What a difference a year makes....

One year ago today, I would never have expected to be in Vermont right now. I was packing my apartment and making big plans for California. Much can change in a year....or a day...

Tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary from my diagnosis. I plan on celebrating all weekend long... as I am here....and I am healthy.....

I started my 3 day weekend (much needed, by the way! Working full time is exhausting!) by going on a little hike with Molly. The weather wasn't great...but it was still beautiful. I'll end the weekend with the half marathon...ugh... But I plan to enjoy all moments in between to remind me how lucky I am!

Here are some pics from the hike....

A bit daunting... I thought winter was over....but we found snow!

Smile, Molly!

Happy Dog..

The sun came out for 30 seconds and lit up the path...

A view...


The pond (way down there) ...Molly had a great time swimming!
We rewarded ourselves for our hard work with treats on the way home!!
She's really wants that bone...

I found this picture from a hike last year. This was the day before I left for Baltimore to have my surgery....(wow...my first thought in looking at this is...'there's a tumor inside of me!') I was enjoying one of my last days of having energy for awhile....
I suppose I've come full circle... :)
Have a great Memorial Day weekend! I hope you get to spend it with family and/or loved ones!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! I wish I could be there to celebrate with you.

For me, today marks the end of round 4. Another good thing to celebrate! In 3 hours I will be free from my pump. I will celebrate with a shower, and a walk on the beach...

CHEERS! Thanks for the post and the photos.
