So, I did my 4-miler in Chapel Hill last Saturday. Let me just say, I was NOT prepared for those hills. We have a hill in our small little town that I perceived as huge when I was growing up. I mean, it was not too easy when we rode our bikes back up after flying down with the wind in our hair. THAT hill is a joke. I am not sure how many hills I ended up conquering but my legs were telling me I was crazy... My sister ran with me and we ended up finishing in a little over an hour (without stopping or walking). We were proud of ourselves and super glad we did it. Hoping to sign up for another 5k soon!
My parents had the awesome opportunity to go live in England for a few years so dad could help at a finance company. I was born there, in Bedford, England and we moved back to the USA when I was 9 months old. My parents often tell me "You've been there!" when they see pictures from places over seas. I am hoping one day to visit this beautiful place. Until then, I can look at pictures and dream...
Places in Bedford:
Places I want to go:
And of course, the Red-head Festival in the Netherlands. What? I am serious....
I am just an ordinary woman who is trying to raise a child with my busy, shift- working husband. We are here, there, and everywhere with both our crazy work schedules but with my family's help we make it work! I am daily trying my best to be a wife, mom, employee and friend that God will be proud of.
