It was So COOL!!

OH wow it was so amazing!

Last week I was given the opportunity to shadow a dermatologist. This office does more cosmetic treatments like I want to do! I was able to watch mole and wart removals, chemical peels, injections, laser treatments, and even a biopsy! (for the biopsy I am sure I watched with my mouth wide open in amazement) I have always said I wanted to do dermatology and that day confirmed it for me. I was able to sit down with Ms. M and discuss the steps I would have to take to achieve my goal. I have such a passion for this and I know these next (NINE) years are going to be rough but I know it will be worth it in the end. And with this job I can do what I love and still have the family that I want and be an involved mother. I just cannot wait to see what these next years hold for me. I have already learned so much in just this past month! Thank you all for standing by me. Your loving words and encouragement me so much, even when you don't think so! You have been there through it all and I know you always will. I have an awesome family and I love you guys!

FYI- I am going to be all over yal about taking care of your skin and wearing sunscreen after seeing all of the people, some as young as 30, being treated for cancer and pre cancer spots for not wearing proper protection. Sarah, No More Tanning In Tanning Beds for you and I. Now it's all natural or spray tans. I was so scary to think of how common skin cancer is! They told me of a woman that came in for a spot on her arm and was dead 6 months later. So wear the proper protection so we don't have to see you go through it too.

**Oh yeah, AND I chopped all of my hair off! I will post a pic asap!

It's Going, And Fast

HI! Sorry I have not written in so long. Things are really changing in the Raymond family. I am leaving in a week (well and a few days) for the big "ATL" with the family. I am supposed to be boxing up everything and I have not really seen too much progress being made. Things are going great!! Rachel and Chris found out that they are having a baby...just kidding! We are going to have 3 moves in this family tho because..Chris did find out he got the job in GA!!! YAY I am so proud of those 2. Now they will be only 30 min from Mom, Dad and Care Bear! Looks like I am being left behind :) Chris told me, "Brit that means I have a whole summer to talk you in to staying up there." Well, I guess I will have to see how things are. I am still going to look at the schools up there and see how I like them. I know they all want me to be with them and especially poor ole dad. He misses me :) That is something you can pray for me about. Pray for wisdom to make the right decision. And if it is to move back here to USA pray that God will surround me with godly friends who will love me and hold me accountable. Those are things I need even now.
After talking to The Wise, The Wonderful Mr. Scott (LOL) I think I may even get another job for the summer. Just something I will be able to put money aside for school! --pray for that too!

Latest on Ryan:
As some of you know Christina's bf, Ryan, has been battling cancer this year. He took his "last" treatment last week and was put in the hosp. over night for fever and an infection. He left Monday for MD Anderson in TX to have a second opinion on the next step. Doctors are wanting him to do a Stem Cell Transplant to increase his chances of the cancer not returning. The scare is that his immune system will be week and for 3 months even a cold could be harmful to him. The problem is Ryan is the only child and may have problems finding a donor. Please keep Ryno and his family in your prayers. Pray that God will provide a way and make him safe and strong. I am going to try and find out more about being a donor for him. If you know anything please feel free to comment.
Hugs and Kisses to you all!!
