Exciting Endeavors!

Tomorrow my life will change forever! After 3 long months of waiting I have finally been cleared to start working as a Social Worker for a foster care agency in D.C.! I will be working for Family Matters and cannot wait to start doing what I love! I must admit I am both overly excited and quite anxious all at once but I know tomorrow will bring the beginning of a new adventure and I am thrilled to get started!

In the meantime, as I was waiting to start work, I was able to accomplish another exhilarating feat! My dad and I signed up to run a half marathon about 6 months ago and finally last weekend we were able to put our bodies to the test! My mom surprised us all about half-way through training and decided to run the race as well! It was quite the experience training with my parents and ultimately finishing the race with them! All in all, it was an experience I will not soon forget and hope to do again in the future! A special thanks to all those that cheered me on and kept me going! You know who you are! ;)

The whole group right before the race started! This is when my adrenaline was on fire!


Crossing the finish line! My official time was 2 hours and 24 mins! I was shouting praises as I crossed! (Broc was an awesome camera man!)



And the whole groups afterward with our champion medals! What a fun race and what a great group to be running with!



Certainly there have been some exciting endeavors in the Buttars home recently and as tomorrow gets ever closer I look forward to the exciting endeavors yet to come!
