Thanx!

As my two years in Pittsburgh quickly comes to a close, I just want to say thanks to everyone who helped make it through. I could not have done it without you! Although I'm super stoked to be done with the academic part of PT school and glad to be back with my super supportive husband, I will miss everyone. So I'm going to utilize this post to recognize those special people in my life that kept me sane. I hope they don't mind!

First and foremost, I want to thank my hubby Scott for inspiring me to follow my dream and get my doctorate. I love what I'm doing and am so glad I took the plunge. I'm not going to lie and say a 2 year long distance marriage is a good idea but we made it! Thanks for putting up with me!

Thanks to Kim who took me under her wing and was one of the best training buddies and bestest friends a girl could ask for! She has continually inspired me along the way and has always helped pick me up when I needed it. She has taught me so much about triathlon, nutrition, and life. She will truly be missed!
And of course thanx to my triathlon training buddies Jocelyn, Jen, and Lisa. Such a great group of awesome, supportive girls! What am I going to do without these 4 crazy fast bad a** chicas???

Thanx to my sister who has listened to me complain more than once....And the wieners who have brought me lots of endless love....AND of course thank you to my fellow bloggers and friends for keeping me sane, inspired, and entertained :)

And lastly and most importantly I thank God for this awesome opportunity and am excited about what my future may bring in PT, triathlon, and life. It's crazy how perfectly things work out when you just hand it over and let go.

New Orleans here I come!

  3. Congrats on everything you have accomplished! I know long distance marriages are hard. My husband and I were separated the first 13 months of our marriage. It is hard!

    I wishyou the best of luck in New Orleans!
