It is already October. How in the hell is it already October?

Only ten months into 2012 and I feel like this has been the best year of my life. Already. Between signing up for a marathon and running Ragnar and meeting GCB and moving into a new role at work/getting a raise and settling into an incredible routine with some of the best friends a girl could ask for, things are, and have been, pretty amazing.

And things are just looking to get better.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be running a 5k with April and some other friends, going to the final Cardinals game of the season, going to see Les Miserables with my mama, running two half marathons, taking a trip to Arizona with GCB, celebrating my birthday, and continuing to run many, many miles on a weekly basis. And that just gets me into the first week of November.

It seems like life is just flying by at an ever-increasing speed, and some days knowing there is so much great stuff ahead, it’s difficult to just STOP and look around me. This is something I work on every day.

Because this time IS so incredible. Just this week I will get to see my young cousin’s first ever varsity volleyball game, go and spend time with GCB’s sister, bro-in-law, and two ADORABLE nieces, go to the baseball game, have a dinner date with my closest friends, and hopefully see a friend of mine who’s in town from Texas. Such a great week’s worth of plans.

Have I mentioned that life is awesome lately? Because it totally is.
