Let's Start at the Very Beginning...

Ok, first confession:  I've never written a blog.  Back in the good ole' days, I used to love, love writing.  Why start a blog all of a sudden?  Frankly (my dear), I need a new distraction.  I'm starting up my second year of medical school with little distractions to keep my life seemingly normal.  Last year, I was all kinds of distracted, with my husband at basic training and planning our wedding (more of all that to come).  So, new distraction = blog writing.

Basics of Me?
I'm a born and bred Hoosier (growing up with them Indiana boy on them Indiana nights!)
I'm a nerd with a biology/chemistry degree who's currently attending medical school.

That would be me.  Those bangs were a bad attempt at me copying Heidi Klum.

I'm married to an amazing man named Pierce who puts up with me on a daily basis.  He's in the Air Force Reserves and his day job is installing bathrooms and kitchens.

We have two dogs that are our children.  They are both rescues.

 That would be Lady George AKA Lady, a terrier mix. She's almost 3.

This is Socrates AKA Socs.  He's a 1 year old Great Dane/Black Lab mix.  He's a little bigger now than in this picture.

I love a multitude of things.  Reading, cooking, decorating our home on a budget, projects, planning parties and events, football (Go Colts!), basketball, margaritas... the list goes on.  Hopefully this blog will be a place to learn a little about all of that.  I'm sure I'll throw in posts about medical school, the dogs, how we planned our wedding, and just about anything that crosses my mind.

Until next time...
