I'm Back

It's funny how one choice can change your life!

A year ago, I made a choice. I thought I had it all figured out. 5months of meds, one month off, then start making babies. It wasn't a bad choice, but a choice none the less.

My choice was to take a break from the big scheme of things and take care of my face. One thing led to another and I landed a not so fun, somewhat permanent dwelling, horizontally on the couch. For months my baby, my house, my husband, and my health were neglected. I was completely debilitated and life as I knew if was gone.

Before I got sick I remember very consistently and very genuinely praying in gratitude for my health and ability to take advantage of my physical capabilities. This experience really taught me how truly grateful I actually am for health and strength.

It really hurt to know that Peyson was taking care of himself at a very important time in his life. It hurt me to know that Derek was being a student all day long, then coming home and playing mommy and daddy and house maid and nurse. It hurt not being able to carry out a normal day in the life of me when I wanted to. I was getting crazy. I needed my life back.

Last week I helped with the fun run. I stood on a corner and helped people turn right. Every person that passed by made me want to run. And every couple that ran by made me want to run with Derek. I have been out of order since July last year. So Monday came and I gave it a try. I ran for an hour. It felt AMAZING! And no pain occupied my head. Today I ran for 30 minutes. Still felt great. Sore, but great.

I have been very tired, and very sore. But I am running. I am running. Look out world. I am back!
