Out of Hibernation

I've missed this.

Oh so much.

Blogging got me through medical school.

And I've missed it.

That chance to sit down...

slow the film reel while replaying what's been going on in your life...

and blessedly recognize the beautiful moments, the lessons, to really see the people around you.

I haven't written over the last 8 or 9 months,

because

I find it very hard to describe the landscape around me,

when I feel like I'm in the middle of a tornado.

(Although that's probably exactly when I should be trying to.)

It seems like the spinning may be slowing down though,

and at least I can tell you where I've been.

I graduated from medical school.

I turned 30.

I moved. Twice.

I have held 5 or 6 different part time jobs.

I have been broke.  Many times.

I have gotten to see my family.  Many times.

I got to go to Scotland for a wedding.

My best friend and I had our first attempt at starting a business.

I bought a Winnebago!

And most, importantly,

I got engaged

to this wonderful man.

And I'd like to share it all.

To relive the glorious moments and to suss out what I learned.
