Yes it's been a whole year since my last posting... it's been a hard year and half and I haven't been the happiest person and haven't had many good things to say... so I haven't said much of anything. And then the thought of catching up on everything from that time whole is really overwhelming - I still haven't done a post on my Tanzania trip (one of my favorite trips ever!), or about the 4th of July and how the Fire Department just turned on a fire hydrant and let it go for what felt like forever after the neighborhood parade and how the kids loved it, or about my new job and the trials and learning curve there, or how I haven't been able to run for about 8 months because my feet and ankles hurt too much, or that I got to go home for Christmas, or about my newest niece and nephew (I'm a proud auntie of an even dozen now!), or that Mom and Dad are headed back to Ukraine for their 3rd mission (!!), or ... I could go on and on! But Mom convinced me that I just needed to take some baby steps and start with the here and now and go back and fill in things as there's time and desire... So in the spirit of baby steps, here's something from the here and now - pictures from the photo booth at the annual health science center's employee BBQ - these are my co-workers! The back row is Matt (clinical coordinator), Meg (the boss!), and me (that's not a head band I'm wearing - it's a fuzzy pink thing with antenna stars!) and the front row is Denise (in the knight's helmet) and Katie (princess). And yes - I was laughing the whole time with a devil's pitchfork in one hand and a chocolate creamie in the other hand!!
Here's to a new start...
