I got to shoot a big gun! lol it knocked me back

So I have a day off finally! I asolutely hate my new job. It is the underbelly of our society.

So I am hitting the pavement so to speak even harder, and looking at area hopsitals. I am going off the advice of a very wise friend who told me that starting out sometimes you just have to jump in and worry about the schematics later on. So I am taking his advice to heart and doing just that with both feet. I am opting to ease out of my current position, to one that will allow me more flexability to ease into a new job, and my son is playing baseball this year. I am so excited about that. He is loving it, and I want to make certain that he is able to play every game and have his mom there cheering him on!!

So the weather across the US is a little weird huh? Tornados in Wisconsin? WOW!

We had the coldest, snowiest winter on record, and now it looks like we may have the wettest spring. Where it is normally in the 70'and 80's we are lucky to make it over 60 degrees. And the rain, it just never ends...

I am really excited about making it out to Bristol finally this summer. Hopefully the weather will be amazing and I will be able to meet a lot of friends from renspace. I went by our little shire here in Spokane, and saw that they are busy rehersing and preparing for opening day in a week weather premitting.

So, my biggest rush right now, is getting into my new job, and flying out to Bristol in AUGUST!

Oh, and one small little thing, I was driving home from a family members house last night and I never call in to radio stations, but this time I thought what the hell, and I won TOM PETTY concert tickets. YAY! Im so excited about that, its for one of his outdoor concerts at the Gorge in George WA. Beautiful place if I must say.. It is a breath taking place 2 hours from anywhere, and it rests on the crest of a huge gorge that drops down into the great Columbia Basin.

Ok, well I hope you all are doing great and again I cant wait to meet some of you this AUGUST! HUZZAH for BRISTOL!!!

Oh, one last little bit here for the emotional women,maybe men, but doubtfully any of you would admit to it, but did anyone else see the Season Finale of the Tudors? I CRIED when Ann was lead to meet her fate, it was hands down the most dramatic and effective moment I have seen on television in a very long time. I was just curious if I was a emotional wreck over nothing, or was it really that sad? LoL!

Good day to you all. I hope everyone is doing great.  These past few weeks have been very busy for me. With Spring Break now over, Im back to traveling 50% of the time, checking out hospitals, and interviewing with some private practices. Its nerving let me tell you! Not only am I looking for a place to start my career, but a move??? AM I NUTS??

Work has been great, my social life has been put on pause for the next few months. But- I am looking forward to taking my little man off to a faire this summer. :)

He really wants to go to a bigger faire then our little one in the shire, so I promised him we would venture out together and have the time of our lives!

Medically Im checking out great! My blood pressure is a little high, and I attribute that to stress, so I am taking a med for that. Im working out religously and doing whatever I can to stay healthy.

Just wanted to tell everyone HELLLLOOO! And let you all know that we are alive and kicking..

A Prayer for Ash Wednesday

Blessed are you, O Lord our God, the all-holy one, who gives us life and all things. As we go about our lives, the press of our duties and activities often leads us to forget your presence and your love. We fall into sin and fail to live out the responsibilities that you have entrusted to those who were baptized into your Son.

In this holy season, help us to turn our minds and hearts back to you. Lead us into sincere repentance and renew our lives with your grace. Help us to remember that we are sinners, but even more, help us to remember your loving mercy.

As we live through this Ash Wednesday, may the crosses of ashes that mark our foreheads be a reminder to us and to those we meet that we belong to your Son. May our worship and prayer and penitence this day be sustained throughout these 40 days of Lent. Bring us refreshed and renewed to the celebration of Christ's resurrection at Easter.

We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
