The YMCA Duo

so i've been observing this father and son duo at the YMCA for at least a couple years now (off and on)....and i love it. i would say their body types are naturally scrawny- but let me tell you they have worked their biscuits off!! the dad has made obvious progress and, consequently, has recently been rewarding himself with a "cooler" look by purchasing some sweet adidas shoes and sporting some nice fruit of the loom sleeveless T's to expose his newly chiseled triceps. the son, on the other hand, (maybe about 17 years old) still seems to be struggling to achieve any noticeable results. tonight they were bench pressing. the father stood over his son with his arms crossed and his shiny bright red adidas shoes casting a reddish glow over the room... with his son in blatant agony, flailing his ratty lawn-stained new balance shoes frantically in the air as he struggled to inch the bar over his head....... i couldn't handle it.

When it comes to being a nurse, I sometimes get scared.
I start my first real nursing job on June 27th. I'll be working on the Med/Surg unit at General Hospital in Charleston, WV. Words can't describe my nervousness. But at least I'll be at home with the support of my family. More than anything, I would love to just get out of this country or at least some rural area in the U.S. and do preventive health care. I glanced at the cover of a Samaritan's Purse magazine the other day and saw a girl in scrubs holding an African baby. I shouted "Get ME there!" But I know I'm where God wants me to be right now- eventhough I'm not such a fan right now. Sometimes you gotta go through poopy seasons to get to better seasons...and who knows, maybe it won't be such a poopy season after all.
