Pain...eh!

So today in class I was about to give a massage, and I felt an intense pain behind my right eye. I knew that I was about to get a migraine, so I had to stop for a minute and see if I had any medicine with me. Thankfully I had some with me, so I was able to take it right away. The only problem with that is that I get nauseous from this medicine, so I wasn't able to go and work out because I wasn't sure how smart that would be. Plus this way I also am giving my knee some extra rest, which is needed according to my instructor.

On a different note...I got my grade back from musculoskeletal today! Drum roll please....and the grade...an A! Waahoo! It was great to finally get my grade, even though I knew what it was going to be because I knew my grades from the previous tests and such. Hopefully I can keep up the good grades! Over and out!

Lo!

DON'T WALK, RUN!

Today I got the "Okay!" to run again! Granted I had to run slower than I would normally, but at this point, I don't care, it's still running!

I had about an hour of deep tissue massage and stretching done in class today! My instructor asked if I had been walking, without an incline and not doing any other weight training on my legs, "Just walking, no incline, no weights!"

I had told her that this is killing me emotionally more than anything. I just need to get back to running to help get my emotional state back to where it should be. Right now I'm just so relieved that I was able to run again. It really takes a lot off my shoulders and mind.

After getting home I decided to take a nap and try and get in some much needed sleep. I thankfully was able to sleep for about a half hour, maybe closer to 45 minutes. Over and out!

Lo!

Questions...

So I've had some questions floating around my head lately.

I thought I would share them, so that you could ponder them as well.

*What do you want most in life?

*What are your top 5 priorities?

*What do you feel God is saying to you?

*What do you feel you need to focus on more (better)?

*Who are you influencing in your life-by how you live your life?

*Who has influenced your life?

*Are you comfortable-content where you are with God?

*Are you flexing your spiritual muscles?

So there are a few of the questions floating around my head lately.

Over and out!

Lo!

A little pampering...

Today for class our body work instructor was gone so we ended up watching Lorenzo's Oil, about a boy with ADL (Adrenoleukodystrophy). This disease only affects males, and is carried by their mom. It was actually really interesting, and is a pretty good movie too. This disease is relentless, and the movie really shows it all. It was definitely hard to watch at times, but overall it was still really good. We still have at least a half hour left of the movie, and will hopefully finish it up next week.

After class I went and got my hair done to pamper myself for an early birthday present! It was just what I needed! Nothing drastic, just a few inches off, and some highlights. I was so relaxed that I could have fallen asleep had I been laying down!

Next it was off to work out, although I don't really even feel like I should call it that right now. I walked 6.5 miles in a little under 2 hours. Now it's time to sit back relax and enjoy the night! Over and out!

Lo!

Frustration

UGH!

That is really the only thing that I can get out right now!

I want SO badly to run again!

This literally is killing me inside.

I had some more work done on my legs today and I had really hoped that maybe something would work, but so far nothing. Which I'm not really expecting a quick change, but it's just hard to keep walking around on my gimpy leg all day long.

I feel that through my training I was off in my own world and that my cousin was cheering me on as I would train each day. Now that I can't, I feel that there is this emotional gap in my life. I know that she would be proud of me for other aspects in my life that I deal with on a regular basis, but I just felt like when I was training, it was for her. I'm not running this race to compete, or to check a box off my goals in life, yes, I'll still do those things, but the point of the race to honor her. I know that she would be proud of me just for finishing the race, but I want to finish it well and really give it my all.

UGH! I'm just so frustrated right now!

Plus, I have a lot on my mind with school, relationships, etc. right now which doesn't help really either. I'm trying to figure some things out, and really keep God in perspective with all of this, which is much easier said than done. Well time to stretch out my leg and massage it out some too. Over and out.

Lo

Don't Run, Walk!

Well as much as I would love to be running, I'm unfortunately not. My massage therapist instructor said that the best thing for me right now is to rest my legs, specifically my right one, but you really can't run using only one leg! Today in class my instructor stretched out my leg and was doing a little bit of deep tissue work, but when she was stretching my leg it literally was shaking. She thinks that I've over worked them and that I need to take some much needed rest. I told her that I haven't run in a few days (since last Friday actually), that I had been using the elliptical instead! No good apparently! So instead of running, or using the elliptical I walked. UGH! I was so not happy about that, but I also know that if I don't rest my legs that I could possibly injure them even more and the half marathon will only be a dream. After working out I then got Epsom salt and baking soda to soak in them and some hot water once I got home. I'll see tomorrow if there is any improvement, but I sure hope so! As for now, I'm thinking that I won't run again until next week, but I think this is going to hurt me more emotionally than physically. There is just so much tied up in this race that has nothing to do with being in shape. Hopefully my legs will cooperate in a timely fashion so I can get back to really training again. Over and out.

Lo

Can't relax...ugh!

Well this is the best picture I could find that helps to show the massage that I received today. I had a deep tissue / sports massage today in class on my right thigh...okay, I guess my left thigh as well, but specifically focused on my right one. See, for some reason I can't relax my right thigh. Even when I am laying on the massage table, or in my bed when I go to sleep, I still feel like it is really tense. My instructor came over to see what I was talking about to see if there was anything she would be able to do, or direct the therapist that was working on me. She, my instructor, ended up doing some really intense stretches. At one point my leg was about a foot to two feet from touching the back of my head! YIKES! Anyway, so tomorrow I'll be getting some more deep tissue work, and stretching done, which hopefully I'll see some improvement soon! Over and out!

Lo!

Eh, YAY!!!

So I posted something today, but then shortly after decided to take it off because I wasn't sure yet if I really wanted to post it. Not yet anyway. So here is my thought, I'll post it at a later time, and get your thoughts then. Until then it will just be the randomness like usual that I put on here.

Yesterday while I was watching the Colts game I was on the phone with a good friend of mine. That alone is amazing because I usually am so into the game that even if you are in the same room I might not hear you! However, yesterday when I was watching the game I was so frustrated that I didn't really want to watch it, so I talked to my friend instead! It actually was so great talking to her, and really just enjoying the night. I was still watching the game, but not as intently as I usually do, so when it got down to the last couple minutes I really started to pay attention to it. When Brady threw the interception, I literally dropped to my knees and was yelling on the phone that the Colts made it to the Superbowl!!! First time since 1970, which they were the Baltimore Colts then, so really this is their first time! I'm so happy for Peyton, and Tony Dungy and the rest of the Colts team. I'm also really happy for the Bears and for Lovie Smith. Both of those teams deserve to be there, and I am so excited for the game! It's going to be awesome! Okay, well that's all for now! Over and out!

Lo!

Superbowl XLI...

Yes that's right, the Colts and the Bears will be playing in the Superbowl this year!

That's all, I just wanted to post that! Over and out!

Lo!

Talking but still training!

Yesterday when I was working out my sister called me, and being that I wasn't running I figured I could talk and still work out at the same time. I was on the elliptical trainer so I was a little out of breath, but nothing I couldn't handle. Anyway, this was the first time that I've talked to my sister since she moved back home, about two and a half weeks ago. She told me that her job is going really well (she is a massage therapist), and that she has so many clients already that once I get done with school and move back (if that is what I do) that I'll be able to start helping her out right away. It sounds like things are going really well for her, both with her career, and transitioning back to living at home again. She also told me that she is going to church, and really likes it, which is awesome as well! I'm so happy for her! Her and my mom were going to get manicures today, which is amazing, because I really can't see my mom going to do that! I prefer pedicures myself, but to each their own! Over and out!

Lo!

A little spring time...

Here are a few other pictures that I took around June or July last summer.

These were in the front of my parents house.

I love the vibrant colors!

Also, the contrast of the black mulch and the outer white petals! Makes me smile!



More flowers around the house! These were just sitting on the porch, so I decided to take advantage of them!

This picture was actually taken while I was at a Fourth of July party with my parents friends.

They have a huge garden so I was just walking around with my camera taking it all in!

Hopefully these pictures remind you of what is to come in a few months! I might post more if the weather gets nasty!

Over and out!

Lo!

Happy times!

Okay, so I have had some problems with Blogger loading pictures recently, and was getting very frustrated with it all! Well after a good amount of time signing on and off, and checking options, etc., I can load pictures again! This makes me so very happy! It's the little things in life!

Yes, that's right, so I'm posting a random picture that I took last June! It's of a balloon flower shortly after it burst open to display all of it's beauty! Over and out!

Lo!

Fantabulous News!

Well I have test grades to post up here for both my practical final, and my written final...

Both, A's! 98% on the practical, and 91% on the written!

I felt pretty good about both of them. I am ready, and excited to move on to my next section, Deep Tissue & Sports Massage! It should be a really interesting class, both with book work, and body work.

Over and out!

Lo!

New book...new thoughts...

Okay so I was going to post a picture of the new book that I'm reading, but I guess blogger is having a problem, so maybe I can get the picture later. Anyway, the book is called, "Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading", by Eugene H. Peterson. (He is the guy who wrote the Message.) I'm about half way through the book and already there is a ton of great insight. I want to share with you one of the things that just about slapped me in the face last night when I was reading.

"...the closer we are to another and the more intimate our relations, the more care we must exercise to hear accurately, to understand thoroughly, to answer appropriately."

After I read that sentence, I sat there and read it again; and again. I wanted to make sure to really take it in. I can't believe how true this statement is, and how often I don't practice this. I think most people feel like the closer you are to someone the easier it is to understand them. However, I feel that some times that when we are so close to another person that we just assume that they mean one thing, when in fact they mean something completely different. Yes, I know that in some of my friendships that we can finish each others sentences, but I feel like that is more so on a surface level type conversation. I feel like what Peterson is trying to convey is that in the conversations that are important, whether wonderful, or potentially disastrous that we need to really listen to what is being said, and not said for that matter. The actions, and reactions can mean so much. I hope that I can tune into these things more and really pay attention to what is being said. Something that I thought I was doing really well, but maybe I was just saying that to myself to get by. Something to thing about that's for sure! Over and out!

Lo!

Unexpected blessings...

So I just had a totally unexpected conversation with a friend of mine that I haven't talked to in a while (this seems to be happening more often recently!). He was one of the only good things to come of me living in Texas. Anyone who has known me for more than about a week, knows that Texas and I don't really get along all that well. Anyway, so I was just loading some CD's on my computer and I get a message from my friend, so I start talking to him about how things are going, how he is doing, etc. Then he asks me if he can get serious with me for a minute, so I of course say yes and let him take the conversation where he wants it to go. So he said that he wanted to thank me for the way that I handled the whole situation (basically, it was a very bad roommate situation, but I feel that we've moved on finally.) when I was down there. That he, and I both, wish that things could have been differently played out, etc. But a few of the things that really stuck out was the fact that he said that he respected my opinions, humor, friendship, and walk with God, and that I handled things in a really classy way. I was like wow, I didn't think that I made that much of an impact, but I guess that's just it. You never know just who is watching you, or who you are impacting daily, and that in the time that I felt like I was a failure at everything, that that is when he saw these qualities in me! I can't tell you how great it was to know that, and from someone who was as close to the situation as someone could get without being in it, that really meant a lot. To know that I made this lasting impression on him has really made me think about how I handle situations in life, whether they are wonderful, or miserable, that I stand by what I say, and that I make sure that I honestly mean them with my full heart. I feel so blessed right now! Over and out!

Lo!

Keys & Ice!

So in order to tell you this story, I have to set the story up a little bit. Yesterday after working out I had to pick up a few things before I went home for the day. When I got home my hands were full, but I made sure to only make one trip of course! Well in doing so I guess I left my keys, yes my entire key chain (car, apartment, and mail box keys!) IN the door to my apartment! Well I didn't realize this and went to bed. I wake up at 1:15 am to someone pounding on my door, to which I don't understand why, because well, I was just sleeping! Anyway, so I go and answer the door to my neighbor above me informing me that I had left my keys in the door! So they had been in there for close to 12 hours! I couldn't believe I did this! Thankfully I don't live in a very heavy traffic area (people or cars), so nothing was taken or anything! I still can't believe I did that!

Okay, so on the the real crazy story! (As if that one wasn't crazy enough!) My day today started off like every morning. I got things ready to go for class, so I could actually eat a little breakfast, and possibly check my e-mail as well. After breakfast, I put everything in my car, started it up, and went back in to brush my teeth, and lock my place up (I didn't leave the keys this time!). I'm on my way to school, which is only about five minutes from my house, listening to the radio, and trying to warm up. On the road that is directly in front of my school, it is pretty curvy, and is kind of hilly as well, with the belly of the hill close to where I turn in to park. Well, I'm driving along, listening to my music, and I notice that cars are stopped ahead to let people walk across the street, so I go to slow down and turn to follow the road, and that's when it happens...I am turning the steering wheel, but my car is just sliding on the ice. It's not just sliding on the ice, but it is going towards two trees and a lamp post! So I try and maneuver the car, but nothing is working, so I brace for impact! So I actually figure that I'll try and go between the trees and try and miss the light post! Next thing I know, my car goes up on the curb, which gives me enough traction, and slows me down some so I can control the car some. At this point I'm still thinking that I am going to hit one of the trees, but try and turn my car away from it anyway, more so to avoid an almost head on collision! Well, as I turn my steering wheel, and I'm sure God was helping move my car too, I some how missed both trees! I didn't even scratch the car! After this, I parked my car, and sat there for a minute, thinking, "Did this really just happen!?" My adrenaline was pumping like crazy! So with all said and done, the car is fine, and more importantly, I am fine as well! I sure was awake for the rest of the day! Yikes! Over and out!

Lo!

Coffee & Dreams!

New thoughts on a good old friend...COFFEE! So Saturday I went to Panera to study for a few hours. I ended up staying there for a little over 5 hours and within that time I drank 4 cups of coffee. I hadn't had any coffee at all since I was back home, so I think that my body was a bit in shock, because once I got home I was feeling terrible! I had a bit of a fever, and my stomach was killing me! I figured that maybe if I threw up that I would feel better. So I tried...and failed! Oh it was terrible! Thankfully the next day I felt much better!

My goodness talk about being freaked out! Last night I had a crazy dream! Let me give you some background first. The half marathon that I signed up to run is June 2nd, and starts at 7:15 am. Well in my dream I am at the race, getting ready and I am with a former teammate of mine getting ready, putting on my racing flats, gloves, and sunglasses. Then the next thing I know I'm watching people run by as I'm standing there. I can't understand why, but I'm not able to run, then I look at my watch and realize that it is 8:58 am! (Yes, I actually remember the time because I was so freaked out about it!) I missed the start of the race, heck I missed most of the race! So I am trying to figure out if I can somehow still run the race, but shortly after I realized that there is no way to do it. So yeah, I was so freaked out when I woke up! Anyway, so my plan for race day is to be there by 6:45 am at the latest! Over and out!

Lo!

New Perspective...

WOW! I just talked to a friend of mine who I haven't talked to in quite a while...It was so great! Anyway, we were catching each other up on what is going on in our lives for the past several months, and how things are going. After talking for a while she said something that totally took me aback. "If Jesus came back tomorrow would that change what you do today?" Do the people that I love know that I love them? Do they know how much I care about them, and the friendships that I have with so many people? Am I willing to risk being comfortable to really say how I feel (about a lot of different things)? Do I need to step up? Or take a leap of faith and trust that whatever happens will happen how it should? There are so many thoughts running through my head right now. I literally feel like I don't have enough receptors to take in all of the information that is going on up there! I was going to study after eating dinner, but I couldn't until I got this out of my system. I'm sure even now though I'll still be thinking about so much of this. I think it's good though...to have questions running around my head that don't have to do with anatomy! Over and out!

Lo!

Looking up!

Today lecture went pretty well, and we actually got through enough that we had time to go over anything that we had questions about, which was really great! Then it was on to body work, but our instructor wasn't there, so we had a different instructor come in. Our instructor for the day was the head of the massage therapy program, and looks like the roaming gnome, from travelocity.com, or that is what someone said today, and I actually agree with it! He only needs a red pointy hat! Anyway, so I was giving a massage and he came over and was commenting on the fact that I'm trying to keep from looking down, and he had said that other than that that things look really good. See, I need to keep from looking down because if I continue to do so I could possibly strain my neck, and then I can't be much help to anyone else. I'm working on it, but it's definitely a work in progress, as am I! I think that we're all doing well, and really getting into a routine, and confident about what we are doing. All and all, today was pretty good! Only 5 days left until my next section! Yikes! That's really exciting though, just kind of crazy at the same time to think that I'll be into my fourth section of ten! Wow! Over and out!

Lo!

Zzzz's

Well today I was planning on going to the gym to go running but I was in too much pain, and decided not to go. So after eating some lunch I laid down to take a nap, thinking that I wouldn't really be able to sleep like what usually happens when I try to take a nap. This time I guess I really needed the sleep because I woke up about three hours later! I couldn't believe how long I slept! I woke up at one point when my mom called but even then I was in a bit of a daze.

I thought about going to work out after, but I wasn't sure that was the best idea. I figured that if I went to work out, that I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep when I need to go to bed. I guess we'll see if I can fall asleep in a reasonable time tonight anyway.

A little bit ago I decided to splurge and buy some ice cream! So I got some Bryer's vanilla bean, as well as a few more Naked drinks, Tropical C, which is my new favorite! Okay, well as you can tell, nothing exciting went on today, so I'm out for now. Over and out!

Lo!

Training Blog!

So I wanted to let you know that I am going to have a blog dedicated to my training for the half marathon. Feel free to check it out, and let me know what you think! I'll be keeping you updated on how my training is going as well as anything that I feel might help anyone else training for a half marathon, or other races!

Check it out here!

Lo!

Awkward moments...

(This one's for you Lindsay!)

So today in class I was getting a full back half of the body massage done...Well this includes the glutes, so...this means that I had to be completely nude! Yeah, I so wasn't excited about that! Anyway, to make things even more fun, there then happens to be about....half a dozen people watching me get this done (this isn't including the therapist giving me the massage either!)! I was like, seriously, what is the deal here! My instructor then says, "Its like when you are having surgery done and everyone is watching above." I then say, "Yes, but that still doesn't help me relax!"

At this point the only thing I could think of was Lindsay's story about when she was having surgery, read here. I end up getting the massage, nothing too exciting really, but then it happens...To make matters, when I was turning back over (from my stomach to my back), I hear a pop, as does the girl working on me! Yeah I totally popped a groin muscle! OUCH! So all I wanted to do was lay there a little longer because I was in pain, but hello, I was naked! All I wanted to get off and put my clothes back on! So I hobbled around, put my clothes on and then laid back down on the table to get stretched out some. My instructor was stretching me out, and my goodness was I in some pain! She kept telling me to, "Breath, just keep breathing!" Then I was stretching out on the floor laughing with everyone else watching me. I was supposed to look like a frog, or that's how my instructor described it, and I'm pretty sure that I did from everyone laughing! After stretching for about 20 minutes, I was feeling much better and decided to go on with my day as planned...to go to the gym.

I figured that I should take it easy, so I only rode a 10k, or 6.2 miles, and then did some weights. I know that I need to really work on my leg strength in order to get past some of the knee injuries that I'm prone to. I'm trying to strengthen and tone my entire body, but I figure training in general will help with that. Anyway, after working out, other than being exhausted from the work out I wasn't in any pain really, which was great! Over and out!

Lo!

WAA HOO!!!

Well, I just bought my plane tickets home! (I bought the tickets early afternoon, but wanted to tell a few people before I posted this.) This is months in the future, but I needed to jump on it because I really didn't think I would find tickets around the times I need, or this cheap again. So I called my mom to make sure that I should do it, and she told me what I was hoping to hear, "Buy it now before the price goes up!" And I did! So you might be wondering why am I coming home? (Okay, other than being able to see so many people that I love and miss!) I'll be running in the Sunburst race this coming June, so it would be a really good thing if I was actually in town for it! That brings me to the next thing that I wanted to mention.

I registered for the half marathon today, and am now all set, well other than training. I'm back to training again, but it's defintely a struggle. I think its more of an emotional/mental struggle than anything. Signing up for the race really was emotional for me. See, I'm not running this race just to run, I'm running it in honor of my cousin who passed away 2 years ago this March 31st. We had talked about running a race together for a few years, and never got the chance to do it. So this year, I'm running, and I'll have her with me every step of the way, both in spirit, and on my left hip (my new tattoo). If you're in the area, June 2nd, please come out and watch the races, the finish line is in the ND stadium! Thanks so much for your support! Over and out!

Lo!

Testing, running, napping...

Today in class we took our weekly quiz, which doesn't count for anything and a good portion of the questions we haven't even gone over the information. This is the first quiz that I did terrible, but there was a ton of stuff that we hadn't even seen yet, so I'm not worried about it. Still I was hoping to do better than I did, but that just gives me something to strive for next week. After the first part, lecture, we went to another class room to help out a medical assistant class. There were several different stations set up to check for different things such as, cholesterol, blood sugar, mono, strep, vitals, pregnancy test, urine screening, etc. I had both my cholesterol, 44, and my blood sugar, 20, checked while I was there. After my blood sugar was checked the girls around me kept telling me to go drink some orange juice, or eat a Snickers! I'm not sure what my usual blood sugar is, so I don't know if that actually is low. We'll be doing this every Friday, so I plan on tracking both of these, as well as get my vitals taken to see how my training is affecting my body.

After class I went to work out for a while, which I haven't done in almost two weeks. I ended up running a 5k like usual, and in a pretty regular time, but I really want to get it a few minutes faster so I can at least finish the half marathon in a reasonable time. The great thing was that when I finished running, my knee didn't really bother me! So I'm going to see how the next day is, maybe bike tomorrow to give it some time off, then run the following time I go in. I don't want to stress it out too much and end up really injuring myself before I start training hard.

After I got home and had lunch and did a few other things I decided to take a nap. Well I ended up sleeping for about an hour and a half! I think I could have slept the rest of the night and be okay with it though. I thought that I should try and get some studying in though, so I got up, but we'll see how much I get done. Some is better than nothing though! Over and out!

Lo

Take it or leave it...

Take it or leave it...

Is that really how I feel?

Is it even mine to take?

Or am I just hoping that's the case?

Am I only head strong right now?

Or is my heart leading the way?

Is there really even something for me to decide?

Or is it just easier for me to grasp that way?

Is there something else that I need to see in all of this?

Or is it that I need to lean even more on God for guidance?

Am I trusting my instincts?

Or am I relying on God to get me through this?

Am I really as strong as I think I am?

Or am I weak enough to really let God in my life?

Am I afraid of what the future has to hold?

Or am I afraid of what the past has dealt me?

Some thoughts running through my head lately...

Over and out.

New Year's Eve & other updates...

So I'm sure you're wondering how New Year's Eve went...

New Year's Eve 2007

(There are some pictures to go along with what is below...Enjoy!)

Well, I had the annual party at my house, but this year my mom joined us. It actually was really fun having her there. It threw in another mix into the atmosphere. I think there were around 30 people that stopped by at one point or another. There was a group of people watching the Bears/Packers game who didn't move really until the game was over. Just about everyone brought something, so there was a ton of food. Everything from amazing Oreo balls, to taco dip and everything in between. We had a dance party in the basement after the new year rang in...DP '07! Most of us ended up staying up until around 4:30 playing Boxers or Briefs (if you haven't played the game, I suggest checking it out, especially with a large group of people). It was so much fun! At one point I was laughing so hard I literally had tears streaming down my face! It was really a great night, and from what I've heard, everyone who came had a great night (or morning as the case may be) as well.

My break...

At times it went by too fast, but at the same time it seemed like time had just about stood still. As much as I loved being home and catching up with so many of my friends, I felt like two weeks is actually too long for me to be home right now. It's too much of a tease. After a week, I get comfortable, and totally at ease with being home. Please don't get me wrong, it was so great seeing so many friends and really being able to relax and catch up with life back home; it's just that I know that, that isn't part of my life right now, at least not for the next several months. I really hope that those months go by fast, and that I will learn all that I need to while I'm out here, both with academics and life. Right now I have lots to learn with class, and I know that right now I'll be stretched in my life, and I'm hoping and praying that I'm ready for it all. Last night when I was driving back here I was listening to Dave Barnes, and a song came on that I was like, yeah, that's my life right now! It's called, Miles To Go...

Brother I've been walking farther

Than any man has ever been

I got these scars on my feet

And I've got these bruises on my chin

People they all staring in wonder

Some they even laugh at me

They don’t know just what I’m seeking

And if they did we would disagree

Lift up your eyes and don’t stand still

People of the world And people of the will

Move on and on and on down this road

Don’t give up and don’t give in

Someday you will be strong again

But there’s still miles to go

Sister let me tell you something

Please don’t call this bravery

If you understood my reasons

You’d be here to stand by me

Up ahead: a chorus singing

In that city set upon that hill

Brother that’s where I’m going

And if you want you can join me still

Lift up your eyes and don’t stand still

People of the world And people of the will

Move on and on and on down this road

Don’t give up and don’t give in

Someday you will be strong again

But there’s still miles to go

If you need me

I’ll wait for you, oh I’ll wait for you

When I am gone, I am gone

Lift up your eyes and don’t stand still

People of the world And people of the will

Move on down this road

Don’t give up and don’t give in

Someday you will be strong again

But there’s still miles to go

If you get a chance, listen to the song, it's really great. Well for now...Over and out!

Lo

Puppy pictures!

Puppies...

So these are pictures of my dog Scruffy, and a friend's dog, Gracey. We figured it would be fun to watch them interact and it was! For both being Westies, they look really different...at least in person. Over and out!

Lo!
