It has been a few weeks since the last time I posted. I apologize for that, but it is for good reason. Our family has been very busy. I myself have been reaching toward a new career in the medical field and I have finally chosen where to start. I have been struggling for months with this life altering decision. I have chosen to start the steps needed to enter nursing.
To some this may come as a surprise and for others this may be old hat. I have talk with several friends about their experiences in the nursing field and also their experiences as a CNA (Certified Nurses Aid). After weighing all of the options and mulling over all of the career and educational requirements I have chosen to start with becoming a CNA/PCT (Patient Care Technician).
However, this is not the only thing that has kept me away from writing to my readers. My son, Marcus and his cousin, Isaiah, were running around our house last weekend and having loads of fun, but the fun never lasts forever. The boys were, as I said, running around the house screaming, laughing, and simply having loads of fun. Fun, until they decided to jump off the couch. They found their new found base jumping adventure to be very exciting, but the last time Marcus jumped his Superman cape failed to co-operate and he fell and broke his leg.
Now hold on, this still isn't all! The weather in Michigan was so beautiful a few weeks ago that we went out as a family and bought bikes for everyone. I have been doing my best to get out in the nice weather and get some exercisize and have done pretty well. In the last month and a half I have lost a total of 18 lbs. Renee has also been doing her best and she has lost a total of 13 lbs in the same amount of time. We have not only been biking but also running, and getting our butts kicked by Jillian Michaels with her 30 day Shred.
So as you can see things have been very crazy around the Sutter household for the last few weeks. Oh, but we are so excited. It is looking like Marcus will be able to get his cast off after just two weeks, and the weight loss is still on the rise, or decline (not sure which word to use there) and I will be starting at community college in the fall for my CNA/PCT training.
What a wild ride!! God has been so good. We are so glad that is was Marcus who took the infamous fall rather than his cousin Isaiah (who's family were five hours from home), not that we wished it on Marcus, but if it had to be one of them, that it was Marcus. We are happy that we are losing weight at such an amazing pace, even though it has been so much work. Finally, I am so blessed to have a supportive family and friends who encourage me to run head long into my future rather than play it safe in a dead end career.
How blessed are we?!?!
