I hope to write more often!

Hello all!  So----I didn't quite keep to my word.  I sincerely apologize for that.  But, my oh my how things can change in a year (or in a day for some)!

So here are a couple of new parts of life.

1.  Moved back to Hawaii on July 4!  Glad I got to celebrate America's birthday with America :)

2.  Found out lots of new information.  Some people really aren't who they say they are.

3.  Started working at HBA.  I am truly blessed and I have felt so welcomed here!  My class is pretty great too.  They are a bunch of fun loving 3rd graders!!  :)

4.  I have been helping out with the girls XC team.  I am not the head coach, which means I don't have as much responsibility or much leadership too.  I really enjoy the other coaches, so that makes it really fun.  I am also really enjoying getting to know the girls and figuring out how I can best motivate them to be the best runners they want to be.  This is truely a great passion of mine, so I hope to continue learning and developing this part of my life.

5.  I've been racing and that has been going really well.  I have a great new coach who I am super excited about.  I feel like she really gets me and knows exactly where I am coming from in so many parts of life.  My workouts have gotten a lot harder and take up a lot of my time, but I am really enjoying it.  Right now, I am really excited to focus on my training and be the best triathlete that I can be.  I know she can also help me achieve my goals, so I am pretty excited!

6.  Ended a relationship.  Again, people aren't really who they say they are.  I have never felt so loved and so forgotten about in a relationship before.  There is so much to say about this.  The bottom line is he gave up and only really cared about himself.  He told numerous lies. He cheated.  He moved on. I was sad.  I missed him.  I believed what he said.  I fought.  I stayed true.  I am hurting.

Although life is really busy right now, I am enjoying everything that I am doing.  I love my workouts, I love my job and I love coaching.  I also love being home with my best friends.  I am so blessed to have such great friends from all over the world, but I am also blessed to be able to come home to people who know me inside and out and who get me.  These girls will always be there.  I am so thankful.
