Hello...

Good Morning!
Well, today is my big 2-8! I'm actually pretty excited. This is the first year since I've graduated from OSU that I feel accomplished and feel like I'm on the right track. I finished my last day of clinic work (for the summer that is) yesterday and it feels so good not to be at the TU clinic anymore, even if it is just for a few weeks. I only have one more semester of class work left and then I'm off to my externship before I graduate. Time has gone by so quickly.

This has been a good week. I got to visit with my friend Rachael and her husband Robert on Sunday. I haven't seen either one of them in a few years. I think the last time I saw Rachael was at my wedding in 2003. It was so nice to see them. They are really a lot of fun to be around. Hopefully I can be better at keeping in touch this time around.

Besides my birthday celebration dinner tonight, I am going to meet up with some old/lost friends from high school at our 10 yr reunion. I know in my first post I said that I wasn't sure if I was going to go or not, but I actually am pumped about it. I've talked with a few people that I haven't talked to in years (do you see a trend?) and we are all going to meet up. The festivities take up the whole weekend beginning tonight with a mixer, picnic/school tour tomorrow and a "business casual" party tomorrow night at the Renaissance hotel. I'll give you an update after I attend!

Well, I need to go to the gym and then to find some cute shoes for my dress I am planning on wearing tonight. Wouldn't it be nice to have a personal shopper?

TTFN!

Oh, here is a very simple and easy recipe. It's my mom's recipe for Peach Salsa. Yum !

5 medium peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 tbsp finely chopped mint
1 tsp fresh, seeded, minced jalepeno
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/8 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
