X-post, 1 year with pics (I hope)
Here is that follow up post that I promised. It was a great day overall. Work was quiet, the Starbucks was good, and I may have figured out how to take photos from my I-phone and put them on my PC. I didn't make it to the rink tonight, traffic and timing were not working with me. But I did learn a small jump which was a goal by my 1 year date. I also turned in my paperwork to compete in a regional competition next month. Tomorrow I get to go hang out with a friend I haven't seen in a long time. I just found out a couple of weeks ago that she had a VSG in May. It should be a great catch up visit.
Like I said earlier, there is just too much to write about to summarize a year. But, I will say, no regrets, this was one of the best choices I have ever made. Now I will try to post some photos.
The first one is Mike & me in April 2012 after he ran a 1/2 marathon, the second one is Mike and me at my graduation in May 2012, the third one was taken at my competition in Jly 2013. I got them out of order, but I will be happy if they come through.
