and it starts...

Grant left today for the first of his work trips... this one is 4 days, he is home 24 hours and is gone another 4 days. I am perfectly capable of all of the day to day life stuff but it's weird without him. I got up at 4 to make sure he got up and then actually got up at 4:30 to spend a bit of time with him before he left. He is so amazing and I love this man to death... I must if I got up that early! Sunday night is date night, we have a gift certificate for a really nice dinner and I can't wait. Krystina has been a bit out of sorts lately. Sometimes I worry that it's my parenting and I am doing something wrong but then when she loosk at me and says that she loves or misses me I know that she is fine. we are kinda learning together I guess... all three of us. She and I hit Starbucks this morning for a little bit of quiet time before school/work and loved it all. I am still working out and getting fit, I love the feeling of my clothes fitting again and I love the way Grant looks at me so it's perfect!
I did my walk last weekend... well the 8 mile one. It was amazing. You see all of these women with signs, or t-shirts saying 'walking for my mom, myself or another name' and it makes you see the reality of this disease. Cancer is something that can't be cured but we are getting there... we will do it and I am going to do my part. even if it is something as simple as the annual walk but I can't sit by and do nothing and pray that it doesn't hit my family any closer than it has...

I found this little saying that makes me smile daily:

Every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back...

Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance....

Live life today, there will be plenty of time to be dead later
