I am still in Boise, ID and continue to work as a Social Worker at the Cancer Care Center at Saint Alphonsus. I am teaching a Social Welfare class at Boise State University this semester as an Adjunct faculty member. This is a first for me and is exciting & scary (94 students, wow - and how about that Bronco football team!)
I have a relatively new & wonderful love in my life - I met Sharene Gossen on my first blind date ever, back in November 2009 after living about a year as a single girl after Dana and I split up. Sharene is wonderful - and I am hopeful & confident this is the relationship that will last. She is a Physician's Assistant working in Endocrinology. She and her lovely dog have moved into my house - so we are a 2 person/2 dog family these days. We just spent a few weeks in Sharene's home state of Minnesota (Brrr!) on the farm where she grew up. I bravely tasted squirrel (yes, squirrel - cooked in a crockpot) - and also ventured into the pig barn for a very smelly tour.
2010 was a great year that included 2 trips to UT (One to Bryce & Zion, another to Lake Powell & Capitol Reef), and good times with friends and family.
Special thanks to Shannon for keeping everyone in touch and for organizing the annual updates. It's pretty remarkable, really - we were all at 27 Palace Court many moons ago - and I'm impressed by how well everyone has stayed in touch. It has been fun to read the updates on the blog. My how time flies, lives change, and families expand!
Much love to everyone!!
