Flu Shot
Today was a big day: I got my first flu shot!!
I have had the FluMist several times before but the reason getting the flu shot is a big deal is because I am VERY afraid of needles.
My family knows all too well how terrified I am of needles and shots. When I was 15, it took my mom sitting on top of me and two sisters to hold down my arms when I had to get a tetanus shot. I was crying, screaming, kicking, and basically acting like a 2 year old in a room full of people; it was awful.
My brother is a pharmacist and he has been teasing me for years about him wanting to give me a shot. Today, I finally let him and it was great! He kept me calm by talking to me. When it came time for the shot, I grabbed Lesley's hand but it was over before I could squeeze. My brother worked magic and it truly didn't hurt.
Miracle!!!
PS: I'm still petrified of needles but it is nice to see I can still face my fears every once and a while.

CPhT
I started my online training on 8/19/15, finished the courses on 9/8/15, and I took my national certification exam on 10/17/15. All together, it took me just under 2 months- yay!!
I am really proud of myself for not procrastinating and getting it done so quickly while still working 40 hours a week.
I am still not licensed in the State of Utah but I hope to get that done this coming Spring/Summer.
My day-to-day job will not change now I am a pharmacy technician, but I can add the certification CPhT to my email signature.
It is amazing to see how much my life has changed in the past year. This time last year I had just come down with Mono and was SO sick. I was so sick that I had to talk to HR about my options and they suggested I apply for a desk job in the office. I transferred to the office in November and was promoted to a Senior Advocate in August. Now I am a certified pharmacy technician. Wow!!
I have been so blessed. I am grateful for the promptings of the Holy Ghost and I know God has answered my prayers.
Our Heavenly Father is amazing and I know He has a plan for each of us. We need to be willing to be led and always trust in Him.
