Wind, Rain, and Tornado Watches....OH MY!

The race....perfect location, perfect course, great swag, awesome t-shirt, and a Vera Bradley bag. Sounds perfect and great....

Still praying it is going to be. So far, I am sitting in the middle of a storm....literally this time! Listening the the thunder and rain as I type. Forecast for tomorrow.....10% chance of rain, happy about that. Wind, 17mph not happy about that!

We did get to walk on the beach. The waves were majestic looking as they crashed onto the white sand. I love the ocean. The sand here is like sugar. It is amazing. The water crystal clear, it is paradise. Even with wind and thunderstorms it is still paradise. That is kind of how I picture my life right now....even though there is wind and large storms brewing it is still....PARADISE!

Seaside....simply amazing. My rainbow is here....a future that I want to plan is here. This is where I dream of growing old. I can picture Scott and I on our beach cruisers riding down to the local market to pick up a picnic lunch for our day at the beach. Spending mornings sitting on our porch drinking coffee listening to the waves crashing. Going for runs on the same course we ran in our younger days. This is our dream. We talk about this dream all the time. I pray our dream comes true.

I dream of growing old with Scott. With no lumps and no illness. I pray that this storm will pass and we will have that future. Scott is amazing. He is everything to me. I am so blessed to have him as my husband, best friend and lover. He makes me laugh when I want to cry, he makes me strong when I feel my weakest. With him I am everything, I am complete.

Tomorrow, he will run MY pace. He will carry the phone, make sure we have the right hydration items, pack up our power gels, and make sure I have all the things to make this race perfect. At the end of the race he will grab my hand and we will go through the finish line together again.

No matter what the race, Scott will always grab my hand and we will go through the finish line together. Tomorrow will be perfect even if the weather isn't, because Scott is by my side.

Gracefully I look up and thank God for placing such an amazing man in my life. I pray for another awesome race, and a possibility of many more in my future with my best friend by my side always!





Thank you Scott, for never letting me cross a finish line alone. For fighting every fight with me, for being my everything. You are my strength, always. I am a better and stronger person because of you. Thank you for always taking care of me. I love you with all of my heart!
