MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
What a year 2009 has been for us. We have both been very busy doing new things this year.
Scott took on a second job working for Mercy Medical Center in the Emergency Department. He has decided he likes the ER much better than working in the ICU. After January he plans to work only at Mercy. He was also given an awesome opportunity to become the Southwest Idaho Regional Coordinator for a company called Need a Nurse Medical Staffing. Scott’s church calling this last year has been teaching Gospel Doctrine, which he has enjoyed. In his spare time he is looking at heading back to school.
Susan helped Idaho State University move into a new building over the summer which was quite a feat. This summer she also received an opportunity for a promotion, Admin Assistant for the College of Pharmacy. The program is expanding from 60 students this year to 160 students in the next 3 years. Susan also learned how to do medical billing. She is doing a little bit of billing on the side for a Speech Language Pathologist and an Occupational Therapist, unsure of how she would like this; she is starting to get more comfortable with it. Susan was also approached by Need a Nurse Medical Staffing to be their Human Resource Coordinator and help Scott with paperwork. Then as if she has nothing better to do when there is time she still works with Primerica helping people get out of debt. Susan’s church calling is teaching Relief Society which she enjoys. She is also the new Girls Camp Director which she’s ecstatic about but feels very overwhelmed because it’s a Ward camp instead of a Stake camp.
The most exciting news of the year is we received our approval to ADOPT through LDS Family Services. We know that you all are very excited for us and will be even more excited when a child is placed with us. We are really excited to go through this process but have met many ups and downs as we have traveled through the phases of preparing our profile. We have now come to a phase called the “searching and waiting phase.” This phase is one that we need all of your help with. Tell everyone you know that we are adopting. To help you all do this we have included our profile information and contact information. Someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, is how most adoptions happen. We also need your patience with this process. If you have not heard the explosion of excitement from us just assume we are still looking and waiting for our child. It was once said that, “Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.” We know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for our family; it just takes patience on our part to let his genius plan work.
Thank you for all your love and support in our adoption journey.
Know that we love and miss all of you. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Love,
Susan & Scott
