2015
Could have sucked big hairy money balls...
Divorce, dog attack, scarred disfigured lips, disowned by my entire family
but...I ran
Ragnar Ultra Relay (team of 6 running 200 miles)
Run to Remember Half Marathon 
Numerous local 5K's
a few 10K's
Reach the Beach Relay (team of 12 running 200 miles)
Met the man of my dreams...who is a package deal with 3 amazing boys
and 
fell hard for happiness!

Family has new meaning and Participants

Sometimes it's the little things that sneak up on you....I lost it today, I was completely broken till Bob called and asked "sweetie what is really bothering you and no it is not the green beans?" I lost my family all at the hands of my asshat soon to be ex-husband. I spent Thanksgiving with a beautiful family, we laughed and joked and had a pleasant time just being together. I thought for sure my dad would put everything aside and at least send a text...a simple Happy Turkey Day text, he didn't nor did my mother, brother,sister, niece or nephews. I am truly an orphan, I have no blood family to speak of, none, sadly not a single one. I did not cry, I will not give them that, they don't get to touch me like that anymore. I have decided that this is my new reality and I will adjust and be stronger for it. I have no idea what was said to my family because when I asked I was told that I don't exist to them anymore and they wanted nothing to do with me and that was that...that was until my father texted me in July calling me all kinds of vile things and names that a father should never call his child...a child who for their entire life looked up to him, held him on a pedestal and thought he hung the moon. I sacrificed everything I had for him almost losing my house so that i could be with him everyday while he laid in Boston on life support, i was there everyday, every damn day! I did everything for him.....he was given a second chance in life and yet he chose to become a mean, angry asshat. I wanted more for James...I wanted his heart to live on and mean something....sadly it was wasted on a man who is the most ungrateful man you will ever meet.

Saturday morning

I love that we are both just hanging out sitting on the couch with Mittens between us. Nothing going on, nothing pressing that has to be done this very minute, just enjoying time together and loving every minute of the stillness of the day.I don't know what today will bring but I do know I am happy and content. I love feeling like this and knowing I am cared for and loved not just by Bob but by my friends who have become family. I can not thank the McDonoughs enough for all they have done for me over the past 7 months, truly thankful beyond words....no pun intended.

It did not suck

I ran 3 quick miles after work because Bob wants a specific dinner tonight, so I worked for it,lol. No sitting on the couch watching my ass cheeks spread.

Not on the Sidelines

I love that I work my ass off all week and I'm rewarded nicely with a 4 hour friday workday. I love knowing I get up,show up,give 110% and my work is appreciated. I love my patients and my staff, but what I really love is the self satisfaction I get from knowing that I got the job done, I did it, I didn't ask for a handout, a workman's comp check, nothing but pure ass kicking get out of bed and put in an honest days work without whining. I love that I run , ride and play with the boys...I don't sit on the sidelines anymore. I'm out of of my comfort zone and taking chances. I have finally learned to break free of the prison I lived in for so long and I now laugh,giggle,smile and enjoy being with friends.

Text messages

I love that Bob and I can laugh, have fun, pick on each other, and know in the end we really care and respect one another.
He makes my mornings bright and my nights wildly romantic.
