Our tired eyes and feet


We don't have any recent photos of Ben with his PHI helicopter, so here is the most recent one of him flying a much smaller helicopter with our friend Brent. His wife, Logan, and I are in the back of the helicopter. Anyway, this week has been a week of beginnings for Ben and I. Ben started flying on his own for his new EMS job on Wednesday and will continue until next Wednesday. Some days they don't get to fly at all but other days can be busier. It's been really foggy the past few mornings here in Houston, so that's been a hindrance for flying as well. I started my new afternoon job at Triumph Rehab Hospital on Monday, and my feet haven't been this tired since grad school. I wear scrubs and tennis shoes more often now just for the comfort factor. Poor Ben has to wake up at 4 a.m. in order to get to work in time each morning, so I'm sure his eyes are starting to get sleepy by the time he gets there. Plus, our eyes have seen their fair share of amazing things the past few days. I won't go into details, but at least we can now share healthcare stories, which are always graphic!

Lots of catching up ...

I'll be honest. I forgot we had a blog! And that's why I hadn't written in so long. :) Just to catch everyone up, Ben and I got married in August as planned, and everything went very well. We still live in Spring, but we have started some new career paths recently.
Ben just began working as an EMS pilot out of the Houston area. As a result, he'll be able to be home every day, which is a very welcome change. I am about to start a new afternoon job at an acute rehabilitation hospital on March 16. We're both very excited to see what these jobs hold for us.
