Christopher's First Marathon




Let's set the scene...it's 5 am on Saturday, 43 degrees out and windy, and Christopher and I are driving out to Seabrook, Galveston for his first marathon! It's early and cold. So here's how it went down...

On the way there, I fall asleep in the car. Christopher got no sleep last night but is having to drive there.

Christopher is in slinky shorts and a thin long sleeve shirt. I'm in Jeans, scarf, gloves, and a huge fur jacket.

When we get there, Christopher eats the bananas that are provided to prepare for the race. I stuff my face with powdered donuts to prepare for HIS race.

Christopher runs 13 miles in the cold. I sit in the car with the heater running.

When we get home, Chritopher makes a protein smoothie. I eat spaghetti and meatballs.

Later on, I fall asleep coz I need a nap. Christopher does some hw.

Is there something wrong with this picture? Lol.

New Job...


Hey everyone. I can't believe it's been 6 months since I've posted an update! Well, even as crazy as this economy has been, I got a job! I just finished my first week. I love this place. It's amazing. It's a natural wellness place and is great! go to www.hotzehwc.com if you want to read more about this place. The people are SUPER friendly, great support, close to home, no weekends, and great benefits! I am so incredibly thankful and happy! I could go on and on about how great life is but I won't bore you guys too much!

I have also finished my 8 tests and passed them all! Go me! I'm just waiting now to get a test date to do my CPNE, which is the skills part of the online program. I have to go to Plano for a weekened to show a medical board that I can do the nursing skills required to get my RN.

So after a pretty tough year in 2008, it looks like 2009 is my year. I'm super excited and incredibly thankful!
