SPRING!

I am ready for spring. I can't wait! It was freezing this morning on my way to the gym, and I couldn't help but think about how over winter I am. But hints of spring are starting to pop up everywhere! This week it's supposed to get back into the 60s...it's about time!


I love this time of year! Things start thawing out, and I am coming out of my winter coma. My favorie part of this time of year is that I get to be outside much, much more, which makes me feel good all the time. Not to mention, in the spring time there is always so much going on, and so much to do! Soccer is starts next week! And indoor is going to get started again soon. Then, boot camp classes start mid-March and I'm super excited about that. Working at Gordian has been okay, getting a steady paycheck and all, but I am anxious to get back outside and back into the fitness groove. Teaching this boot camp is the perfect thing for me, with perfect timing! Then, Kristy and I are starting our fitness retreats in April/May, which is a whole new project for us. It's exciting to have something new to focus on and work toward.


Then, in the spring, there is always Keenland to look forward to. As well as Derby, which I am hoping to go to this year with Katie and Liz! Steeplechase is the weekend after derby, and I want to be able to attend this year again after having such a blast last year! It was so much fun and I'm trying to reel in some Lexington friends to come down for it!


And coming up soon in April, Susan is coming in from LA for a week. We are hoping to explore Nashville some more, and even make a quick trip down to Memphis to meet up with her cousin. Then, in April there is also the Country Music Marathon. I pussed out and only signed up for the Half-marathon again. But even so, training for it has been a commitment all over again this year.


Ah, so much is going on! Mom and Dad are looking to move to BG again. I hope they do soon! My friend, Nikki, just got engaged! I'm so excited for her! :) I reconnected with some old friends from high school and college these past few weeks, and it's great to catch up. It's crazy how you can spend so much time away from some people, but then when you are together, it seems like you never missed a beat! I love that feeling!

It just seems like after a really crappy winter and last year having so many bad things happening, that this year is really looking up. And I'm thrilled! :)


The only downer lately, is that recently, someone very important to me and close to my heart walked out of my life. This person and I had some struggles for a few months, running in circles, and decided to part ways. Unfortunately, it was more their decision than mine. Sadly, I miss this person more than I thought I would or care to admit. It just goes to show that you can't always get what you want. Needless to say, I have been greatly struggling with the loss of this person and having a hard time dealing with the hurt from our situation. I am hoping that this spring, I can turn over a new leaf and work through this situation. I would love for all to be forgiven and I hope someday this person will choose to walk back into my life. Maybe that's just my spring hope in the sunshine. :)

But spring can reveal lots of suprises...so only time will tell! :)
