Together we can!

Saturday September 24 marked the return of the MS Walk to Paducah KY. It was a rainy morning but the rain stopped just in time for the walk to begin. I was humbled to see my family and friends there to support me, especially Jordan's Tilghman Football teammates who also got up very early to join us! This week will mark the one year anniversary of my diagnosis. As I sat in the stands Friday night and watched my son on the football field, I realized that I am a very lucky girl. I know everyday that EVERYTHING happens for a reason.  I have had some bad days over the past year, but each day I am learning. Learning to live with this sometimes dibilitating disease, learning to support others who have this life altering condition and most of all learning to be an example to my children, my family and my community. We had a great time at the MS Walk and I am excited to do it again next year!

To a New Beginning

This weekend we have been working hard to get moved in to our new home in Paducah. We have been slowly moving over the past few weeks but this weekend we got the majority finished and we are ready to start our new life in our new city. The intent of the move is for me to be close to my new job so that I will be able to rest after school.  I have been teaching at Paducah Middle for a month and I love it. I feel like I am where I am supposed to be, and now we can begin finding our way in the community as well. I have already made a friend in the neighborhood and have found out that her son and Jordan have been friends since the first day of school. I am excited about the possibilities in our new home and look forward to many years here!
