For those of you that know the NACOS method, know the process. and what the purpose of our short stories are for. Those of you that do read, (thank you for reading) I am going to run a series about each of my grandparents, as they are all close to my heart. I’ll begin with my mother’s mother.  Nereida Vazquez.

Without a doubt the strongest memory that comes to mind is my 9th birthday. I was visiting San Francisco and staying at my Grandma’s house. The day before my birthday, she came into the room I was sleeping in, singing the happy birthday song and dancing around the room, holding my present in her hand. My Aunt was the one who originally bought the gift for me. And was upset that she had given it to me a day early. I don’t think Grandma was thinking about that. I think she just wanted to see me happy. :)…..Oh! What was the present? It was a Video Game for my Nintendo, Metal Gear.

I’ve been drawing a lot of images that describe how I feel and then also A Kanji character. It’s fun for me as I think it is unique and different way of expressing myself. Hopefully I’ll get them on here and share them with you all soon

Today I finished work late. Unfortunately, I was supposed to be at class so I called my teacher to say I would be late. The teacher said it was ok but I should hurry up! So, I rushed home and changed clothes. But, on the way to class it rained and I got wet! What bad luck!

It’s been almost two weeks since I ran in the Air Force marathon in Ohio. It was my first marathon ever. Actually, I did the half not the full. Still, 13.1 miles is a long way to run especially since I wasn’t sure if I was even going to make it to the event. I started training in June and experienced a foot injury in mid-August, which caused me to stopped running for almost three weeks. I went to see a doctor to be sure I could still run. She cleared me but warned that I should be cautious and not overdue the running. Well, I made it to Ohio having ran very little the last few weeks leading up to the event. I was afraid at first, but my husband’s encouragement pushed me forward. And although I knew I could have walked if I needed to, I was able to slowly run the entire way and I did it in a little over 2 1/2 hours, which was half an hour shorter than my goal of 3 hours. The best part of the entire experience was being able to share this great moment with my family.
