Because Spandex Looks Good on You...

Has life really affected me so much I can't even post a blog???  Where has the time gone?  It has been almost a year since my last post which makes me sad because I love to blog.

Oh well enough of that.  So, what is new?  Well not a whole lot to be honest. Still trying to get through school which seems like a never ending climb up a mountain that continues to become ever steeper. Still, 18 months from Sept and I will, I repeat, I WILL have a bachelors in HR.  I don't even want to say the word Grad School at this point, that is becoming a topic of blasphemy in my life! 

My daughter never ceases to amaze me.  One moment she is adorable, cracking up, dancing, making face, and then next she is lying on the floor screaming her lungs out, kicking, pinching, biting.  This makes for interesting moments at the Nano house and tests the restraints of my patience to the extremes.  If parenthood is good for nothing else it is a test of inner calm in the midst of a terrible two's tantrum.  I am learning to find different outlets for myself to teach and redirect the attention of an almost 2 year old.  She keeps me on my toes and helps me find the joy in the smallest of things.

I recently completed an event that I have been dreaming about since I was a little girl.  I would sit at home and watch Iron Man races and get chills; I never dreamed I would participate in a Triathalon!  Though it wasn't a full fledged Tri it was an amazing experience and I am a better person for checking this item off of my bucket list.  My sister and some great friends were able to participate in this event with me as well and I think we all had feelings of great accomplishment. It was all women, a lot of encouragment, and more spandex than I ever care to see in one place at one time. And yet everyone looked amazing!!! It is hard to see women pushing themselves and cheering others on all the while and look bad doing it.  I can't wait to get a GOOD bike and go for a second one!!!!

Other than that life is constant.....I have no reason not to keep a smile on my face.
