I missed you guysssss

Okay bloggers-I missed you!

I haven’t typed a real post here in far too long…so lets recap to the beginning of March.

As most of you know, the General Manager at my hotel has Colon Cancer-we were able to celebrate another birthday with him. I am not the biggest fan of hospitals because, well, you go there to visit those who are ill. It just makes me sad. But it was John’s birthday, so I swallowed my nerves, made a fancy no sew fleece blanket, and got to see my boss. Although he didn’t look too well, it was so great to see him, and he was glad to see me. I was able to meet some of his family; and to me, that was kind of a big deal. It’s great to know I’ve built amazing relationships throughout my life. You never know whom you affect!

March was also Colon Cancer Awareness Month-so naturally I ran the Chris4Life Colon Cancer 5K with my family and co-workers. I ran last year with my family, in honor of Mum-Mum. This year was a little different; I ran in memory of Mum-Mum and in honor of John. I’m super competitive, but this race had more meaning to me. I ran with my sisters, and coworkers, and have no idea what time I finished in. It doesn’t matter if I came in first or last, just that I fought through 3 miles, just as many patient fight through chemo.

On a more positive note, John was released from the hospital last week after being there for three months. Great news!

My little sister came home for spring break, and we celebrated her birthday by enjoying a Washington Capitals game! Her first game actually, we had a blast!!! That same day, I received more great news-I got a promotion at work! I’ll be a manager! Very exciting.

Other than that, I’ve been super busy transitioning jobs, school, baking, and running. My older sister’s baby is due in less than a month, so we had a few baby showers for her these past few weeks. Any day now! This coming weekend I will be running in the Sole of the City 10K with my sister, her first 10K! Also for a great cause, and its always fun sharing an experience like your first race with someone. I’m excited for her, and cant wait!

Where are you racing this weekend? Which ones have you recently completed?
