Ch-Ch-Changes

So a lot has gone on in the last month. Coen is walking pushing a cart and is cutting the top 4 front teeth. He's been working on breaking them through for what seems like 2 weeks. Should be any day now. I can't believe how fast it is going by. Gets better everyday. He's also starting to mimic which has been fun as well, just gotta keep him away from my brother now, or he'll constantly have his hands down his pants scratching his stuff.

On a professional note, I took the the Director of Pharmacy position at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale. I'm really excited to get started. The Hospital is growing, has a new CEO which I really like, and there are several opportunities to make improvements in the pharmacy department. I think it will be challenging, and will give me some valuable experience for the future. I'll even have a chance to get an MBA paid for at SIU. With the new job, also means we'll be moving to Carbondale in the next year. I'm disappointed that I'll be moving further away from my brother and his kids, but excited to move to a college town. Plus I think the cycling is going to be a lot better.

Cori and I had been unhappy with our work situation, which was in turn, making living in Paducah not fun as well. We did consider moving back to Denver initially, but the thought of moving that far away from family again wasn't ideal either. So we decided to get jobs we think we'll really like and go from there. If we find that it wasn't just the jobs, then we may make the move back to Denver someday. I do think we'll like Carbondale, but we'll see.

On another note, I've been able to start riding more consistently. I've got some good rides in the last 2 weeks, slowly buidling up the miles. I'm targeting some races in August and September to be ready for. Hope I can stick to my plan.
