Last shift in the desert


Well, tomorrow I am heading into my last shift at Second Nature Entrada. It seems like just yesterday I was going into my first shift, shaking like a leaf on a tree. And that is pretty much how i'm leaving, just more tears this time.

Here is the post before my first week...

How funny how time has changed, now I'm feeling the total opposite about being here. The Lord can be tricky that way.

I will be heading back to a group that I've worked in the past 4 shifts, so I've got some relationships with the girls and I spent my first week at entrada in Group 4, and my 1 year anniversary in Group 4, so it is only fitting that I end there. The therapist for G4 is an amazing man that I have built quite a relationship with and am happy to end it with him.

I will def have more posts next week hopefully as I am getting ready to leave the wonderful state of Utah.

We have think called Inservice every tuesday morning before going into the field and obviously tomorrow is my last one...Jp is doing a training and not working a regular work week, but is coming to inservice anyway to support me because she knows it will be an emotional thing for me. What a friend right!?
