Positive things to come

You know how when you get excited about something that will positively effect your life and you can't stop talking about it?  That's where I'm at right now.  I had an opportunity come up this week that previously would have scared me or just immediately dismissing it, but now I'm at a point where I'm finally open to it.  I keep looking at things that I can change to make myself healthier, as well as doing something with my career so I can support myself and Sevrine without having to worry about whether or not someone will pay their child support.  I think that with this opportunity the health changes will be a given, but the career aspect will be something that will take some time to build.  It does have the potential to be something that will allow me to create my own schedule and spend more time with Sevrine instead of having to rely on others.  There are a few things that I need to put into place  before I can start the career journey, but I am so excited and ready for the changes.  Check back in a few weeks!

It's been a while since I posted in this blog.  There is so much to say that really can't be expressed eloquently or in a reasonable amount of space, so I'll just say this.  Thank you.  Thank you for your sacrifices as well as those of your family.  Thank you for the selfless acts you perform daily without any expectation.  Thank you for looking out for the rights of the American people even when there are some that would snub you or not appreciate your efforts.  Thank you for looking past our flaws and serving us anyway.

Remembering 9/11 5K

Here are the results from my second 5k.  For the record I have no idea what I was thinking or what I was looking at in the picture. lol

Wickenburg, AZ

Sevrine and I had  fun day out in Wickenburg taking pictures.  It was a little hot and we didn't take as many as we would have liked, but I think we got some good ones, and more importantly, we had fun. So here are a few pictures so show you what we did.

Update

Well, here is the update.  There is a little bit of progress on my "take care of me" goals.  Sevrine and I have been walking a few nights a week (depending on whether or not she got her homework done), I'm taking more pictures and I'm running a 5k on the 12th.  I'll also be heading out today to go and take some pictures to see what I come up with.  I did find a really cool editing program online that can do some cool things. So, off to a decent start so far.

New Beginnings

I feel like it's time to make some new goals. I think it goes in cycles for me. I start to take time to work on myself and start to feel really happy, then I get into a relationship and neglect myself a little bit. Not as much this time, but I do know that I started to give up more and more of the things that make me happy. So, it's back to working on me, and hopefully when/if I meet someone, I'll continue to make myself a priority. So, here are the things that I would like to do:

1. Run a 5K every other month (or every month if I can swing it).

2. Take more pictures

3. Go hiking with Sevrine twice a month

I'm sure there will be more things, but those are just a few that I want to do. In light of that, the picture I'm posting is not one that I took, but I did do the editing on it, and was really happy with the way it came out.

I'm kind of a big deal

Or at least my boyfriend thinks so. We live about 3 hours away from eachother so when we see eachother it means one of us spent 6 hours round trip in the car.Next week its my turn to make the drive. Yep, true love. :)
