It's been a while...

I've been meaning to post for some time now, but with the craziness that has been my life lately, I wasn't even sure what to write.  So much has happened in the two months since my last post, and yet I find myself right back here where I started.

We've made it through another successful season of Girls on the Run.  I spent my second season with the team as an assistant coach and loved every minute of it!  Our girls were crazy, fun, smart, silly and all-around awesome!  And I'm happy to say that I plan to be back for more in the fall. 

There are so many things I could say about this past season, but rather than recapping ten weeks with a lot of words, I figure a picture will say it best...


Team Avon Lake - Spring 2013

Life at home has finally returned to normal after a chaotic month of trying to figure out where our future would lead us.  With the possibility of moving out of state, we struggled with the idea of leaving behind family and friends, all the while thinking about what a fun adventure it would be.  Alas, the decision has been made and, while we're disappointed that our 'adventure' was not to be, we're also not sad to be staying in the place where we've built a life we really enjoy.  I guess we'll have to come up with a different adventure to focus on.

Which got me to thinking about this post from a year ago.  The changes to my 'bucket list' are few and I think it's time to refocus on it.

Run a marathon

Get more involved with a charity

Learn kickboxing

Write a book

Run my own business

Travel to Europe

Skydive

Start a vegetable garden

Get out of debt

Take a cooking class

Take dance lessons

 

With my involvement with Girls on the Run, I can officially cross off my desire to get more involved with a charity.  I plan to stay as involved as possible for the foreseeable future.

 

Write a book?  Definitely not crossed off yet, but I've started working on it, so I suppose that's better than nothing.

 

Skydive?  Not yet accomplished, but there's a game plan... and it's definitely going to happen.

 

Get out of debt?  Getting there :)

 

As for the rest, this is as good a time as any to get started...
