It is a new era for me - I've been a working girl for over a year now.
I finally feel like I am getting into a groove. To get up to speed, since I last posted (forever and a day ago), I have:
- graduated college
- gotten a job
- ran a MARATHON
- worked
- started training for a TRIATHLON
- worked some more (ha!)
I have so much going on right now, I don't know where to start. I have a lot of things I am so excited to share. Before I dive off the cliff back into blogging, I have to thank my brother, Zach. He is the reason I am back! Thanks for the inspiration - to get me back blogging and just every day in life! You are the best!
My first order of business: SOLICITING.
Sorry in advance...but I just can't help it.
Let's give you some background:
I trained for and ran my first Marathon in October - that is 26.2 MILES, for those of you that don't know. I was incredibly proud of myself and after I crossed the finish line, I knew I wanted to do it again - after a bit of a hiatus from running.
For my second marathon, I chose the Saint Jude Marathon in Memphis. The proceeds all go to the Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Breaking News: I am not a fundraiser. I don't do it. In Girl Scouts, to meet my quota, I made my mother buy $50 worth of Thin Mints every year so I didn't have to knock on doors in my neighborhood.
But after reading about Saint Jude and everything they do and stand for, I was inspired to give back a little bit with my next marathon and make it LESS about me (crazy, I know).
Long story short, I need your help! Below is a link to my donor profile - I have a cute little story and there is a very convenient link to help donate. Every tiny bit counts - even just a dollar would make my day.

With my first ever fundraising attempt, my only hope is success for Saint Jude!
Thanks everyone, I have missed this!
