Going on vacation.....if they let me on the boat!!

So I am excited about going on this cruise. But since last week things keep working against me. Started last week when I decided out of the blue to look for my passport...Its kinda gone all down hill from there.

• Last Tuesday....realized my passport was not where I usually keep it. Eric and I looked for 2 hrs tearing apart the house looking for it. No where to be found. I am usually smart about these things. I was sick to my stomach for 2 days coming to the realization that I wasn't going to find it. So I am going to show up tomorrow with my other documents and hope they let me on!!! Not to mention let me come back!!!
• I sick!!! Some kind of sinus junk....just what I need getting on a cramp boat breathing everyone else's air....yay. 
• I decided, like a dummy, to go to body pump after not going for 2 weeks. Now I am sore all over. 
• Knox chewed up my ipod holder and my headphones yesterday. I think he was jealous because I have gone for "walks" without him. 

I am still going though....passport or no passport. What stinks most about the whole passport thing is that I am going to have to pay to replace it. Booo! This is also the longest time I will have spent away from Eric without any contact. ;(

In other news I have decided to start training this summer for a half marathon. I know...who would have thought?? Just incase you dont know a half marathon is 13.1 miles. Its like me running from my house in Ellerslie to my mom's house on Moon Rd!!!! I am scared. Mostly of failing. But I have a knack of accomplishing things I want to do when I put my mind to it, even when people tell me I can't, or its hard, or stupid. I guess I just like proving people wrong. The only thing is it cost more money then I ever thought it would. Once you buy the shoes, the clothes, then pay for the races....it cost. Not to mention the training. A patient asked me a while back what I did for fun, or if I had any hobbies....the sad thing is I couldn't give her an answer!!! Sad! I realized outside of work I really didn't have anything to do!! I mean I paint, and sew, but not as a part of a group or anything. I just taught myself and when I feel up to it I do it. And Eric has his photography, which I can tell you, is way more expensive then some running shoes!
The half marathon I plan on running is the week before Thanksgiving and is called The Solider Marathon.   Not sure what exactly it benefits, but its kinda cool because you pick a fallen solider and run in honor of them. I have an idea who I am going to run in honor of, but I haven't asked yet. I want to run in honor of someone I have some kind of connection to. Anyways, I'm excited. I know its going to be hard, and its going to push me to physical and mental limits that I have never been to before. But if I could get through nursing school while planning a wedding, mentally I feel like I can do anything! Plus I feel like it will prepare me for other things I want in life.....
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Go and love on your mamma!!
