Moving on...















First, I apologize for my ridiculously long absence. To summarize the last 5 months of my life...










Corey and I were married October 11th.





Finished up the last section of the national boards and I'm left until Dec 26th to find out the results.
Finished up clinic the last week in November.





Packed all of our belongings (after I gave the majority of my wardrobe and random belongings to Goodwill) plus myself, Corey, two dogs (one 90lb dane mix and one 55lb husky mix) plus a ferret in cage in our hand-me-down 96' minivan and left Seneca Falls.





Went to my in-laws in St. Lawrence county of the actual upstate NY for Thanksgiving.





Graduated Dec. 6th.





Spent more time at the in-laws.





Arrived in Ohio yesterday where we will stay until just after Christmas.





From there....Asheville, NC!










I also have the idea of saving this blogspot for my personal rantings and am mentally in the process of contemplating starting a new blog to update you on family events. Now that I am a married woman and all. haha





If there are any followers of this blog still around look for additional updates and the new blog by the first of the year.





In the meantime above you will find a few wedding photos and a couple from Seneca Falls. One is of the trail which Corey and I walked many times from our place on Lower Lake Rd up to take the tunnel under the Rt 89 to school and/or clinic. The other is the view we had across the street of Lake Cayuga. I can't take credit for that photo either as I stole it from my neighbor Julie's facebook page. Thankfully someone remembered to take some great photos of the beautiful place I called home for just over 3 years.


Oh and I almost forgot...
Here is something I took from one of the blogs I like to visit www.modernforager.com
Here are ten things to remember as you embark on your health journey.
1. Junk food doesn’t exist; there is junk and there is food.
2. Similarly, real food has no nutrition label. Food products have nutrition labels.
3. If a label tells you how healthful the product inside is, it’s probably not. Don’t be deceived by marketing.
4. Sugar is detrimental to your body in more ways than you can count.
5. Organic/natural junk is still junk. Thirty grams of sugar from honey is not more healthful than 30g of sugar from other sources.
6. If you are wondering if you should eat more vegetables, the answer is yes. I don’t care how many you eat, you should probably eat more.
7. Similarly, you should probably sleep more. Turn off the TV and go to bed. Given the quality of most TV programming, you aren’t going to miss anything of importance.
8. Don’t let “I can’t afford organic” keep you from eating enough produce. Organic vegetables are best. However, eating conventional is better than not eating produce at all.
9. You’re human and you will eat something too sugary and too carby. Don’t stress; just get back on the wagon.
10. And finally: health is a lifelong journey, not a quick-fix. Find something you can stick with.
Anybody have any to add?

Happy Holiday!
