Ups and Downs

The past year has been full of ups and downs and not just on the scale.  There hasn't been an area of my life that hasn't been impacted for better and worse.  The play on words was intentional.  In January I got engaged.  He proposed under the Campanile on the Iowa State Campus (his alma mater) at midnight.  This was definitely an "up" moment.

It got better as his kids and mine expressed their delight at us being a "real family".  I also discovered how truly dedicated my fiance, friends and family are to me and my reaching this goal, despite the challenges I've faced.

There have been some big "down" moments too, however, involving my health, my finances and one very heart-breaking loss of what I considered a die-hard friendship. 

So, now what? 

Simple.  I get up.  I put my walking shoes on.  I keep going.  

Stay tuned.
