Golf, Concert, and more hiking

 Not sure if I said this anywhere in the last few posts, but I was planning to hike the Grand Canyon this October, but it burnt down, so that plan is completely off the table now.  I have been hiking all summer to prepare and now I need to make new plans.  I also learned that I have a severely deviated septum and need surgery September 4 to fix it.  I am not excited.  

Tuesday was my friend, Jeremy Brumley's birthday, so we went golfing with him to celebrate.  We golfed at Sandia Resort and it was beautiful.  I did terrible but really had one of the best games of my life.  That is saying something.  Stephen and I just talked and laughed the hole morning.  After golf, I had to work then I met up with my friend Spencer Morgan to attend the Jimmy Eat World concert.  It was so so so good!! I love that band.  Brings back so may memories.  I made Stephen go with me to their concert when we were dating 20 years ago!  After Jimmy sang, another band, The Offspring, came on and sounded awful!!  I didn't even want to sit and listen as the main singer couldn't hit the notes.  He sounded tired and his voice was worn out.  Too bad because I do like some of their music.   

Running is the one thing in my life that has truly brought me so much joy.  I have worked hard to become a faster runner over the years.  It has been a long journey and I am so glad I started running in college.  It has helped me stay in shape and given me the best body I could ask for at 44.  I am truly blessed.  I get mad at my body sometimes but I am truly grateful that I am strong and beautiful.  

And, while I'm being perfectly honest, my husband has the best body of any 45 year old out there.  He seriously gives me butterflies when I think about him.  Even all these years later.  I adore him.
