Tied on the Ball and Chain

Melissa and I got married today. Thought it would be cool to be married
on the last day of the year. We just did a small ceremony with just us.
So we'll starting 2008 married and I'll be starting my new career too.

So an ice storm has hit Tulsa. Obviously the time stamp on my photo is wrong (yes, I'm an idiot). I've been really busy on the ambulance since the storm has hit. A few nursing homes lost power and had to be evacuated. I've also received a few emails from TFD and I'm going to go pick up my books for academy and start studing. I've been told that you get placed by how well you do academically...So I would like to do well, so I can get placed at a busy station...that would be grrrrreat.

Finally Confirmation!

I finally received an email that confirms I've been accepted to Tulsa Fire. I will start January 2nd. I'm going tomorrow to get fitted for my uniforms...less than a month to go and I'm starting to get pretty anxious!

Happy Birthday!!

Today was my sons first birthday. It was good times. It also marks that
I have one month before I go to Tulsa Fire academy. I'm ready to go and
anxious to get started.

Son of A....

So the resturant I was working at, which was my main source of income has closed. The owners didn't have the sales there to keep it open, luckily I still work at AeroCare. Looks like I'll have a decent "vacation" before academy starts. Though I am still worried about the pension board and if I'll get accepted into the system. I won't know if I've been denied until Novemeber if I am.

Crazy? Or Not?

I went on Wednesday and had my psychological evaluation. I met with the Doc and he said I have the typical personality of a fireman. He read back the traits to me which I guess I fell into. Here are a few I remember.

Outgoing--I try to be
Like's Close Personal Relationships--Yeah, who doesn't
Easy Going--I'm way laid back
Makes Decisions Well, but waits for all the facts--I don't like to rush anything
Dependable--Ok...I don't think they read that right...

Anyways...the moral of the story is everything should be good to go.

Physical Today

I had my physical today, and I'm sure everyone will be glad to hear that
my prostate is doing just fine.

Also had a stress test and that wasn't too much fun either.
