Summertime and the living's not easy...

Well this has been a very challenging summer to say the least. Instead of going into detail (which might take months to do), I've set up a simple, straight forward outline.

May- Alice turns two. :)
-Unappreciated at work. :(
-Derek Graduates from U of I with a Bachelor's in Poly Sci. :)
- Watch my first class graduate from high school. :)

June- (WORST MONTH EVER)
- Get a new(er) car :)
-Derek passes away after a 19 month battle with cancer :(
- Summer school in Moscow for a month :/
- Hotel room floods :(
- First 4th of July without Brian and Alice :(

July- Return home from summer school :)
-Marriage on the rocks :(
- Weight loss challenge is over (lose 35lbs) :)
- Brian gets a full-time job :)
- High School reunion :)

August- 6 year anniversary (marriage on the mend and feeling great) :)
- Alice goes to daycare. :(
- Get back to the gym :)
-Prepping for school. :/

As of now I am challenging myself not to dwell on the past. I want to focus on the future while living for today.
