catching up an old friend...

am in San Francisco. I'm working on the General Medicine floor at UCSF that i've been working on for just over 2 years now. I like it. It's really really hard work, but i am learning a lot and get to love on people all day. It's a mix of sheer frustration and great reward. I've been orienting new nurses to the unit lately and i like the teaching role this puts me in. I live in an apartment in the city, 10 blocks from my work with a wonderful Christian nurse Jung Hee. She's Korean American and a wonderful blessing and great friend. I LOVE my church here and have been involved with a homeless ministry called City Team, as well as a small group (CG)which has given me amazing friends. I just got home from a night of hanging out; we ate at a korean restaurant then to an ice cream shop with exotic flavors (i had jasmine green tea flavor; but sampled the hideous onion and rotten cheese tasting durian flavour before utilizing the wheel to select my flavor for me) then onto play board games (hoopla,sabateur, and scrabble) at anna's house. I am so blessed to have these friends these brothers and sisters to share my life's joys and woes with:) A lot has happened and there is so much i could tell you! But i still take trips to nashville every 3 months or so to see my wonderful siblings, and i'm still a single girl. Still plan to do missions overseas at some point and still gaining experience and skills in the nursing field and feel blessed that God brought me to this beautiful and broken city.
