where do I even begin?  It's been almost 2 months since my last post. 2 months.  What have I been doing for the past 2 months?  Let me fill you in...

 

Nick is home!

I brought Nick home July 21st, and he's been home so long now that it feels like he never left.  We've frolicked in Mexico for a week (happy 1yr anniversary to us!), played in the sand of Wrightsville beach (for the 1st time in 5 years... since the day we loaded up the moving truck and headed to TN), and just enjoyed every single moment of being together again.  I don't know how I ever survived 8 months without him.  

 

I'm 1 week away from my 1st half marathon.

I briefly skimmed my previous posts before writing this, and I must admit I giggled every time I read about my running.  The last time I mentioned my training I was barely surviving 2-3 mile runs, and now my easy runs are 5+ miles.  My long runs on Saturday are 10-12 miles, and although painful at times I always make it.  It's amazing to see the progress I've made in just a few short months.  On Saturday I will run the Women's Half Marathon and finally reach my goal!  (I've also lost a few more pounds, not that I'm counting or anything :)

 

Big changes are on the horizon... hopefully.

Nick and I have spent a lot of the last 2 months thinking, and planning, and getting ready for where life will take us next (and no, I'm not pregnant).  We have a lot of big plans, and for now I'm crossing my fingers that everything falls in place the way we need it to.  When things become a little more definitive, I'll be happy to share.  

 

I feel like I should have a lot more to say after such a long hiatus, but my mind has gone completely blank.  Stay tuned for pictures from Mexico and details on readjusting after the deployment.  It feels good to be back!
