Time out – not just for kids

October 14, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 25 Comments

GoAnimate.com: The last month and a half was a bit busy and stressful as I worried about school, training for my next marathon, fundraising, and planning my wedding.  The difference is that today: I am less than three days from my marathon, I am five weeks away from my wedding, and I have one less […]

Last weekend I learned my seven year old niece has a white blood cell count that is on the low end of the normal range. I began to wonder why her white blood count (WBC) is different from her younger sister who has healthy numbers according to her mom.  It was then that I started […]

August 9, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 18 Comments

  I was approximately 14 years old when it happened.  I was living in Germany at the time and my mother and I were leaving the store.  It was a very cold day.  Cold enough you could see your breath formed words if you tried to speak.  Shuffling over the black ice to our car, […]

Aaahhh… Every now and then we need to decompress.  By definition, to decompress is to return to a condition of normal atmospheric pressure gradually from a condition of increased pressure.  For divers this is equalizing on the ascent towards the water’s surface and the time spent between dives.  For everyone else, decompression could be thought […]

July 7, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 23 Comments

This past weekend, I celebrated Independence Day with my Fiance’s family in Minnesota. It was my first time visiting and the weather, location and company was absolutely perfect!  We explored back country woods on ATVs, shot sporting clay, whipped around the lake on a jet ski and checked each other for ticks.  Did I mention […]
