I'm Back Baby

It's been 4 years since I wrote in this blog.

Here I am...wow have I changed in the last few years.  The normal things have happened birthdays and graduations some weddings....but if I were say one thing about me has changed is my attendance and enjoyment at the Y. I used to go very randomly.  Then about 3 years ago I quit smoking pot...however I still use edibles...which I really enjoy.  When I quit smoking pot; I started a new habit..Spin Class 3x per week.  I loved it; and only missed a class at the Y if I went out of town. I went a whole year straight going to Spin Class on Monday Wednesday and Friday. Then I changed it up and brought in yoga class and scaled back on the Spin. Right now I swim 3x per week, yoga once and Spin once. and a little bit of weights by prescription of my Physical Therapist.

Then that leads up to 2020; at the Dale Turner YMCA the Pool staff created a 100 mile swim club and I am at mile 11. The goal is to swim 100 miles by the end of the year. I am so stoked about this challenge. Every time I swim at the Y; I always swim 1 mile. I'm meeting more and more lovely people like this woman named Barbara who is a grandma to 2 teenagers.  

I'm swimming a mile in 45minutes. A mile is shorter than I had imagined all these years. A mile is 1650 yards. Easy.

/Another wonderful thing that happened is my oldest daughter; oldest child turned 30 this year and yes she still lives at home and I love her and really enjoy being with her and doing things together.

But this year since she turned 30. I wanted to give her a big party. My oldest son that is 28 made her dinner and an awesome homemade chocolate cake.

We had 30 people. and it was a great time. Lots of people who met for the very first time and others who got to see each other after a long time passing. I was a bit nervous about fitting everyone in the house but the Northwest held strong and we converted the deck to an outdoor fire pit and heater.

Mainly I wanted my daughter to feel special; loved and to remember her 30th birthday.

Wow I'm still talking about 2020..Live in the moment right.

I'll write more but going to live in the moment...and experience NOW.
