@medicmatthew At some point in the near future, you will be holding my beer. :) Your job will be to tell me that what I’m about to do is a “bad idea”.

@Brad, thank you so much for the kind comment! I don’t know how I could be an inspiration to anyone, but… Thank you.

@wvmedicgirl Girl YOU are an inspiration to ME!!! I can’t wait for Baltimore next year, hopefully we won’t have to wait that long to cause trouble together!

@Bear 526… I’m in this to finish it. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have gone through it with you and everyone else. You really do need to research that “Life Coach” thing, because you’d rock it.

@Sean Thank you so much for saying that, it means a lot coming from you!

Aww, Lisa, you know I love ya.

And everyone going through this program needs to have that person going through it at the same time! And that day when we finally get to ride on a truck together… Watch out, world!

If you remember it was one of those “I am not doing this without someone to suffer right along with me” deals! :) but seriously, we both knew we could do this all along- we just needed to give each other a good swift kickstart! and I will always be there for you! sniff! sniff!

I am proud to call you a friend and am proud for all the hard work you have done. I knew you could do this! You have been an inspiration for so many people, including myself. I am honored to have gotten the chance to get to know you through your blogging and for getting to spend a day with the real thing! Keep your chin up and know you’re friends have your back. I’m keeping the prayers up to help you on the home stretch!

COMMITMENT:
Anytime you make a commitment to something your commitment will be tested in three ways:
1)Experiencing failure: The greatest challenge to commitment is failure.
2) Having to stand alone – when you want to accomplish something, people will try to distract you, challenge you or get you to settle for less. It may be unintentional, or it may be because they are warned that if you grow and succeed they will feel left behind. In those moments you must ask: “Who am I trying to please – God or man? When I stand before God what will I be glad I did now?”
3) Facing deep disappointment: When things go wrong, when life gets tough, when the enemy begins to attack, will you be able to carry on? That depends on your willingness to renew your commitment each day.
-Rick Warren-

They will not be dreams anymore, but reality!
