Making a lot of changes.

I have decided that I need to get in awesome shape. I mean I have two boys and I want to keep up with them for a long time. I have taken up running. I really enjoy it. I have a goal to run in my first 5K on July 3rd, the Firecracker 5K for the Ronald McDonald House of Pensacola. I feel if I can do it, then I will be honoring Thomas also. Kev was going to run it with me, but he has had a small set back when he hurt his back a few weeks ago.

I also feel like getting in better shape will help me get more focused. I have decided I want to go back to school. I will be taking an accounting class this fall at PJC and then taking the GRE in the winter and hopefully fall of 2011 will be enrolled in UWF. I want to get a Master's in Healthcare Administration. Hopefully I will be able to get a job here in Pensacola, if not will be looking some place in Florida. I would like to eventually work for Studor Group or Joint Commission. While the boys are young, I don't want a job that I'd have to do a lot of travel.

Sad

These last few weeks have been really sad for us. The beach that we love so much, maybe ruined from a massive oil spoil in the Gulf of Mexico. It is funny, because I never realized how much I loved it until I knew it might be ruined. It is more than my home, it is more importantly a home to so many animals. I never considered myself an animal lover like some people I know, but I appreciate animals more than I knew. I am a nature lover, thus all the hiking we do. I like to get outside and see the world that is alive. When you get out there, away from the hustle and bustle of our busy life, there is so much more life out there. For the most part, the animals don't need us to live life. They for sure don't need oil or heat or electric and you know what they do just fine on their own. So once again, we humans, people that think of themselves as the superior creature, we are ruining things. I pray that it won't be as bad as I think. I am sure that this will always be an important part of Joey's life. I have a feeling that this oil spoil will give him a reason for his life as an adult. He is worried for the turtles, birds, sharks, fish and all the animals in the ocean. He will never forget this, I can tell the way he talks about it.
