A New Beginning

For now, this is for me. But on the off chance anyone ever reads this, let me sum myself up using the only descriptions I can. 

I'm just a girl, working as an ICU nurse in Indianapolis with the perfect dog, a far-from-perfect house, the greatest boyfriend, and the most supportive family and friends, who has no idea what she wants to do "when she grows up." 

I read other blogs and I feel this need to write - I used to be a writer. I was an everyday journalist, and could whip up an essay for English at a moment's notice, but I worry that I've lost my touch. Not to mention, what do I have to say that would be worth anything at all? So for now, I'm going to write about my Perfectly Average Life, and I guess I'll see where we go from there!

I want to post recipes, workouts, and funny stories (HIPPA approved, of course) from work and my life. Hopefully I have a few! In the mean time, I'll be trying to losing weight, getting healthier, exploring my options for going back to school, and (maybe!) waiting on a pretty shiny ring that is hopefully on its way within the next several months. I want to use this space to joy in the small things in life and not forget to stop and smell the roses from time to time. 

To finish, one of my very favorite pictures from this summer: my perfect 4-year-old Godson (almost) flying a kite at the beach...
