Life

This morning I woke up with the most terrible sinus pain/swollen thoat I have ever experienced. Not fun. Me and Danny have done pretty good this winter not to get sick. We were even talking about this the other day...I guess we didn't knock hard enough on the wood. I hate being sick but I do love that it gives me an excuse to lay on the couch, sleep during the day, make danny get me anything, watch movies and be lazy without feeling too guilty. I even asked Danny this afternoon if he was going to make me some homemade chicken noodle soup, like I do for him. He said yes. I'll let you know if it happens. Although I would probably prefer he just pick it up from somewhere or open a can. I can't emagine him making homemade soup. Enough about me and my poor sickness and on to the more interesting aspects (interesting might not be the word)of our life.
Danny has a BIG test this saturady! He has applied for a securtiy police officer position with INL in Idaho. INL is in Idaho Falls area and is a goverment site. He applied back in Janurary and has been filling out paper work and doing a background check and has been asked to participate in the physical testing for the job (this is a good sign that he is well on his way to getting the job). The physical testing consists of completing a mile run in 8 min 30 sec and running a 40 yard dash from the prone position in 8 sec. Seems simple right? NOT. People who can run a mile in 8 min are those who have been running most of their lifes not those who hate working out and think the gym is a waste of time(that's Danny).
With that said. He has been doing a lot of running and working out lately. And actually has suprised me quite a bit. Me being someone who enjoys working out and believes the gym should be a daily pit stop, has been really suprised at all the improvements he has made. He has gone from not being able to run a mile with out stoping to walk to running a mile without stopping in less than 10min 30 sec. He only has to cut a little less than 2 min off his time to pass the test. And I know he can do it! We pray he can do it! This job will be a great opportunity for him and us. If he got the job we would be moving to Idaho Falls starting in May sometime. We like Idaho Falls. Maryann and Cory live there. It would be an adjustment but it would be one for the better.
Wish us luck! We'll keep you posted on how the run goes! Until then......
