I’m 23 today!

23 years ago today, a star was born!.... Just kidding! But I can dream can’t I? lol Mom and Dad always said I was a princess on my birthday, so we’ll just stick with that!

Check out what my mama wrote me:

“Happy Birthday to my little CarlyMooBarley!

I hope your day is as Special as You Are! I still remember taking you into Wal-Mart on your Special Day for your 1 year old pictures. You were my little 'screech owl' from the day that you were born….and still are to this day ;-)

Meaning that you are Still VERY Vocal and Always make sure that you are heard!!

Your first birthday cake was enjoyed by you, stripped down to your diaper so you wouldn't mess up your pretty Birthday dress. You just smushed your cake with your little paws and smeared it all over your face, just to get a taste of yummy cake!

You were (and Still are) the apple of your Dad and my eye's. You never ceased to amaze us how much mischief you could get into! From taking your first 'four wheelin' ride down the stairs to making your dad holler all over the neighborhood for you to come home! LOL!

You have made us All very Proud of All of your accomplishments and your mass amount of Determination to do ANYTHING you set your mind to!!!

I wish Many more years of Happiness, Joy and Love!

All My Love,
Mom “

I love you too Mom! Thanks!

Pshhh Look at me and my bad sefl!

S= Satisfactory = PASSED! =) These classes were either a pass or a fail grade.
A= I bust my ass all semester to earn that A!

WooooooHoooooooo!

I PASSED STEP 1!

National Registry is an exam process required, at least in my state Colorado, to become certified as an EMT.

STEP 1 is the test of your skills (NREMT skills). I went in to role play, if you will, with “patients” and I was required to assess them based on the specific scenario given by my proctor. I had to complete each skill with basically 100% accuracy (I couldn’t miss any critical steps in giving care) in order to pass each skill. We were tested on a total of 6 skills. Each of which completely different such as assessing a trauma patient, medical patient, performing CPR and using an AED machine, inserting oral and nasal airways, bleeding and shock management, immobilizing/splinting, etc. There are multiple steps for each skill.

I PASSED all 6 skills!

Now I’m on to STEP 2 in a few weeks.

STEP 2 is National Registry written exam (NREMT written).

Wish me luck! This is a huge deal for me and will shape my future!

You're looking at future EMT-Basics!

I am in front on the far right corner =)
