Holiday Update

Ok, so I know this is a review for some, but I want to make sure everyone gets a chance to catch up on what I’ve been up to over the past year…

2008 began with a wonderful new addition to the family – Rusty – a puppy I adopted from the animal shelter where I volunteered while living in Texas. He and Titus get along great, and I love having them around.

In April I completed my first triathlon, the Lonestar Sprint Tri in Galveston, Texas. I also competed in the Iron Babe Super Sprint Tri in May and the Brierman Sprint Tri relay in October – My team took first place in the women’s relay division! (I should point out that we were the only team in that division, but we still got our first place medals! – Go Navy Chicks!)

1st Place Champions!

This year I was afforded several opportunities to travel home to Maine to visit, enjoying a week at the lake this summer, my 10-year high school reunion in the fall, and almost 2 weeks for Thanksgiving. It’s a good thing too, since I recently got my orders and will be moving to Naples, Italy in July 2009! I hope to come home to visit at least once in the spring, and am also planning a trip down south to visit family in the Carolina’s before I leave as well.

As I look forward to 2009, I am excited to see what the future holds. I am almost done with grad school and should be graduating in August with a dual Master’s in Healthcare and Business Administration. I’ll be moving to Naples to work at the Naval Hospital, and I plan to do lots of traveling around Europe while I’m there. I also expect to begin training soon in order to compete in a few more triathlons this year as well.

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and a happy holiday season.

Happy New Year!
