And so we begin

One year ago today I very well could have been in my 30 square foot Manhattan apartment blogging about my life in New York City, my visits home to see my boyfriend and life as a brand new nurse in a huge city.  Today, I'm sitting in beautiful condo on the edge of downtown Minneapolis, my husband is at work, an adorable pooch sits on my lap and I have a night ahead of me as a nurse in smaller community hospital.  In one year my life has rapidly changed....

I moved from these tiny living quarters in New York City:

 To this spacious condo in downtown Minneapolis:

I moved nursing positions from this city hospital:

To this community hospital:

 I got engaged in New York City:

 Then got married in Virginia state:

 I gained 5 brother-in-laws, three sister-in-laws, a mother-in-law, a father-in-law, a nephew and four dog-in-laws:

I lost an old friend:

And then gained a new one:

I started a job in a cancer clinic:

Then moved to a job working with cancer patients in a hospital.

My only sibling got married, I gained a beautiful sister-in-law and a complete family:

 I took a hiatus from 'the blog' while moving, wedding planning, changing jobs and becoming a newlywed.  Now that I'm settled in a bit more, I have the time and energy to share my life with you all. As many of you may know I am a passionate writer with a mind for wellness, health, and faith.  I can't wait to share my story with you all; I hope you leave feeling a little fulfilled, a bit of joy and a lot of love.
