Day One - January 12, 2011 and away we go....

Today is the first day of my blog. For those of you who dont know me, Hi! my name is Andrea! My nickname is Andi, my dad gave me the nick name many, many years ago. After hating it most of my life I finally embraced it, sadly after my father died.  I'm a divorcee who tried to work it out with my ex, only to find out that I was the only one working on anything in that relationship.  I'm the mother of an awesome and very tall 15 year old son.

In February 2010 I caught up with an old high school friend on Facebook and got caught with him in March and honestly haven't look back since! With the exception of one very low spot, I have had the BEST 10 months ever.

I have done quite a few things I never thought I would ever do. Starting this blog comes to mind the biggest thing was running a 5K. Yep there I was on a very cold morning in December running outside of International Plaza, in the Jingle Bell Run.  I almost gave up, I was tired and depressed at how long those stupid 3 miles were taking me. I am so glad I did not give up, I would have never found my very own reindeer waiting for me with that smile that makes everything right at the finish line.

Things are going to be changing for me. Going to become and big happy family again, getting ready for another 5K, The Gasparilla Distance Classic in February.  Looking forward to getting organized and settled!

It will be wonderful to be one big happy family again and we will be.. There will be My Favorite Mom, Better Half, Andi That Girl, The Skwirl, The Wurthless and The Flea.

Until tomorrow, stay warm and be good to each other!

Andi That Girl!
