Quick Update
It's been a long time since I've written on here. I've failed at a couple of attempts of updating this blog in the past 3 years, leaving behind unpublished drafts with just a few sentences each. I just deleted them all and have decided to start fresh.
Life has been a great adventure the last 3 years and I won't dwell on those for now. I'm in Seattle, Washington, now and loving it. This summer has been wonderful and Ben and I have had the chance to enjoy it to the fullest.
We've become quite the athletes in our own way and enjoying the outdoors.

What's Happening Now
Not going to lie, I'm a little scared. Putting your body under general anesthesia is scary to me. Having parts of the hamstring tendons removed and drilling holes into your bones to rebuild a support to act as your ACL is scary. Going through 6 months of physical therapy and recovery sounds excruciating. I'm going to need to exert more patience than I've ever had before. It'll be a challenge but I'll tackle it.
I'm looking forward to having a fully healed knee where I'll be able to play tennis, dancing, jumping, go rock climbing and get back into more running, biking and swimming. Ben and I have plans to do a marathon every month for a year whenever I'm ready next year. This list below is what inspires me to take good care of myself and recover well.
This is only the tentative list that we've started and we'll be adding more.
I'll be keeping a journal here of my surgery and its process so I can share my experiences and progress.
Here's to running, dancing, jumping, biking, hiking and much more with all of you later!
