As I watched the Tampa skyline fade in the background I drove toward my new life. My life with David- and with Dixie and Jack and Kitty. I drove with hopes and doubts about my new ambitions bouncing around my mind.
I am exited to be following my heart and taking risks for me.. but I am still scared silly!
This week I will get caught up on life, start my marathon training, blog and look for part-time jobs I can do while I work on my NASM CPT course. It will be good.
Life is still so so sweet.

Woot! Wishing you the best! Lots of good things in store for you.
So exciting! You're going to have amazing adventures :)

Congrats! What a beautiful picture.
Good luck in orlando! you're going to love it there. I'm about to embrace some big changes too, and i've been thinking about you all week.
i remember feeling the same way after i sold my business and took this job nearly 2 years ago. i had to make that drive home from the office with over 4 years worth of business crap in the van. It feels good to be starting something new. a different reason to get excited.
It's sad but so brave! Congrats on following your dreams!!!
Go on and follow your dreams! :D The best is yet to come!
Good for you for taking this next step. You should be so proud. So many people let that sad, scared feeling overpower the hope and potential happiness and never take the step. You have some great times ahead of you. Enjoy the experience!
i love this picture! GOOD LUCK, keep looking forward my dear, there is so much in store for you!
Good luck! I'm sure the change will be hard but good things usually come with big life changes.
I love that picture.
you are such an amazing person for going forward into the (somewhat) unknown with such positivity and optimism. im sure you will be rewarded with nothing but the best. good luck ashley!!
Best of luck in your new life! I'm excited to see where it takes you :-)
Best of luck to you - definitely a bittersweet time for sure. That picture is amazing!
Best of luck to you! I am sure there will be ups and downs, but hang in there!
Awww.... I know exactly what you mean, having just packed up my entire apartment. You will have so much fun in your new life, but it's nice to treasure the memories from your old one too. Have a good move and enjoy settling in with all your loved ones!
Best of luck! I hope there's tons of goodness waiting ahead. :-)
Good thing you are following your heart even though it is scary, great things are waiting for you out there! I wish you the best and can't wait to read more about how you are adjusting :)
