DID HE PASS THE TEST?????

When Aaron left to take his test he told me to expect him home in about 3 hours because he was required to be there a little early. So when he walked in the door more than an hour early I was a little woried. I immediately asked him how it went, and he quietly sait "I'll tell you in a minute" I imediately thought Oh no, I am going to have to cheer him up somehow.

He then closed the door and handed me a piece of paper.
HE SCORED AN 89!!!!! According to their system he was one percentage away from getting 100percent!!!!!
Congradulations sweetie!!!!!! I love you so much and I am so proud of you!!!!!

GOOD LUCK AARON!!!

Tonight after he gets off of work, Aaron will head over to the place where he will take his test. If he passes it, he will be nationally certified, and will have A LOT of job oprotunities open to him! So everyone please wish him luck!!! I will keep you posted on what happens!

We Definately Had Some Heavenly Help With This One!!!

Aaron started school in January as I have posted previously. He was in the classroom for seven weeks ( I think) He then went to do his extern at a small lab. It turns out that this was the first time that they had ever dealt with a student at this particular location, and this was VERY hard for Aaron because he was not getting the help that he needed.

As luck would have it, one day the supervisor for this entire regon stopped by to see if Aaron knew what to do as fr as blood draws, processing, etc goes. Then, a week or two later, Aaron got a call from the school telling him that his extern location had been moved, and he was now going to work at the main office. We thought this was a little strange, but decided to make the best of it.

The next day, Aaron came home from the new lab in a wonderful mood! It turns out that this regional supervisor wanted to make sure that Aaron was being taught right so she had him moved to a place where people new how to help a student.

Yesterday, he finished up his extern, but the lady in charge was not there, so he was told to call and make an appiontment with her to schedule a time to pick up his final evaluation, and time sheet. When he called, he was told that they would also go over employment information!

He came home about two hours later WITH A NEW JOB!!!! He hasn't even graduated yet, and won't graduate until the end of May! I am so excited, and proud of him! He will start his new employment in two weeks! I can't wait! He is going to be home with our family so much more now! That was the one thing that was so hard for me while he was in school was that he was gone or asleep almost all the time. Now that he is done that dosn't happen anymore, and I am so thankful for all of the help that we have had over the past couple of months!

He's Almost There!!!

Well, I think most of you know by now. But for those of you who don't, Aaron has been going to school for phlebotomy. He finished up his classes at the end of February, and started doing his extern at the beginning of March.

He is working in a small lab, and absolutely loves what he is doing! He has completed most of the requirements and has only one more to finish! (I think) The only thing that he has to finish is to complete the required number of hours at the lab. The supervisor has already told him that once he finishes this, he will be offered a job with them! He is sooooo excited!!!

I am so proud of him! He has been working so very hard both going to school, and working full time. And all the while insisting that I stay home with the kids instead of working to help us through the time while he is in school. This is a good thing though because we both know that this is where I need to be.

Although he is so busy, and stressed, I have never seen him so happy! I am so happy that he has fianally found a carrer that he truely enjoys! After he finishes his clinicals, he will be able to start working immediatly! And will actually graduate some time in May! He is also studdying to take the state certification test. Once he passes this, he will be able to make a little bit more because the state will recognize him as a certified phlebotomist!

I love you Aaron, and I am so proud of you!!!!!

Back To School!

Aaron has been wanting to go to school for a very long time, and he has fianally done it! This past week, he started studying Phlibotamy! ( I'm so sorry, I know I probably spelled that wrong.) I am so proud of him. He has set his mind to it, and he is going to it!!! The best part is that it won't take him very long to finish. He started January 14th, and he will graduate sometime in March. That includes his clinicals and everything! He is in a class of 12 people, and he absolutely loves going to school! He comes home in a wonderful mood every day, even though he is very tired, because he is also holding down a job. He is working very hard. He goes to schol 4 days a week for 5 hours a day. He then comes home, does his homework, tnen goes to sleep for work. I am so lucky to have him! He does everything in his power to make sure that the kids & I are taken care of!!! When he gradates, the school will help him make sure that he has a job in the field!! I am so excited that he has fianally found a carrer that he is interested in, and I know he is going to do a great job!!!
