Bottle Up My Life

May 1, 2013

Aurora laughing on The Price is Right– and stick it on a shelf, and keep it safe.

I mean, not really, of course. ‘Cause that would be boring. And who in the world knows what could possibly happen next? Life is all about adventures – ups and downs, and all that jazz.

So, I’m sure there’s a lot of interesting things coming up in the future.

But the beginning of this year has been blowing my mind!

Let’s just recap here a little, okay?

In January, I took a trip to Walt Disney World with my dad, met a member of my favorite boyband, had camera crews on me for both the half and full marathons, met some super cool people (hi Nikki!), and made national news.

Then I jetted off to Phoenix where I stayed with one of the sweetest families ever, and had one last half marathon of my 52 in 52 series kick my butt.

Just a couple of weeks after that in February (February 6th), I taped an episode of The Price is Right – which was an absolute dream come true! (I still can’t/never will get over that.)

I was then interviewed for a National Running Magazine (Women’s Running). (And I did a few normal fun things that month – saw a couple of shows (including Conan), etc.

In March, my Price is Right episode aired, and I got to share my joy with the world! I also sold that car and basically got out of debt. (Still making a few final payments on credit cards and waiting for a couple of things to clear, but I am basically there – and will be officially there soon, and you will be hearing about it.)

(I did a couple of small, normal fun things that month too – such as going to Disneyland.)

Then, in April, I met Cory Booker!(!!!)

I got to share that with my incredible friend Jaime. I had a lovely, brilliant, beautiful time in San Francisco.

(Also, as far as the small things in April – I started a new job where I work my favorite hours. Plus, I work with people with whom I’ve worked before – I adore them, by the way. I also have the pleasure of working on a medical show, so there’s a lot of interesting information in the interviews.

In addition, since I’m working on the “year of responsibility,” I feel like I got some good stuff accomplished – got a beautiful, clean, new retainer at the dentist. I had a wonderful check-up with one of the best electrocardiologists in the Los Angeles area.)

So, basically what I’m saying is from a micro to macro level (in my life), the first four months of this year have been exceptional!

I have no idea what’s coming next. But, I guess for now, I just want to soak it all in and say how unbelievably grateful I am.

And huge thanks to everyone who reads this blog and has been along for the journey with me! I appreciate you.

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
