Life is always changing. One can live in the past and dwell on what was or what would have been. Or they can chose to move forward, live in the moment and dream about what can be. We are always telling our kids they can do whatever they what in life if they just try. That also is true for those of us who have gone through a divorce and are now faced with a future of unknown. We can do things we never could before or what we always dreamed about doing. This is why I chose to live life as an adventure and not just an existence. I have taken risks I never would have thought about doing. Like running in the Marine Mud Run or doing the Covent Half Marathon.

I love to mountain bike, climb, run, read, scrapbook, draw, hike, and much more. I dream of hiking Mt. LeConte in the Smokies, traveling to another country, and being a teacher. I want to learn to kayak and white water rafting. God has given me a gift of a second chance and I don't plan on wasting. Life will be hard at times, working and going to school, but the end result is what I focus on not the hard part. I see a life with a wonderful and amazing man, a house full of kids, and my days spent sharing my love of learning.
