No Regrets, Just a lot of Learning

About Me

Umm , where do I begin?....I moved from Walnut, California (Small Nuts) to the OC (Yorba Linda) then to Denver (and, trust me, a lot has happened in between....if you wanna know, just ask). I bought a house 4 years ago in Denver, CO. I miss Cali a lot, so I try to visit at least once a year (and try to stay out of trouble). My family is my saving grace - without them, I'd be lost. My brother was an Army Ranger for 6 years, then he got out of the Army for about 8 months, then recently he decided to go back - HE LOVES IT!!! I miss him, but we talk a lot. I believe that what goes around, comes around; I've seen it and experienced it a million times over. I like people who have a sense of humor. I love to laugh until I cry. I think all people have their own funny quirks and I like to "people watch". I love the sun and snow; I really miss the BEACH though. I am a Certified Veterinary Technician. Its all I know....I've been doing it for 10 years now. I have most of my experience in Emergency and Critical Care yet I recently changed positions to Supervisor of the Surgery Dept at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital (yes, the one on Animal Planet). I like it, so far.....To keep things exciting, I continue to do ER and Critical Care at a referral center for animals. Its an awesome facility that houses 8 specialty practices (Neurology, Cardiology, Ophthamology, Surgery, Dermatology, Oncology, Internal Medicine, and Emergency). Though my job can be really sad at times - I LOVE IT!! The people I work with are the BEST - they always keep me on my toes and laughing - I love them!! As for my "children", I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and a crazy ferret (he's actually Jason's, but I love him). Most of my time is spent working and sleeping but when I'm not doing those things, I like to hang out with my dogs and Jason and I like to go out with friends. I love going to concerts/shows, any sporting event (especially when I get the suite tickets), dancing, snowboarding, hiking, camping, downtown - anywhere that I can have fun. I also love going to the races - any kind of race: NASCAR, Sprints, Stocks, Midgets, Indy, Trucks, Bikes....Myspace Graphics
