Finally Finished Just Beginning

by mitb

The last test has been completed and all the paperwork is in. In a few weeks I will finally be working as a paramedic. It has been a challenging road, but I look forward to the new challenges that await me every day. When I was younger I never even imagined that I would find the medical field so interesting. From the chance to help people in their most desperate moments, to the problem solving and quick thinking, each day offers a unique challenge.

I want to thank my wife and daughter for the love and support during my education and training. without them I would have failed for sure.

In a related note I though I would post this advertisement for Bakersfield Memorial Hospital that I was in (if only for a second). I didn’t actually know I was going to be in an advertisement when I showed up for work that day.

UPDATE: 1 week as a paramedic and I’m on the news

First Baby Photos

by mitb

Today we met the new doctor and had our first look at our new addition. The baby is growing nicely and everything appears to be in order. We were not able to tell if it was a boy or a girl yet since the baby had the umbilical cord in the way! We will be sure to update this post once we know.

Fun in the Snow

by gemma

When I went to the snow it was fun and exciting. My friend and I made a fort out of white, feathery snow. There were sparkly icicles on the trees, and one was long and thick but the rest were small and thin. My friend Sarah and I were playing a game about cats. My dad and I sledded down the hill once. The hill was stupid. I hated it! I like playing in the snow instead of going down the hills, but sometimes hills can be fun. When we got too frozen and stiff to play anymore, we went for pizza!! Up in the mountain there was a great pizza place called The Pizza Factory. After pizza we drove home. We went past Lake Isabella and through the Kern Canyon. There was no snow but there were lots of curves. I felt really car sick and I got an earache. when we got home we played Mario Party 8. Then we watched some of Tim Hawkins. We took Sarah home about 7:00pm. I hope we can go to the snow again.
