Happy fall

Today when I was getting ready for work, I pulled out a long sleeve dress for the first time this season. It's been incredibly warm this fall, but alas, it seems like the fall chill is finally in the air. I don't mind though, because I'm a fan of all the seasons! I don't think I could live in a place where there wasn't a winter, spring, summer, and fall...

This summer went by in a blur, but that's because I stayed super busy. Between ALA Orlando, Disney World, and Fort Lauderdale, I got plenty of summer sun and fun in! It was great celebrating my birthday Disney-style with Amanda. Honestly, we had more magical fun that week than I can ever remember in my life...it really felt like we were living our best life and enjoying every magical moment.

I also took mini trips to Michigan City, IN and Covington, KY to see friends. It's nice to be able to get out and explore a little again!

I celebrated not being in the hospital this year and returned to the ice. Each day I feel a bit more and more like my old self with the physical activity, but I know I've still got a ways to go. It's funny how people seem to forget that I almost died last year because I was in such bad shape with blood clots. It's probably because I didn't let that condition stop me...I slowed down a bit, but I kept working and doing as much as I could.

In the boy department, I've got a good one...he's been broadening my horizons, inspiring me to be the best me I can, and he makes me laugh and feel beautiful...cheesy yes, but that's where I'm at.

My family seems to be doing well and I've still got a lot of great friends (many of whom I consider family). We all seem to be getting along and doing our thing... 2016 has been going pretty well over all!

I haven't posted much because honestly, I've been trying to live every moment and be as present as possible in every day. It's a good thing...but I think I want to get back into this...so we'll see!
