I’m a 26-year-old living in the Southeast with my husband, RJ, and our four lovely cats.

We tied the knot on October 23, 2010, in St. Augustine, Florida. It was a wonderful day despite some minor hiccups, including a car accident ten minutes before our rehearsal.

I graduated in 2007 with a masters degree in social work. Nowadays you can find me working at a local hospital as a social worker, preparing to take my licensing exam in July 2011 taking a deep breath because I passed my clinical boards on July 15th, and dreaming of becoming a licensed clinical social worker in early 2012 and received my license in March 2012! It’s my personal mission in life to squash unflattering stereotypes of social workers. For instance, I am not a disgruntled, underpaid government employee nor do I snatch babies.

In March 2010, I completed my first half-marathon, the Disney Princess Half-Marathon in Orlando, Florida. I had the good fortune to train and run with a group of lovely “Princesses” and one amazing coach thanks to Team in Training.

I had dreams of going on to run a marathon in Spring 2011. However, an injury and a wedding interfered with those lofty ambitions. I recently signed up to run the K-Swiss Tour de Pain in August 2011 and Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Half-Marathon in November 2011. I ran the K-Swiss Tour de Pain, PRed all of my races, and learned that I am pregnant the very next week. Needless to say, I did not run the Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in November because I was 17 (give or take) weeks pregnant!
I also enjoy rock climbing at the local rock gym, reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, and spending time on my couch with my husband. This is my blog. Welcome to it!
