Wheeee!

I have finally been able to come up with an analogy for how I have been feeling over the past 6 mos.  I think it took going to Seabreeze to come up with this one.  See last post.  I feel like Scott and I have been together in the front cart of a roller coaster, climbing the big hill to the top, just waiting for it to drop.  Today was the day it dropped.  We are riding.  We are prepared for the hills, bumps, jerks and JERKS, upside down loops and all of it.  We are in, until God pulls us into the station.  Whenever that may be.  I do not take it for granted.  It is an opportunity for us, but God is operating the ride, not us.  

Today is August 1st.  The day Acuity Anesthesiology is born.  Scott, George "the Greek" and Kirk are in this together.  George lets us call him the Greek because we love that he is Greek.  And he loves Greece and Duke.  Sort of like we love St. Louis and Presbyterianism!  I am hoping he can teach Scott to cook in their apartment.  Yes, they have an apartment--don't start any crazy stories about Scott and his "partner"!  We are in business with friends.  Considering we have never been in any type of business, I guess it is good to start with friends.  I do hope that we always remain to be friends.  Last night we had dinner with our all of our business friends.   It was fun.  We laughed together and shared our hopes and fears for Acuity.  It was also fun because we were eating at the Crossing and it was my birthday.  Scott made the comment that we are usually mixing my birthday with some other monumental occasion.  I knew he was referring to my 25th birthday in which we purchased a mini van and I cried.  I did not cry this birthday.  I did however return home alone so that Scott could go down to be there at midnight when they officially took over the Jefferson Regional Medical Center Anesthesia services.  So now the coaster is rolling and my stomach is dropping.
