One Year Ago

Every once and awhile I think back to what we were doing 1yr ago, 5yrs ago, or even 10yrs ago. I think of how I have changed, how people I know have changed. I think about what I could have done different, or think of how thankful that I am to have done what I did.

Today, in thinking back, I think of 1 year ago. July 15th, 2008 is when my world came crashing down on me. We were just starting our kitchen remodel. Our house was a huge dust ball. Everything was completely gutted and we were living at my parents house. Kailyn was celebrating her 3 month birthday. I was not feeling well and finally promised my mom I would go and be checked out. Brian took me to an Immediate Care center and that is where they did bloodwork and diagnosed me with a blood clot. Next thing I know, I'm on my way to the ER. Oh my god I thought...A blood clot? Not me? Why me? People die from blood clots. I don't want to die.......

.....So much has changed in just 1 year!! First, I'm happy to be typing this today. I'm able to say I'm healthier than I was 1 year ago. (down 30+lbs and counting) Kailyn is 15 months old today!! My kitchen, eating area and everything that goes along with it is just beautiful. I am so thankful for my wonderful family who has helped get me to where I am today.

Putting all material things aside, I am proud to say that I am a very rich girl. Rich in love, rich in people I love and who love me back. Rich in trust and honesty. All the improtant things. All the priceless things. Thank you to everyone who has made me so rich! I love you all:)

Enjoy your day and live each day as it was your last!
