Life is not full of endings, just new beginnings

How true is this title? So I retired the weber state nursing badge, just to enter another world full of challenges and lots of mom's and children.

I started at the Pediatric Treehouse on Monday and worked again today as i had class yesterday. Working a 8-5 job is a whole new world...and I am not sure exactly what I think about it, but I am definately looking forward to the paychecks and am so very blessed to have the opportunity to work at an awesome place where the benefits are wonderful. The income ought to be much more consistent and steady than a poor cute little firehouse waitress's wages. Those were good days and I thank all of you who realize that servers make 2.15 cents an hour, 3.00 if your lucky and work long enough at FH to get a raise. High schoolers and many mothers with messy children just don't understand this. So I thank all you wonderful tippers for making my night! Fire House was a perfect place to work at in college and they were really flexible with my schedule. Thank you Fire house!
Rob and I have some new and exciting challenges ahead of us and I am kind of excited! We are going to do a 40 mile bike ride for a multiple sclerosis fundraiser. Rob wants to do like a 70 miler, and he says a 100 miler "would really push me." 40 Miles will push me just fine...in fact if anyone is willing to help pull me across the finish line that would just be great!
I found out at work today that the Pediatric Treehouse sponsors it's employees if they want to run a half marathon (Top of Utah)...so I offered this challenge to Rob and he accepted it! Man, if this really plays out I will be droppin some pounds and I feel really good about that...marriage has taken a toll on my body. :) The training is the stuff that might kill me or more likely kill my newly developed high aspirations. Rob and I did ride up 400 north though today and past 1st dam and up and around the temple...not bad huh? It was a good 45 minute ride...go team! Any ideas for a sweet team name?
Have I ever mentioned how awesome my husband is? He is cooking me dinner right now while I blog my night away... I love you Robert Bradley Bowles! Honestly, he is a serious killer cook...and it is a good kind of kill.

I did a 26-mile bike ride when I was 14 and cried a lot of the way. But it's actually a lot shorter than it sounds. I have faith that you can do it!
