My First Post


Welcome to my blog! 

After spending years reading foodie, motherhood, medical, and military blogs, my husband convinced me to start my own.  I am guessing that my personal blogging will get off to a very slow start, but news of my husband’s impending deployment finally solidified my need for a creative and emotional outlet.  My goals are to keep you up to date on my life including posts about my adventures in the kitchen, stories of the ridiculous things my patients say or do, and coping with another deployment.  There will also be plenty of gratuitous Buckley pictures (I am a proud mom).

the first of many; Buckley as a puppy
                                        
A little bit about me: 

I grew up in Southern California with both my parents and an older brother.  After high school, I attended Pepperdine University and earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology.  My junior year, I met my best friend and now husband Mike (more about him later).  Although I started my college education thinking that I would be a doctor, somewhere along the way I decided nursing was the right future for me.  After finishing up at Pepperdine and getting married, I headed across the country to Johns Hopkins for nursing school while Mike prepared for his first deployment with the US Army.  Mike and I settled into our first home together in the Pacific Northwest after our year apart.  I began my career as an ICU nurse, we adopted our beagle puppy, and we bought our first house.
