April Really...

I cannot believe that we made it to April, back in January we never thought we would get here, the Dr.'s and the staff look at us in amazement every time we walk through those doors, at first I was wheeling in after the hospital bedrest, my strength is coming back one day at a time. I made a cake for your Uncle Todd yesterday and thought to myself one day my Kayla and I will be making cakes for Daddy, and Uncle Todd, and all the people we love. I am not the best cook in the world but am willing to try anything and hope that you will be open to try and explore new things every day. I can tell you one thing I have learned on this earth is that you have to keep trying new things so that you can expand your mind, there are many times that I have met people and they turn their noses up at things they have never tried, and those closed minded people don't get far. When I entered my first race, inspired by my college housemate Mandy Hoeser Shifflett the guy at the training presentation asked a question that has somewhat in many ways changed my life, he asked "When was the last time you did something for the first time". I ask this to myself all the time, it challenges me to try new things, explore new challenges and impress myself by the things I really can do when I make an effort. So my darling baby always try new things, you will be impressed at how much you really can do.
