On top of all of this stuff going on with my internship, I still have to finish school. Finding time to work on my papers is proving difficult. Anthony use to watch them for me while I locked myself in my office, but with him gone, it’s hard to get anything done.

Last few hugs

It was just the girls and I that dropped Anthony off at the airport. Didn’t take many pictures…I’m sure you all can understand. Jo and Ana did get some disposable cameras in the deployment care packages the AFR gave to them and took a ton of pictures. I’ll have to develop them soon.

We’re hanging in there. Trying to stay busy and get on a schedule. Keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.
