New Paramedic!!


Congratulations to Jonathan Mark Middleton!! You've officially completed your Paramedic program!!! We are so proud of you and we are so excited at the great accomplishment in your career! Way to go!!

In the beginning it seemed like it would be a long 7 months and we weren't sure how we'd survive being a single mom, fatherless children, and a "gone so much I'm starting to forget what my wife and kids look like" dad...
But as we got through a week at a time, then a month at a time, we soon got into the groove of things and we adjusted just fine as we watched the months roll by. 7 months of long hours, classes, clincal hours, hospital rotations (Emergency Room, Operating Room, Labor and Delivery, etc).... many long hours put in.
Now, looking back it didn't seem that bad... maybe that's because its all over and done with and we no longer have to worry about it. Who knows... either way... WE'RE DONE!!!

Jon we are so proud of all the hard work, commitment, and sacrifices that brought you to this great accomplishment. We love you so much!! We are so happy for you!

that is so exciting - Congrats Jon & Middleton Fam! Rand is going on 2 yrs of studying and taking the CPA exams & that's exactly how it's been since he started studying. Our kids might get to see him for an hour or so here & there and if we're lucky we'll get to spend some time all together on the weekends (but we have to work around studying). We're all counting down the days till his last exam (Aug 28th - only 21 days to go!!).

But hey Paramedic - that is so awesome. Always nice to know that if something happens there's the chance of a friend saving my life :)
