A brisker day than I had expected, it was in the 40s! The walking does get your blood flowing so it wasn't so terrible and Bally Total Fitness was there to start us off with some warm-up exercises. I am so happy that so many of our girls came out and joined us so early in the morning! We had a significantly larger group this year and met more along the way. It is a great event to participate in and I am glad Shaun was there to walk with me.
Hope starts with us!
One year ago this weekend is when Shaun and I really got to know each other better and became friends. It was the during the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Today, we will be walking together again with Grace Institute students and staff members, but as a couple. Who would have thought that we would start a relationship? Jolene and Maggie did! They knew we were meant for each other a long time ago.
We started dating in July and Shaun has been absolutely wonderful! Our relationship has blossomed from becoming good friends to being best friends. He is the one I want to plan a future with and start a family. We may have opposite personalities but our views and values are very similar. However, he is definitely more patient, calm, and rational than I am, which in a sense balances out our relationship. I have grown accustomed to all the PDA (public displays of affection) and don't mind it so much anymore; sometimes I even like it.
I couldn't ask for anyone better to be my partner in life and to share adventures with. Shaun is a really special person and the more I learn about him the deeper I fall for him. I don't know what I would do without him now, he's like my other half that I couldn't possibly live without.
The pink ribbon, a symbol of women everywhere joined together to fight against a great cause. On Sunday, October 19th, I will walk with Grace Institute in Central Park to support the American Cancer Society, all women out there who have or know someone who has breast cancer, and women everywhere. This will be my second year walking with Grace Institute and it is a great event to be a part of! You can support me by clicking here!
Join us for the walk and brunch at Peters' afterwards!
