Promotion, long hours & the first snow.

It's been too long since I've written and much has happened by now. My mom and Ruby have since come and gone, and I must say that when you live that far away from your mom, one week is not nearly enough time together.

But on a really exciting note, my job couldn't be moving in a better direction. I have recently been given an awesome promotion, and while it does require some long hours, I am truly loving every moment of it. I am not sure if I have mentioned this previously, but my boss owns four gyms in the Treasure Valley of Idaho. I myself am the general manager of one of the gyms and was recently promoted to a 'lead manager' position in order to give assistance to the managers of the other gyms. But what I am so completely thrilled about is that I have also become the personal training manager of the entire training department for all four clubs.

My goal, when I decided to obtain a degree in kinesiology, was to make sure that I was a able to make a living doing something I loved. To have a passion, and be able to reach out and share it with others puts me exactly where I want to be in life.

By the way, we had our first snow here on Friday!
