En route to #50

In all my rushing around to tie up loose ends prior to departing for Hawaii, I never got to blog about the fact that IT'S HERE! (Literally sitting in my seat, first class this go round- going out with a bang!) One if these days ill learn how to blog properly from phone, so I apologize about format and brevity...

Yesterday I took the day off work to pack, run errands, and just decompress. Once I picked up my shirt I had made- everything finally started sinking in 

This will go fabulous with my Wonder Woman stars skirt, but unfortunately mom was hemming it for me since it was long and I won't see the whole outfit together till we're actually in Hawaii tonight!

I went on a quick 5 miler after picking up the shirt and would you believe I actually starting crying during the run just thinking about what race day is going to feel like? I have so many emotions going on, but the biggest is just being so overjoyed that a lofty goal I set a little over 3 years ago is finally being met! I'm still astonished at how much this experience has enriched my life- new friends, travel, sense of purpose, and the biggest reward- finding my niche and gaining confidence in who I am and what I aspire to be.

Next time you hear from me ill be in tropical paradise - if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook- I apologize in advance for my obnoxious photos... Now time to MOVE THAT PLANE (said with inflection of HGTVs "move that bus!")

Hope ya'll have a fabulous day!!
