Dr. Science and Mrs. Emotion

I told you today would be about jobs and our plans for future. So, like the faithful little blogger I am, here is my fulfillment of that promise.

Ben is currently working at the Donor Network of Arizona (or the DNA--coincidence?). He quickly moved up the ladder, getting promoted at lightning speed about four times, and is now training to be a team leader. This is exciting for him because that means he gets paid more and he gets to put that on his applications for medical school. Ben does all the yucky and nauseating things you could think of for this job. And, most of the time, he loves it. You can read his thoughts on the job at his blog, beradical on blogspot. Of course, it is hard sometimes, but Ben tries to look at it from a strictly medical standpoint, which seems to have helped. Ben is beginning his med school applications for next year. We hope to stay in state, but he will again apply to about 15 schools across the country. He met a doctor who seems to have an interest in helping Ben get in, which is exactly what he needed, since we didn't know anyone in the medical field who could help and, as my dad always says, "It's not what you know, but who you know".

Ben is also working to get his medical assistant certification, purely to help him get into med school. He is at the top of his class and could probably go through the next few months with his eyes closed and still be at the top. Ladies and gentlemen, my husband: simply amazing.

My days are not quite so exciting. Since Surrey ended for the summer, I am out of the job. I finished my course with PennFoster and am now a Certified Bridal Consultant. Now that my classes are over, I have quite a bit more time on my hands. So, I am currently looking for a job to hone my skills and get experience in the wedding industry.

I know the last two posts have been rather long but, hey, I had to catch you all up on the past year. I hope to make the following posts short and sweet. Check in to see what's next!
