So last night I had a total change of heart and kind of had a "BIG GIRL MOMENT". I decided that if i got the job that I interviewed for yesterday that I would put off going to Nursing School so that my family could be together. By this I mean that I would be able to stay with tony when we transfer instead of being stuck in school while he left. I didnt think it would be fair to him to be away from his son because I wanted to be selfish and put my career first. SO after thinking, I decided that Nursing School will always be there, classes can always be retaken, and taking a Lead Position for the Government looks damn good on a resume!!! I got the official phone call this morning- I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a full time spot with benefits, paid vacation, paid sick days, and a raise of 3 bucks an hour (I AM WAY OK WITH THAT!!!). It will take some getting used to schedule wise but I really believe that it will be a great decision for my mini family. Tony was very happy for me and said that I should follow where my heart tells me to go- as did my mom and mother in law!!! Guess growing up throws you some interesting directions.
Went on a run this morning (NO DOGS), the weather is beautiful out there minus the 5mph wind that I had to run against *WHICH SUCKED*. Emily and I kicked butt though with 3 miles at a 10.4 min/mile average. I also started a fitness group on facebook called "Love Handle Relief Group" so that all my friends and family can brag, vent, get advice, get encouragement, and post their fitness activites on there- its a safe place, and a motivation spot for everyone to go to. I think it will be a great thing. Also, I have another friend starting to jog with us come monday- I am really enjoying the motivation factor that I have been bringing- really never thought fitness would be a big part of my life- GUESS THINGS CHANGE!!! Well thats it for me today :)
