Nothing to say

Hey friends,

So I have been not writing because I feel like I have had nothing to say. But I guess I will fill you all in on what has been going on lately.

Last time I wrote I was gonna compete in the San Diego Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon. Well I did it! I never in my coming on 30 years thought that I would be able to finish something that big. Up until I hit mile 12 in the race I was still questioning weather or not I would be able to finish but with the help of my dad and my friend "Kim" I was able to walk most of the way and I stayed in front of the lagg'n wagon the whole time. We also finished in less time than we had projected. I know that the only reason I could complete that journey is because I had Christ doing the walking for me. There are pictures from periodic places in the race on my Facebook page and I will be putting pictures in a scrapbook so that I can always look back and remember that I completed something major. Anyway that was a long time ago now.

People keep asking me what is next, when I'm doing my next race. I have said that I will probably do this again next year but I have this dream of doing a triathlon sprint which is half the distances and if I do the team challenge than I would only do one leg of the race and still be able to compete in a triathlon. I don't know if that will really happen but it is a thought that is out there.

Another big thing is that I completed my last class and I am now a college graduate again, I have earned my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. YEA!!!!! This has been a long and tiring journey but now as I look forward there is the uncertainty of "what now?" I don't know what God has in store for me and that is okay. I know that his plan is perfect and I will submit to what I am being called to do.

The next thing is that I have recently moved into a house with my friends that I have been living with. So last week was long and hard because of the holiday, then moving, then meeting our new neighbors, and then the joyousness of unpacking and figuring out what goes were and how to make it all fit. I am so thankful for my community and my housemates. We were completely packed and moved into the new house in two hours. There was a bunch of people who came out and helped us get our stuff out of the old apartment and into the new house.

The final thing I can think of to say is that I have finally almost gone under that big 300lb mark. I think I will jump for joy and maybe even cry when I see that "2" in front of the other numbers. This has been one of the hardest, most uncomfortable journey, yet I know it has been for my good and blessing but it is hard to remember that when your body is hurting so badly you can't find relief in anything that normally bring comfort. I know that God's plan is perfect and mine is no where I want to be.

Well I guess I had more to say than I though I did. I am starting to fall asleep while writing this which makes it hard to actually type. So I will say good night and leave you with a promise I will write again soonish.

Love,

Kelley
