1 YEAR: We Made It!!!!

I think October has to be my favorite month out of the year for several reasons. One is the weather. It's beautiful here in CA but I know how beautiful it is in Texas at this time of year as well. The cooler weather that comes in October always makes me think of Cross-country season in college. After running in the heat all summer long you finally get to run in the crisp cool air and run a few pr's.  Isn't just the sound of football on the tv great? It's postseason for baseball and this year and the last have been a lot of fun with the Rangers doing so well! Greg and I actually started dating in October 2 years ago so that brings back wonderful memories for the both of us. I love fall everything.... including candy corn and Honeycrisp apples. And of course this month is now a celebration month for mine and Greg's anniversary. This is definitely the best month.
I've been pretty nostalgic the past few weeks. All the wonderful things about October really make me miss Texas. I miss my friends and family so much and I have so many wonderful memories with them during this time of year. My niece Hollyn's birthday is October 9 and this year was my first year to miss out on celebrating with her on her birthday. That was a tough one for me.
And I'm sure many former brides can relate to the nostalgic feelings of their wedding day.  Although I'm pretty excited to spend my anniversary with my best friend and create new memories!!!  What a blessing!
Also, I don't think I've mentioned this before but I got a new job. My physical therapist actually hired me as an aide. My personal training job wasn't taking off as well as I would of liked with me being so new to the area.  God always provides doesn't he? I work with a lot of amazing people everyday and I am learning a ton. Being an aide isn't exactly my dream job but it's a great job for me at this time in my life.
And I'm running. Only 20 minutes 3 times a week but compared to running with a lot of pain for 2 years and then not running at all and still being in pain for the last 9 months, 20 minutes of running with no pain is AWESOME!!!!
Here's praying I don't get greedy and over do it lol...
So thank you everyone for all of your prayers! I have a lot of work to do but I am so thankful to run again!
Here are a few pictures from our wedding day a year ago this weekend :)
P.S. GO RANGERS!!!!
