Obstacles...

Everyone, whenever they set a goal for themselves, encounters obstacles along the way. This IM has been no different. I'm going to list them below, not to brag, but so I don't forget what they were. This has not been an easy journey, and now that we KNOW this race will happen (Hurricane Wilma almost screwed that up), we're ready to go...

- Homecoming 2004...lots of time/energy spent
- New Year's 2005...in Jacksonville alone, stomach virus
- SAA Interviews...out for a week
- February 27...Dad died, out for about 2.5 weeks
- Hit by a truck on bike (hit and run)...out 3 weeks
- C&P Interviews AND Leadership Conference...out all week (Sept 26-Oct 1)
- Last day at FSU (Oct. 3)
- Move to Tampa (Week of October 5)
- Start new job (October 10)
