This whole growing-up thing sucks...

About Me

Oh where do I start...I am 22, a Colorado native, country music fan, science nerd, sister, daughter, girlfriend, student, and new real-world employee. I enjoy...
** hot tea when the weather is crappy
** 2 cups+ of coffee each morning
** watching my cat Harley jump in boxes or chase flies
** participating in Law & Order marathons
** sleeping with the windows open when it's raining
** driving to Vail just to spend the day walking around pretending like I have the money to live there
I recently graduated from the University of Denver, and then movded to Colorado Springs for my Masters in Forensic science w/ a certificate in Forensic Nursing (yeah...you try saying that mouth full every time someone asks you what you're doing with your life). That program does not start until August, but I am working full time for a company that approves clinical trials. It's nice to have a job right out of college where I can actually utilize part of my degree.
I'm a pretty normal girl for my age, but I am "different" in the fact that I have congenital heart disease (Tetralogy of Fallot) as well as an intestinal defect (Hirschprung's Disease). Both have been corrected but I deal with residual affects almost every day. I was diagnosed with Right Bundle Branch Block, another heart issue, a few years ago but this will not really affect me until later in life. To date, I have had 18 surgeries. To try and reach out to others with TOF I created a MySpace group called TOF Hearts (http://groups.myspace.com/tofhearts). If you want to join, follow that link!!!
That's a summary of me and my life. If you wanna know more, send me a message!
