Yes, I'm still alive

So I kinda fell off the blogging planet, but then today, on my day off, I was reading some blogs and all of the sudden, I decided, I want to be a blogger! When I asked my Twitter peeps what I should do to become a blogger, my cousin Donna gave me some good advice - WRITE! So here I am! Feel free to share my blog with your friends and family! I'll try to keep you all entertained!

Some fun things have happened over the fast few weeks. 

1. I moved in to a new apartment - literally across the hall from my old one! When I moved in to my last apartment, it was kind of a last minute thing. My old roommate lost her job and got a new one out of state just a few weeks before our lease was up, so I was desperate for an apartment and ended up in a studio. For the first year or so, I was OK with it, then it started to get annoying. I wanted a living room and a bedroom - more than just one big room and a bathroom, so when my landlord called asking if I was staying when my lease was up, I inquired about one bedroom apartments. He told me he had one available right away, so a few days later I looked at it and started moving my stuff in the same day! I had some issues with getting my gas and cable all set up, but now Chip and I are all settled in our new apartment and we love it! 

2. I got in to graduate school!! WOO-HOO!! I applied to Master of Public Health programs at Cleveland State University and Case Western Reserve University in January. I heard back from Cleveland State in the middle of March that I was accepted. I waited until early April to hear back from Case, but then decided Cleveland State was a better fit for me and sent in my acceptance of admission letter so it's official! The Cleveland State program is MUCH more conducive to working a full time job and going to graduate school, as all of the classes I have to take are offered online, on weeknights or on Saturdays. I am super excited and can't wait to start in August! I would start now if I could!!

That's about all that's going on here!! I'll write more as fun stuff happens!!

Peace out!
