So it's Wednesday!

Why is it that every time there is a holiday or it's a four day work week for some reason...the week takes 1500 times longer than a normal week??? It has been a crazy 2 days, but the week is almost over and then we can begin our whirlwind of no free weekends till March (YAY)!!! Things to do...makes me HAPPY!

So tomorrow is 12 weeks :) I am still struggling a little bit talking about it..because there is still a little fear there that something could happen...I wish my mind would settle and the thoughts would go away, but I guess everything will calm when the baby is here....although that seems like a LONG ways a way right now! So I am pondering a 5k this weekend...thoughts on this please!!!! I have been running (jogging) a little and I know that IF I decide to this that I will probably be last because I know that I don't want to push myself to the limit. I feel good when I am running, I just haven't gotten to 3 miles, so I wonder how well I would do. This is the run that I placed in last year at the beach, so I know the course, its flat and easy....I guess I just need to see how I feel.
 
We are going to the beach this weekend (thankfully)...need a little break from home and some shopping time with mom!!!! Hope you have lots of fun plans for the weekend!!!! Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for reading my thoughts!! Love and Hugs :) Alysha

we bought a house.....

 i have wanted to jot down my thoughts for months....the college topic is one that i want to document as its ever changing and needs a place to be remembered....this blog although it sits for periods of time, is my way to reflect on how much life changes-good times, hard things, happy seasons, just life. this college topic is one that i have started and stopped a handful of times and maybe because the timing wasn't what it needed to be.....but now it is! ....we bought a house! we have NEVER gone so far out of our comfort zone....we have also never done the whole realtor route, look at options-10 of them to be exact, close with a lawyer deal....because most know we bought our home from my dad when bryson was 2! yes, we bought it, but we didn't need a realtor (or their fees) and we didn't need a lawyer as we closed at our kitchen table! so living the process from start to finish has been an experience (not a bad one, honestly, more seamless than i envisioned), but nonetheless...

i am changed.....

  covid changed me, you read that right. that's when i changed. i changed my outlook, i changed our routines, i changed our home! i changed a lot of things because it changed me and somehow makes me see the tragedy that occurred in the state of NC last week differently. there is perhaps a little bit of aging in my outlook too, don't get me wrong, but i am forever a different person as the years pass. i am not the same as i was last year and i won't be the same next year, i am certain. but it's these types of life changing events that make you sit up and realize. it. could. all. be. gone. tomorrow. and if you don't realize that, search asheville, boone, saluda NC….they are proof. the things we get up everyday to do on our to do lists, they don't necessarily matter. yes, i am a firm believer in a purpose, when my feet hit the ground every morning i go through my to-do list in my head, BUT it could change any minute of any day and we have to know what is important ...

My DEBT secret confusion!

This is my dirty little secret confusion that I would have been humiliated to share this time last year, BUT I am very excited to share the Dertings LIFE changing year with you today......(although there is still a HUGE part of me that can't believe I am getting ready to share this with the world considering NO ONE has known about this) One year ago, TODAY, we were going to TN to celebrate Bryson's Birthday a little early at Wilderness of the Smokies...it was also his Valentine's Dance at school and I was pretty excited for the weekend to begin......BUT then Brooks called me at work and said to call him immediately.... I did and my HUGE secret was out and honestly it felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders although I could hear the anger in his voice and I honestly didn't know if he would divorce me or not........but it felt good knowing that the lies were out and OVER! I had always balanced our checkbook and had always been in charge of the money b/c ...
