Okay, I'm a little more than excited. I just signed up for the Mercer Island Half Marathon on March 25, 2012. Let's do this!!! I'm ready to run. I just have this little issue of my leg not working to deal with first, but I'm ELATED about this!!! WOOHOO!
In other news, my second grad school class is almost over. (Thank the sweet Lord!) One paper left and I'm done! Next Monday, another class starts, and I'm ready! I moved into a cute rental house at the beginning of the month and I absolutely love it. :) Crab is a happy dog - complete with doggy door and fenced yard. It's completely awesome in every way!
There's another nice little distraction in my world, which means absolutely nothing other than I have something fun to think about when I'm not working, studying, writing, or taking pictures! I'm so grateful for great, local friends who make my weekdays better, for a wonderful church that is an absolute blessing in my life, and for Spokane - for taking good care of many, many good friends and the majority of my immediate family.
I've taken amazing strides in the last 5 weeks to take better care of myself and I feel so much better. If you can read this, please take good care of you - no matter who you are. You are enough. You matter. You are loved by a merciful, gracious God.
I'm off to enjoy some comfort food - broccoli soup! And then, after work, I'll throw on a tie-dyed hoodie and my favorite running shoes...and see what I can do. Here we go - I took enough time off, I can't WAIT to get back into this!! God is good. Life is good. Wine is good :) God bless your socks off!
