Reveal Something or Someone That You Miss
When it comes to something or someone that I miss, a few things and people come to mind. However, the number one thing that I miss I would have to say is swimming. I learned how to swim young, and at 6 years old I joined a competitive swim team. At first, I wasn’t too fond of the competitive aspects or the hard training, but I love the water and swimming. At 11 years old, I bit began to really take swimming more seriously, honestly because I was “in love” with this guy in my group. I never missed a practice and ended up getting really good and fast.

I did very well for a while, my team was my family. As we got older, I and other swimmers got bullied quite badly by another swimmer. Then my coach, who was like a third parent to me, quit and moved far away. I continued to swim, but the passion and desire was no longer there. My last swim competition was when I was 10 weeks pregnant with my daughter, Chloe.

After Chloe was born, I taught swimming lessons for a few years, it was nice to still be in and around the water and pool setting. Since quitting at the pool, I have missed swimming so much. I often say that I would like to get back to the pool, but it seems I can just never find the time to do so. I would like to say that this coming year I will, but I think I would be kidding myself. I am far too busy with the kids and school. The time will come though, it is not like you can forget how to swim (I think) but I’m pretty sure I won't forget.

Spring Time Tag

I haven't done a tag lately, really I haven't done much posting at all. With the end of the school year nearing the end I have been pretty busy.

Spring means glowing skin, what do you do for healthy glowing skin? Sunscreen? Haha, I don't really use anything else, usually just a tinted face cream with SPF 30 in it. 2. What is the first beauty thing you think of when the weather warms up? Letting my hair dry out in the breeze, it is always so soft and wavy when I do that.  3. What is your favorite part of spring?
