And it begins....

I signed up last night to run a half marathon through Chickamauga battlefield. I am super excited!! I actually have a relative named James Beard who fought, died, and is buried there. So, that kind of makes it even more exciting to be able to run the fields he fought so hard on! And it looks like I may be running the Disney half marathon as well with my cousin's wife. That will be so much fun!

I also signed up to take a rock climbing class. I get to do it next tuesday night. Fun fun!!!

It's fun to start making plans for just me. I plan on staying single for quite a while. (Hopefully Heavenly Father feels the same!!!) I want to just enjoy being by myself and get to know myself again.
So, there's my excitement! :)

It's official!

Yesterday was the divorce hearing. Yes, I am officially Christina Norris, divorcee. Time for fun! :) Actually, it's just nice to know that it's all done. I can now move forward with my life, and not have to look back. I truly hope Jason finds the happiness he is looking for in this life, I'm just glad that I get the same opportunity. I am hoping to learn so much from this experience and hopefully be a much better person for it. I just wanted to let everyone know.....

Wow....

So while I was home, Matthew showed me his slideshow of the pictures we took while we were in Waveland, Mississippi cleaning up after Hurricane Katrina. I forgot how completely devasted it was there!!! I am in awe at the amazing powers of nature and also the willingness of humans to help those who they don't even know. It's attests to the amazing power of our Heavenly Father!!! I am attaching it- for you all to enjoy. He did an incredible job and I am grateful that I have those memories.

"These difficult lessons teach us that man's extremity is God's opportunity, and if we will be humble and faithful, if we will be believing and not curse God for our problems, He can turn the unfair and inhumane and debilitating prisons of our lives into temples- or at least into a circumstance that can bring comfort and revelation, divine companionship and peace."
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland


Sorry all of my posts have been serious lately. I guess everything is starting to really sink in. And I just can't say how grateful I am to have the gospel back in my life.

New song

Well, as I sit here listening to my new cd, I have found my theme song. It's called "Details in The Fabric" by Jason Mraz. It says "Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way. Everything will be fine." To sum it up- just says that if your heart is broken- to continue in life and rebuild your life. And that everything will be fine!! Amen to that!

Take the jumps- is one of the last things it says..... I firmly believe that life is full of those. I am so grateful that we have that extra help. :) That is how I KNOW everything will be fine.

I'm rebelling...

Haha, so I am sure the name of this blog brought up some questions..... but here is how:
Jason was so stinking cheap, we never got new phones or bought movies, cds, etc.
1. My old phone was not accepting new texts, I would have to remove the battery and restart the stinking thing to actually get it to work. After 4 times, I went to Verizon and got a new phone..... and got the one I wanted!!!! I am LOVING it!!!
2. Today at Walmart I got a new cd!!! :) I really enjoy Jason Mraz, so I bought his cd!! I am done with a guy telling me what to do. I am my own person 100% now. I am going to enjoy it. Yeah!!!!

So, not as bad as you thought at first, I am sure...... haha, gotta keep everyone on their toes. :)
