For better or for worse.

When I was 19 and said my vows at our wedding ceremony, with so many wonderful friends and family present, I remember feeling oblivious as to the meaning. I think it's common emotion, really not expressed well…

At this point in my life, having gone through a few things as have others, those words take on a whole new meaning. “For better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and health…” is some pretty heavy stuff. In our day, it seems easier to walk away from the hassles, but is it really…

As you may know I have taken my time in the dating game and there certainly are plenty of games to be played. When it comes to relationships, they can be really screwed up. Or pretty special… The special one is worth sticking with…

The special one is something to come back to, whether a fun friend or ridiculous romance.... or bet yet, both:)

John and I have weathered our share of storms in the last 18+ months. There are things I have asked of him, I know he could never imagine having to do. His support has never waned and he says I challenge him, lol:) I know it takes a strong man to step up......... ..

Now that I am home, we have a fresh start. February will be very good.

My daughter passed her CPR training and is in the home stretch of her personal trainer certification course. It is amazing to see how her paths have led her here. She has begun her exploration for coaching jobs back east, and she's not the only one forming an "exploratory committee" 

This morning I began the advertisement of a small rental I have coming available, and within minutes I was inundated with interest. I have been getting so much action; it's just amazing. As the pace accelerates, so am I but still learning to take care of myself.

Tomorrow Logan and I head to Penn State for the weekend, to another Qualifier VB tournament, with many college coaches present. CA VB readied Logan to compete because each and every game counted. There was no let up.... a metaphor for life.

Most people, when they find out about my life will say, "wow, you've got a lot going on." That's where I think it takes heart, depth of character, and a stern soul to weather the storms and survive to thrive. I always learn to pull the good from the "God forbid" moments in time.
