Setbacks and surgery

It has not even been 2 months since I had my surgery and today I go back under the knife. The doctor is worried about infection. Complications and setbacks are a part of life. They teach us to be stronger and they show us our strength. For me, this summer has been full of lessons, hard devastating lessons. This summer has also been beautiful. My family, my fave gnome girls and friends like you have gotten me through this trying time.

Thank you for being there for me, I'm grateful for you!

I tripped trying to get to the ice cream truck

A week before my surgery I decided to throw caution to the wind-I would do whatever my heart contented (as long as it was legal, of course.)  Not but 2 minutes after I made this decision the ice cream truck rolled by my condo.

Let's just say, I got a little too excited. I barreled down the stairs and flew out the door. I moved faster than all the children. I was moving so fast that I totally forgot that me and pavement don't mix well together.

Yep, I got skinned knee and gravel in my hair but it was totally worth it. Live in the moment, my friends. It's a total rush.
