A good cause

I have been given probably what I consider the greatest opportunity, Calgary has the walk for the cure this weekend. It is a 60 km walk for Breast Cancer, the participants walk 35 km on Saturday and do the remaining 25 on Sunday. Goodlife Fitness has been asked to be in Charge of warming up the participants on Saturday morning. Myself along with 3 of the other instructors will be heading to the Round up center for 6:30 a.m to lead a mass of people in a warm up.

When I found out I was going to be involved I was speechless, I feel so blessed and honored to be involved in such an event.
God has been doing so much wonderful things in my life, I have spent the last day just thanking him because I feel like I have no words to express how I truly feel.

I feel like I have the opportunity to use my passion for encourage and help others, I never want to look past that or lose it.

Hope everyone enjoys there weekend.

I will be back

I will come out and say it, I am boring and have nothing of importance to say.
Do I bore everyone out of there minds talking about my job at the gym, what classes I am teaching and what percent body fat I am at? I already have very few readers left I think that would scare away the rest.
I hope everyone is enjoying there summer, and I promise that I will be returning so please don't stop checking just give me a week or so.

Still to busy to post very much, wondering if I should shut down the blog, I just can't see to keep up.
Last night I opened my big mouth and said some things that I shouldn't have, it wasn't mean or hurtful things just something that didn't need to be said. I have lost many hours of sleep last night over this incident.
Anyone else out there feel like they have put there foot in there mouth at the wrong place and wrong time?

Today I am feeling like a huge A**

Hope everyone has a great day

Just found out a couple hours ago that I passed my exam, ready to move on to the second phase of this journey.

The classes are done, the exam has been written and the first fitness Instructors class has been taught. I will come back to this blog soon, for right now I am working on material for my classes, waiting for my exam marks and trying to pick up the pieces of our life. The last couple weeks have been crazy but so worth it.
Thank you so much to Evan's mom for coming to stay with us last week, you were a life savor. I really couldn't have done it without you.

If anyone still reads this blog I have a question, I am in the gym 5 days a week and will be getting some more of my own classes in the next week or so. I need a really good deodorant, no white residue, smells decent and not an antiperspirant. Anyone with ideas please let me know.

Breaking the silence

Just wanted everyone to know that I will be breaking the silence on the blog as soon as possible.

I will be writing my exam on Thursday, June 5 and my life will be a lot less hectic. As for right now I spend all my free time at the gym on studying, my house is a disaster, my dishes are not done and my bathroom looks like a bomb went off in it.

On a happy note, my kids are doing great with all things considered and the amount of studying I do.
I also will be heading to Edmonton for the weekend for some classes. This will be the first time I was away for night since my kids have been born other then going to the hospital to have Micah. This will not be a vacation by any stretch of the imagination but It is getting away. I will have 29 hours of classes in 2 1/2 days, hurray for my brain.

I will definitely be posting when I return home.

It is 8:30 in the morning and I am sitting at the computer while my kids are running around playing, I am trying to wrap my head around the events of the past week in this house.
All the craziness started on Saturday morning when I received a call from Calgary E.M.S at 4:00a.m, Nathan had been out with one of his friends for the night and they had been in a car accident. I arrived at Foothills Hospital at 4:40 in the morning only to have to wait about 20 minutes to see him.
Not going into any details I spent most of the day at the hospital with Nathan and his friend trying to make sure that they were okay and trying to be a voice for them. They were treated very poorly by the hospital, I left for my gym class at 9:00 a.m and returned at 12:00 and they still hadn't been feed or given anything to drink. A couple hours later they were both discharged into my care, Nathan's friend is from B.C so the hospital left him in my care and he stayed with us until Monday night. So I spent the weekend taking care of 2 very sore and in rough shape boys, they first 24 hrs was the hardest because I was on concussion watch but after that it got easier.
On Monday morning I headed out to the airport to pick up my mom who came out to help. My mom spent 2 days with us her and left this morning. She was a God send, even if she didn't do much for Nathan she gave me a much needed break by taking care of the kids and helping with house work. So mom if you are reading THANK YOU very much for your time and help.

Now we are back to "normal" life and I am starting to panic because my Exam is in 3 weeks and I need 5 weeks to study, I am still not past the first page.

If anyone has any advice on how to get back in the grove of studying please let me know. I graduated 8 years ago and feel like I am a fish out of water with the whole studying concept.
