Wow, where does time go? Today is March 1st, the 3 year mark of my being in Utah. Life takes such turns, often times not what we expected or wanted but in every instance, God is good, regardless of what things look like.
In these 3 years my biggest accomplishment has been tackling a major heath issue. My weight. two weeks ago I hit the "C-note" as my coach puts it. I have lost 100lbs. I remember feeling absolutely hopeless when I was at my largest. I never ever though I would be able to make it this far. I feel so much better, so much stronger, so much happier. I Want to publicly thank my god, the lover of my soul, my soon coming king, my prince of peace, the one who captured my heart for never leaving me, never giving up on me and for always wispering words of life and love into my soul. Thank You Jesus, I love you from the bottom of my heart.
I have also been able to tackle some huge debt. I am forever greateful for my sister & brother-in-law's gracious generosity towards me and my daughter. I belive that at the current rate I will have them fully paid off in about 6-7 more months.
Daddy knows all seasons of life. I have had some very difficult seasons here in Utah- people, places, circumstances that I wouldnt have chosen had I known the end results, but at the same time, I have grown because of everything. Both the good and the less good. I am grateful for all of it.
The highlight of my wellness endeavors and time in Utah has honestly got to be the new love I have discovereed for the out of doors. I love hiking, camping, SKIING, and look forward to picking up bicycling this year. I will summit Mt. Timpanogos this summer and will go trail running and mountian biking in Moab. I plan on climbing Angels landing just to demonstrate my choice to no longer be afraid of heights and to be able to stand there on the top and say "I CAN DO ANYTHING". This is definately a new chapter in the book of Carrie.
One last thing. I have Hope again. I belive a new season of "discovery" is in store for me. I will keep you updated.

- I began training for my first half marathon race in January '09 and found others who wanted to run as well. We are finding more and more out about human trafficking- especially child sex-slave industry and want to do what we can to help stop it. so we got together and formed Run Against Traffic.. and have the goal of hosting races and using the proceeds to support organizations the support children who have been rescued out of sex trafficing/slavery.
