Politics

So I went to the republican caucus on Tuesday. Lucky for me caucuses were done by legeslative district this year instead of by precinct. Had they been held by precinct I never would have found the caucus because no one from my precinct showed up or apparently has for a while.
It turns out that when you are the only one from your precinct to show up to the caucus they ask you to fill all 7 positions available.
I didn't think that I could handle 7 titles, so I asked which were the most important, I would do those. So I am now the precinct chair, the county delegate, and the state delegate. I am still not sure exactly what this entails, all I know is that I will be going to a couple of meetings. I assume that there is a little more to it and hopefully someone will let me know what that "more" is.

Celebrating!

I am now officially done training and have completed my first week as an independent Nurse Practitioner. I am SO excited about it.
Really I am excited about a bunch of little things. I have a desk where I can put pictures of my sweetheart. I have business cards and a prescription pad with MY name on them. MY name is on the office door and on the directory on the first floor so my patients know where to find me. I even have a front desk staff and medical assistant. I LOVE IT! My mom and honey told me I should take a picture pointing to my name on the directory, but I am a little embarrassed because I don't think that I am supposed to be so excited about something so not-a-big-deal, but I am.
Since this was my first week taking my own patients there were some gaps in my schedule, I had quite a few empty appointments, but today, today it was full. That was a great feeling. Next week, not so full, but I will keep my fingers crossed that that changes.
Overall I am thrilled! And so excited to finally be here. YEAH!!!!
