Ecstatic is how I am feeling about running. My foot has been feeling better and so this week I have run a few times. I am still not up to par but am going to just ease into it in hopes of starting training next month. No long runs for me yet, but I will get there!
2. Distressed
Distressed is how I am feeling about the progress of our house. Although it is very exciting as well to see the progress of it, it is also very stressful to make sure you have everything that you want and to know that they are doing a good job of building it. My mom came to town on Friday and spent the night. We shopped both Friday night and for about 7 hours on Saturday for lights and a kitchen faucet. Yes, hard to believe but the fact is, once you really know what you are looking for it is very difficult to find and then to actually make a decision! My mom was ever so patient with me and when 3:30 rolled around I was shot and just wanted to go home! When we got back to the house we sat down and went through numerous paint samples trying to figure out what color to do where. After about a half hour of that I just wanted to be done. My brain was mush...could not continue...
Pained is how I felt when I realized that Monday was Halloween. I have class on Mondays so I was truly crushed when I was not able to take Madelynn trick-or-treating. A big thank you to Katie for being so kind to let her tag along at the very last minute. She was so excited and brought home more than enough treats to share with all of us! Although I wasn't able to do the trick-or-treating on Monday, we were able to spend some time together as a family on Friday night at Microsoft. Plenty of entertainment, food, and fun for the kids! Here are a few pics from that night.
Yes, that is Parker...not grandpa!
Look! It's Bat Girl!
What a great family pic, huh?
I pick encouraging for my fourth and final word. I choose this because I am feeling very good about school. I now can see the light at the end of this journey that I am on. I realize that I only have about a year left before I can do my internship and I will be on my way to bigger and better things! Also, I figured that since I do see the end of my bachelor degree, why not start thinking about masters? Looks like I could maybe do this in a couple years too? Only time will tell!
Until next time...keep running and keep smiling!
