Let’s Do This

Tagline says “Momming, Running, Traveling, Living” – Let me introduce myself by breaking it down:

Momming: I am a science teacher by trade, but not currently teaching. At this exact moment, I am alternating between sipping iced coffee & typing, mostly with one hand, while holding a (miraculously) sleeping 7 week old boy in the other arm. My almost 3 year old daughter is sitting at the counter next to me, still in her pajamas (it’s 4 pm) and clutching a Paw Patrol balloon. Husband of 6 years, who serves in the USCG & also owns a woodworking business, is out golfing. Must be nice. (Kidding!! He’s the best. *checks location to see if he’s headed home yet*)

Running: Let me tell you a story. Picture it: Alaska, 2013. (In my best Golden Girls “Sophia” voice… Anyone?) We got married in New Orleans in June, and by July we were settling into our new home in south-central Alaska. Culture shock, much? I desperately needed a hobby, and the knitting class I signed up for didn’t work out. (Really… I acted like some of my former high school students- asked to go to the restroom & never went back.) I received an email letting me know that a few of the other Coast Guard spouses were going to start training for the Alaska Salmon Runs taking place during the upcoming Salmon Jam festival weekend (more on that in a later blog post). Thus, my new hobby was born! We currently live in northeast Florida.

Traveling: As a military family, we move around every few years, have family and friends in many different states, and I look for races and run routes on every trip.

Living: Let’s be real- I have no clue how to blog. I’m just going to write about my life.

So, let’s do this!
