#9: Saying goodbye to Frotzey- My 16 year old puppy went to puppy heaven. It was very emotional, but I am so grateful I got to be there to experience her release of pain after watching her deteriorate every time I journeyed home.
#8:And then he kissed me like I'd never been kissed before-After what had seemed like ages of resisting the obvious, I finally got to let down my guard.
#7: Iloe hugging me for the first time in the summer- Watching his face light up as he ran into my arms convinced me that I need to continue to make trips home.
#6: First Desert Camping Trip- These are my people! This may not be my place, but I realized that I CAN pull this shit off for another 18 months.
#4:Tajikistan!- All around the best experience of my life. So many little moments of joy and friendship stacked on top of each other. Mountains, great stories, vodka, and good company to top it off.
#3:Final Camping trip in Kazakhstan- Disgustingly rainy, and yet the perfect end to my time in Kazakhstan. A night with friends drinking beer around a campfire.
#2:Tengri Ultra- What a tough experience. This weekend of supporting fellow runners and having my friends support me through my toughest run yet, was totally worth every blister. I had such a blast camping, experiencing the local culture, and forcing myself through every step, to experience the diverse beauty of Kazakhstan.
#1: Girls night
A few beers deep at "girls night" I went to use the bathroom and sat contemplating so many things in my mind. I walked out of the bathroom and just said the words I was thinking directly out loud. The discussion that followed set me on a path to change my circumstances and realize that I was missing so many of the things I wanted in my relationship.
