Howdy y'all!

It's been over a week since I last posted and since I last updated on the evil morning sickness. Well that bitch is here and it's not pretty. I LITERALLY feel like I wanna puke every waking moment. It's a vicious cycle...nauseous, really nauseous, eat, very nauseous, nauseous. Over and over and over again. Damn, someone throw me a bone! Thee only thing good about morning sickness is that it signifies that everything is going ok inside. Right now I'm 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant and with each day that passes I feel more confident that I'm not going to miscarry. Yay for that!

In other news, classes started and I can officially say I'm in my last semester at USF (Finally!). It only took a little over 10 years, but I'm actually going to graduate and be able to say I have a bachelors degree in social science. That feels awesome. I'm so glad I stuck to it. I'm taking 3 online classes since all I had left were electives. The best part is I have zero papers to write. If you know me you know how much I dread writing papers. OMG, no more papers for the rest of my life, Yay!!! I really have my husband to give credit to for me finishing school. He has been awesomely supportive of my education. Thanks babe!!

I'm still keeping up with the running. I ran 5 miles 3X last week and 2X this week so far. My goal is to get 15 miles a week. I hope I can keep up the running throughout most of this pregnancy. I figure if I can get out there and do it now feeling like shit, once the morning sickness dies down it should be a lot easier.

Tomorrow we leave for Orlando. It's going to be so nice to get away with Chip even if it is just for one night. Our plans are to leave here around noon, drive to Orlando, check in and shower, go out to dinner, go to the show, go back to hotel, order late night room service, watch tv, sleep in, go for run around the resort, eat breakfast, shower, and back to Tampa. Fun times!!

My father in law (who's running his 3rd marathon this year, holla!!) offered to pick my race shirt up for me since I did pay $125.0o to enter, but I declined. I don't want that shirt. I just wouldn't feel right wearing a shirt to a race I didn't even run, kwim? That's false advertising. Only once I've run my marathon will I sport the shirt with pride.
