I Climb Because I Care...

Man, that title rocks my socks!

Hi Friends,

This month I am participating in the Fight For Air Climb benefiting the American Lung Association. This is a unique race where participants race up the 598 steps (23 floors) of the Wells Fargo Center to raise money for the American Lung Association.

Awesome, right??

I am pledging to make the climb 3 times - a little over the height of the Eiffel Tower. Bob and I have joined team "Slingshot" and are competing against the Park City Fire Dept. and Wells Fargo to raise the most money.

Bring on the competition!

I you would like to donate to this great cause (all donations go to the American Lung Association) I would greatly appreciate it.

You can make donations through my personal page here.

Or donate to my team here.

If you are interested in participating, I'd LOVE to have you join my team. We are sure to have a blast! You only have to climb the Wells Fargo Center 1 time, but if you're like me (crazy, that is) you can climb as many times as you'd like!

I'm super excited for this event and can't wait to show you all glamorous pics of me from the race.

Taste of the Glory

Today is brought to you by the letters L and S and the number 3.

L is for the proverbial light at the end of the educational tunnel I am currently crawling through. See that ticker I put at the top of the blog? It is living proof that every day I am closer to finishing my graduate career! Also, notice that I will be graduating in 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days. Most excellent.

L is for getting a little taste of the glory. (Think Nacho Libre). I started my externship last week at an elementary school and am loving it. I love my supervisor. I love the kids I work with. I have only been there 2 weeks and I am 100% positive that I was meant to be an SLP. It is for me. It is awesome. Therefore, I am awesome. Right?

S is for heaving a big sigh of relief. Along with tasting the glory of a big-girl job, I'm happy that I'm enjoying myself at my externship. It's nice to know that these past 2 years have not been a waste of time or money. Today, in between helping a boy correctly articulate his "r" and working on irregular past tense with a bubbly little girl I thought how I could do this for the rest of my life and be completely happy.

What a wonderful thought to have about a job! I am excited to graduate and get going in my awesome profession. It hasn't been the smoothest ride, but the real ride is about to begin.

S is for super, for that is what my life is right now. S is also for Slurpees, sitcoms, and sugar. They help get me through my week. Thanks guys.
