For the first time in a while, I let loose and I enjoyed every bit of it. As someone put it this week “you have a little PTSD from your previous duty station”, but it’s true. I had gotten so use to doing things a certain way that I was living out of character just to get by. I look back at pictures from this time last year and I look unhealthy. I was mentally and physically trying to hold it together. I was going through a lot and didn’t even realize it. Being made to take a step back, I now see that I am in a better mental space and far healthier than I have been in a while. I have always communicated how I felt, but now I make sure the receiving party fully understands the intention of the message. It’s a great feeling.
I am so proud of my little people. They have mastered the art of bike riding with the help of their Dad. That was the highlight of my week. Seeing the video of them pedaling so carefree and happy really showed me nothing else matters, but their happiness.
My mom made it to San Antonio to see Lauryn’s recital. The support that my family has for everyone is unbelievable. I can’t wait to see the performance of my little lady dancing over the rainbow. All of those mornings before dance class telling her to get her life together are paying off, she is only 6 and we were always running late.
I traveled back to Seoul for an unforgettable Memorial Day weekend. It’s been a long time since I had a four-day weekend and I took full advantage of it. I planned to go to Japan for this weekend, but instead I stayed in country. I plan on taking trips off of the peninsula once hubby arrives in a couple of weeks. This weekend was one for the books. I toured, danced, sang along to Aladdin while watching it in 4D, and was reminded that I am no spring chicken. All of that dancing and heel wearing did something to me. I have to keep these knees in tact because I am running a half marathon in a couple of weeks.
I let loose and can’t wait to do it again!
