How I did it

It took me

5 years

It made me

How I did it: My husband bought me 10 laps for my 42nd birthday. It was a complete surprise and unbelievably fun. I felt indestructable after I got out of that car. All day long I kept wanting to tell people "I drove 163 mp this morning". Read how I did it…

have more fun

So this is my life... 2 years ago

For the last two years, life’s been anything BUT fun. Finally it got so awful I had to see someone and yes, since my mom will never see this, I can admit… I started on an antidepressant.

Who knew how good I could feel? How my skin wouldn’t feel so thin, the slightest things wouldn’t bring me to tears, I could stop resenting my life and start enjoying it!!! T and I are having the happiest most peaceful stage of our marriage in 12 long years. We laugh, we hold hands, we make plans. We have hobbies and we’re fixing up our house.
