Choosing to attempt to become a female firefighter (I MUST be crazy)...

I still don't know why I decided to even attempt to try to become a firefighter.  To be completely honest, it was one of those things where everything leading up to that moment fell into place, therefore, my husband suggested that I at least give it a shot.  Of course I said yes...why wouldn't I, right?  Well, let me put things into perspective:

• I am a woman
• I have a husband and a child
• Although I have been athletic my entire life, I took a 5-year hiatus from working out, attempting to focus on my full time job, which equates to weight gain and being out of shape
• and the biggest reason...
• I will be turning 40 (although many think I'm much younger, which is a definite compliment!)

However, amidst all these shortcomings, there's something inside of me that feels like I could do it, so I did what any CRAZY, insane person would do...

I put in my application.

I am not sure how far I'll travel upon this road, but I've decided to document my journey.

I can only imagine what this road has in store for me...
