I've been thinking about starting a new blog for a long time now. My old one was made when I was 15 and I just didn't feel like it really reflected me appropriately anymore.
1. I think I've learned to be a more positive and happy person.
2. I'd like to have a fresh clean start.
3. That LJ name was horrendous. What in the world was I thinking at 15?
So, welcome!
If I just added you then here are the basics:
1. My family unit includes: 1 long term boyfriend, 1 grandma, 4 chickens: Parmesan, Kung Pao, Dumpling, and Ginger
2. J's parents and mine don't live in my house (thankfully), but they are very much a part of our lives.
3. J and I both have younger brothers. Mine happens to have a developmental disability. It's a source of joy and despair in my life. Love him anyways.
4. I'm headed to Physician Assistant School in August 2011.
5. I've worked in health departments as a public health professional for 5 years now. On the most part I enjoyed it. But I always knew I wasn't cut out for the 30 year pension plan public service thing, and that I needed a lot more freedom. So after a lot of self examination, I'm quitting and running away.
6. I'm an instructor in public health at a local university part time. I love it. Teaching is something that makes me feel good. It's hard work though.
