The Crazy Johnsons: October 2009

Nine months is a long time to wait, when you are waiting for something as cute as this!!! I had to post this cute pic that Jalee and I took of baby Brittin. She is such a beautiful baby, and Jalee is such a great mom!!!

Bryce J.

Bryce was born on June 26th 2003 at a very large 8 lbs. His life started out in an absolute whirlwind. I was in the middle of nursing school, clinicals, and working full time. So, this meant that Bryce was now the youngest full time college student ever at just 9 days. My nursing class just grew to love him. And I have to admit that we did get amazing grades. He was a great study partner. He is busy in third grade, and loves every minute of it. Sometimes I wish he would just stop growing up. He loves playing with his friends and anything to do with football or xbox. He always surprises me with how much info he is willing to share with me. I really love that he feels he can talk to me about anything.

Being a Nurse Means . . . .

You will never be bored.
You will always be frustrated.
You will be surrounded by challenges.
So much to do and so little time.
You will carry immense responsibility and very little authority.
You will step into people's lives and you will make a difference.
Some will bless you. Some will curse you.
You will see people at their worst-and at their best>
You will never cease to be amazed at people's capacity for love, courage, and endurance.
You will see life begin-and end.
You will experience resounding triumphs and devastating failures.
You will cry a lot. You will laugh a lot.
You will laugh a lot.
You will know what it is to be human and to be humane.
