The Vegas Diaries, Part 3

I learned a lot of things this week.

I learned I can bathe an adult. I never thought I could wash an adult rear end that’s not my own. But I can!

I learned that I wasn’t needed after March at the hospital I work at. They won’t need to contract with a travel therapist after I’m done.

I learned that I’ve fallen in love with Las Vegas. I cried pretty hard after I found out I’d be leaving Vegas in a few weeks.

I learned that although I don’t regret taking a travel position, I don’t know if I want to be a travel therapist. I don’t do well with transition, and to be remaking a life (new friends, new place, new job, new church, new everything) every few months would be extremely taxing on me.

I learned that Nevada doesn’t have a Royal Family Kids’ Camp. *thoughts churning* I’ve always wanted to start one eventually.

I learned that personality wise, I’m an ENFJ – Extroverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging. Some of the points that sum up that personality (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFJ.html)
-“Your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.”
            -“They live in the world of people possibilities.”
-“have extraordinary people skills and have the ability to make people do exactly what they want them to do. They get under people's skins and get the reactions that they are seeking.”
            -“May feel quite lonely even when around other people.”
-“People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very straight-forward and honest. Usually ENFJs exude a lot of self-confidence, and have a great amount of ability to do many different things. They are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced. They are usually good at anything which captures their interest.”
            -“Their uncanny ability to understand people and say just what needs to be said to make them happy makes them naturals for counseling.”
“ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element.”
“They get excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present.”
“ENFJs are charming, warm, gracious, creative and diverse individuals with richly developed insights into what makes other people tick.


I learned that I am “a sixth-grade whisperer” and that I still have moves in Just Dance (I won all of the times but one). I love helping out with teenagers.

I learned that a smile can change everything. So many of my patients commented on my cheerfulness. They told me, “you don’t know how nice it is to be around someone as sweet and cheerful as you.”

I learned why I don’t go to casinos. The flashing lights and smell of cigarette smoke give me a headache. Plus the thought of gambling hard earned money makes me sick.

Casino picture!

I learned that I really enjoy Handel's Ice cream and like driving down the Strip at night...All of the lights, all of the lightsssss... 

Hershey's...I don't think it can quite beat the original one.

Excalibur...my favorite casino from the outside!

Handel's Ice Cream


I learned (aka reinforced) that being around people who truly love Jesus feels like family no matter where I am. 


Last but not least, I learned (or it was reinforced in my brain) that I definitely need to be praying hardcore the next few months about my next major life step. I have some ideas, but I want to make sure that I’m following what the Lord wants for me.
