Over the past 10 years, I have (in no particular order):
- made three incredible children
- lived through most of the 4th decade of my lifetime
- felt time stop when the Towers crumpled and stood in shock as the hospitals rose as one to help the victims, but no one came
- said good-bye to my adventurous grandmother, my feisty great-aunt, and my beloved father
- been diagnosed with a brain tumor
- sailed through brain surgery with the unwavering support of my husband, family, friends, and AN community
- completely lost the hearing in one ear
- adopted feline furbabies - first Guinevere and then Arthur a couple years later
- visited London and Scotland
- bought two new cars
- watched my husband transform into a father, and fell in love at a whole new level as it happened
- graduated with a Master's degree in Training & Development
- created a career in technical training
- gave up my career in technical training to be a stay-at-home mom, with no regrets
- found a new career working with other remarkable, supportive women with young families
- discovered the joy of volunteering in ways that help families
- made some amazing friends who have enriched my life and changed me for the better
