Mom

The best thing I can say to start is THANK YOU! Thank you Mom for always being there....no matter what. Thank you for forcing me to drink yucky vitamin goo when I had mono. Thank you for being there when my children were born. Thank you for encouraging me to try new things as I was growing up until I found things that I was happy doing, and not forcing me to be a part of anything I didn't want to. Thank you for working so hard all your life to help provide for Scott and I. We were never without. Thank you for always letting me be me and supporting me in whatever choices I made, even if you didn't always agree with them or understand them. Thank you for allowing me to make my own choices. Thank you for puking with me when Aiden and Ashley were 2 weeks old.....wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else :-)
Thank you for being available.....always, no matter what. Thank you for your friendship and love. Thank you for helping me through hard times.....and thank you for laughing with me and being there during the good. You are an amzing woman. I look up to you every day. I am so proud to be your daughter. I love you Mom. Happy Mother's Day!

My 5K

I did it! I ran an entire 5K without stopping! Funny thing is, I still haven't looked up the exact mileage a 5K is. I know it's a little over three miles. I ran it on April 26th (Nana's birthday by the way). My time was 32 min. 18 seconds. I feel very accomplished and know I've hit a milestone with losing weight and getting back into shape. I guess I'll have to do a 10K next :-)!
