Farewell USAFA

USAFA you ask?! It's a nice little acronym for United States Air Force Academy. I've been working there for the past three and a half years as a dietitian for the cadets. It's been fun, but it's time to move on. It sounds like a pretty cool job - counseling cadets on sports nutrition, eating disorders, how to gain weight healthfully. I also write a monthly newsletter for them and some other little things on the side. It's been fun and a great experience to be in the military world with officers and such, and I've made some fun memories with the other dietitian that works there, but as of next Wednesday I'll be moving on. I found a job at a nursing home!! I know it may sound odd to want to go from the Academy to working with the elderly, but I worked in nursing homes before we moved to Colorado and I actually really liked it. It's much more clinically focused - ordering lab work, looking at their medications, planning tube feedings, etc. It's more of the kind of work I enjoy. Plus, and a big plus it is, I only have to work 32 hours a week!!! So, I get a three-day weekend every weekend!!! I'm so excited to have the extra day with Shelby. I'm going to soak in every second of her I can. I start my new job a week from Monday - please keep me in your prayers!!!
