Life Updates

So as you may or may not know, I was supposed to be on a ship right now traveling around Central America on my humanitarian deployment… but that got officially cancelled almost a month ago. And what have I done since then? I really couldn’t tell you! Time has been flying by like crazy! Work has been insane and I constantly feel like I am just trying to keep my head above water. One thing I know is that I finally retired my little ’96 Nissan for a new-to-me ’13 Ford Edge, and I am loving it! I loved my little pink car, but it was time to move on. And although I am now getting half the MPG I was before (filled up my new car for the first time this week and it was painful watching the $$ go up and up…), but it’s alright. It’s worth it for the incredible jump in safety and comfort I now have. Anyway, what else is new?! Danny and I decided to adopt Finn, our 7th …

Thankful November

I already missed a few days, but I will try to make up for it: 1 November – I am thankful to be a part of the United States Armed Forces and the US Air Force Pharmacy Family. Last week, I attended the Joint Forces Pharmacy Seminar where members from all different branches come together to share ideas and learn what is new and upcoming in DoD Pharmacy.

I am thankful to be a part of something so much bigger than myself and I look forward to everything the future has to bring within this organization. 2 November – I am thankful for short hair! I recently cut it and it’s the shortest it’s been …

Always an Adventure

Yet again re-inspired to keep up my blog… it takes a lot to keep me going these days (this time I credit the book The Happiness Project that I picked up at the airport the other day… but more on that later). This past weekend, two of my friends from pharmacy school got married in Hilton Head, South Carolina. It was a beautiful wedding on the beach, and the bride looked absolutely gorgeous. It was also amazing to see everyone again. Most of them I haven’t seen since graduation almost a year ago! So here’s the adventure part… I had bought my ticket for just the weekend from the 27th through the 29th of April. Well, we get to the airport, I walk up to the counter, give her my name… and wait; she can’t seem to find my reservation. She asks me what time my flight is, so I tell her… and then I hand her the piece of paper I’ve been carrying around all weekend with my flight information on it. She looks at …
