I am Annie.....

Sometimes it has to be about me.
I feel like there is MUCH sacrificing going on in my life.
OF which I would NOT have it any other way.
But sometimes we need time-outs!
I will always be Annie.
I have a plan.
I have 32 million goals.
I have 4 offspring of which I have plans to have them Succeed.
This will SOON all unfold, and I'm very excited.
.
But I also have to remember that I have to take care my myself.


I LOVE this picture!!
Another Photographer caught me shooting.......
I think it SHALL be printed....:)
Me, Myself and I doing my thing I love so much!

So Super HAPPY that I was able to spend Mothers Day weekend with my FAVORITE 4!
Running the race with Autumn {and my sissy} was amazing!
Autumn did Amazing for her first race....she paced herself and I was so proud!
I think I found my clone running partner!

I just signed up for the Top Of Utah Half Marathon!
I wonder if a FULL marathon will ever make its way into my life.....
I have teetered that Thought.
A lot Actually!
What I love about running is that I always seem to relate it to my personal life.
Especially when its hard core training time-----
.
Running is hard.
Life is hard.
Only one that can cross the finish line will be me.
My work, My determination, My efforts!
Times when I wanna give up.
Not go forward, and not run one more step.
But I do....
I go forward, and sometimes my legs are too numb to feel.
But I know the path.
Its right in front of me, I see it!!! 
Somehow my body and mind seem to know how to keep moving.
.
Its so important to have positive support.
A cheering section....... :)
.
My music is my water.
I have songs that when I hit a wall, I will quickly find and play.
Usually louder then I usually do.
.
In my life-----
I have been Judged and made fun of and punched like a punching bag.
Lied about, Mocked and kicked when down.
.
{People throw rocks at things that shine}
I see what peoples Motives are.
and I have changed mine!
Someone said "My believes are strong and my potential is incredible"
.
Despite my Trials
I have LEARNED who Annie is.
I don't hide who I am.
Whether I choose to go to church on Sundays, I still have a testimony.
Whether I have tattoo's, I still have a relationship with my savior.
Whether I choose to say hell and damn, I still get on my knees and let him know how thankful I am!
I feel so lucky to be where I am.
In all aspects......
.
My eyes see clearer.
My heart is very tender.
I love differently.
I know what  small things matter.
IM SO NOT PERFECT!
and I like it that way....:)
Things were taken away and I clawed my way back up.
From the ground.....
I know how I work, and I know what I need.
 I will do things on my own time, on my own watch.
I won't eat the whole elephant at once......
Im not AFRAID
Biggest accomplishment right there!!.  NOT afraid!!.
Not afraid of bullies.
Not afraid of myself.
Not afraid of success.
Not afraid to say no.
I cleaned house......and clicked delete and didn't feel one ounce of saddness.  :)

.
I like who I am!
I am proud
 I will fight.
  And will continue to building my way up!
One foot in front of the other.......
