Episode Three (sort of)

Dear friends,

We last parted with a heartfelt confession from yours truly describing the difficulty I sometimes face when writing these blog posts. I've spent these past few weeks since then contemplating how to craft this particular post, knowing that it would be an especially tough one to tackle.

You see, when we started this journey, I told you that I'd had five seizures. While this is still true; it took me a long time wrestle with (on my own and through conversations with others) this particular "episode". However, through much deliberation, this little snag in the hose of my life did turn out to, in fact, be a seizure.

As much as I would like to say more and give you all the juicy deets; I can't. For personal reasons, and keeping my best interests in mind; I can't share all the details out there for all to see (and let's be honest; talk about around town).

So in the interest of not being a pot-stirrer, I shall not disclose any information about episode three. Cool? Cool. I thank you in advance for respecting my privacy and continuing to read on about...

'cause trust me! You're in for a reeeal interesting ride from here on out. It only gets crazier from here.

A Tisket, A Tasket, Hiding in my Basket

Oh hey there. Me again. Remember that one time a few months ago when I told you about all the fun things I'd write about on my next blog post and then I never posted again? Yeah, me too. Sorry 'bout that. Instead of boring you with a list of (pretend) high-pitched excuses of "Oh, I've just been so busy with this and that;". I'll attempt to be as straightforward with you as possible and catch you up on a few life events since I wrote last. Sound good? Gravy. Life Events: December 24, 2018: Got engaged! Remember Matt? When I had my first seizure and he showed up after I got loaded in the ambulance, then I immediately burst into tears because I could finally let my guard down-- that guy? Yeah! He's the one! We were enjoying Christmas with his family in Branson when he popped the question after the tree lighting ceremony at this picturesque little scene: January 3, 2019: Got my license back! It's really quite the long story which I will t...

Episode One- Part Two

The next thing I knew, I was lying on my back blinking myself back into awareness in our conference room. Now, when I say awareness-- that's a loose term. I was still pretty out of it. Let's just say I was no longer unconscious. Lindsay Payer, who is a board member and also an RN, rushed over to me and started asking me questions. I, however, was absolutely terrified and clueless as to what was going on. I'm not sure that I can even tell you the thoughts that were going through my head; all I really remember were the emotions I was experiencing. Aghast, frozen, alarmed: those are all very appropriate words but I'm still not sure they quite describe the immense confusion I felt when coming back into consciousness face up on the floor of that conference room. Anyway, Lindsay starts talking to me and I imagine myself looking something like this: or... It's ok to laugh. I mean, the pictures are kind of funny. The picture on the left is actually from a kid...

I ain't Wonder Woman

I'd like to open today's post with a quick story from my college days. The date was August 21, 2011. I only remember this because it was the day my second niece Addison was born and I'd gotten a text about her arrival early that morning and I was so excited I couldn't fall back asleep. For those of you that don't know, I went to Kansas State University and was an ambassador for the College of Human Ecology my sophomore through senior years there. It was a really fun experience where I could pretend to be an extrovert, and nerd out about all the cool things that Human Ecology had to offer, before going back into my introvert bubble. Anyway, this was on a Sunday I believe- shortly before or right around the time classes were going to start for the fall. We ambassadors were headed out to the low ropes course at K-State for some team-building activities on our retreat. I was the group's president for that year so I came ready to lead! conquer! win all the chal...
