Five for Friday 11/12/10
1. Celebrated Daylight Savings by eating at Panera, and taking a trip to Target. We bought checkers and chess and I plan on beating Brad as soon as he gets brave enough to play me.

Curveballs
September was the month I would be starting my 6th year of teaching. August was the month Brad and I were supposed to start trying to have a family. July was the month we were supposed to go to Gun Lake with friends. June was the month I would get to see my favorite band, Dave Mathews Band in concert. None of these things happened.
If the last year has taught me anything, it has taught me that life throws curve balls that are often beyond my control. This has been a very hard lesson for me to learn; one that is extremely hard to accept for a type A, control freak like myself. I have also learned that putting timelines on life doesn’t always work out as well.

Today I am thankful for good health insurance to allow me to receive the care I need.
Catching Up
How did all this start? Well, for the past couple years I had taken up running and was really proud of how strong I was getting from running 4 days a week. I was increasing mileage, I was maintaining a healthy weight, and it just really made me feel good to get those endorphins pumping. My goal was to run a half marathon before Brad and I started to try and have kids. So I was following a training plan, teaching, and living life like a “normal” 28 year old. Life was good.
