WHEW....is it really just Wednesday?!?

Oh my, I am not sure why I thought this was going to be a slow week at work because for the past 3 days I have looked at the clock and it has been 2:00 or after! Grades were due today for me, so that has been a MAJOR on the to-do list, but they are thankfully posted and off of my list! MAYBE tomorrow and Friday will be a little slower, I can only hope.

I should be cleaning the house instead of writing, but I need a minute to sit! My sweet boy played an EXCELLENT soccer game last night with a last minute goal for the Blue Dogs. He had an EXCELLENT cheering section as well. He really listened to Brooks about playing defense. I see him starting to grasp the concept of soccer more each game, which makes me very happy.....considering I am not sure if Brooks would be able to handle it, if Bryson doesn't pursue soccer. As most of you know Brooks is the JV Soccer Coach for West and LOVES the sport with great passion. I am proud of him though because he said he doesn't want to coach Bryson at this age because he doesn't want to push too hard and cause him to hate the game. Brooks will not be at his game tomorrow night because of his team's practice, but Mom and Terry will be there, so I hope that he will perform as he did last night!

Other than my craziness at work and Bryson's soccer schedule this week, I don't have much more to talk about! Amazing, huh? I have not yet had the opportunity to work on my challenge for the week, so I am hoping before Sunday I will have the chance. Hope you have had a good week thus far and that you have had the chance to make someone smile :) I better go because I hear dinner, laundry, and vacuuming calling my name VERY LOUDLY! Until next time, love you!

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 ...

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...

My relationship with running....

Running has never been my friend, never been something I LONG to do....honestly it annoys me greatly...I saw a girl at a 5k with a shirt that said, "I hate running".....I laughed and thought how perfect that shirt would be for me! I registered for the Disney 1/2 marathon for January.....I saw several people running 1/2s and full marathons several months back and it gave me the urge to want to set that as a goal....I have only, EVER, run 5ks and I don't do those very well. I have learned through this running journey that when it comes to exercise I am mentally WEAK! I decided that if I was going to torture myself with one of the top 5 ranked goals of my life thus far....it was going to be in a place worth a celebration in the end....so I searched tropical locations and Disney....I soon learned races are way more pricey than local 5ks and if I was going to commit I wanted the kids to get some fun out of it too....so I pondered and waited until registration opened in April...
