I am MANY things.

I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with this blog. But I think it will be interesting to have, to share with others.

I'm not sure how often I will write in it or what I will write about, or if it will even be interesting to anyone but me. That's okay. I honestly don't care if anyone reads this. If they do, I do hope they enjoy it or find something they can relate to in some way, shape, or form.

I am many things.

I am female.

I am 28 years old. I was born in July.

I am a lover of healthy foods, art, the color pink, wine, get-togethers with friends, and a good romantic comedy... all-at-once or separately.

I am a survivor of a dysfunctional family, both in my childhood and the present. I lost my father to an addiction and the behaviors that come along with it. I love my mother but I function a lot better with some distance between us. I would like to be closer (in distance) to my sisters though.

I am a therapist and I do what I do because I enjoy helping others. I only wish I had less student loans and made a little more money.

I am a runner. I have participated in many 5ks, 7 half marathons (1 during pregnancy and 2 postpartum), 1 marathon, and several other distance races. Running is my therapy.

I am a wife of 3 years (together for 8 years last week!) and a mom of a wonderful 14 month old. I love my husband and child with all my heart and cannot imagine my life without them.
