Catching Up

Good morning!

I hope this message finds you well. All is well up here in Pittsburgh. I have a few facts to report:

There’s no Place Like Home: Even though I didn’t grow up here, it’s been really good to be near my family, and we’ve settled into a good routine. I’ve forgotten why I’d live away for so long, but I’m sure I’ll remember soon enough… J

Practicing In-house is fabulous! I really enjoy my job and the people I work with. Since I didn’t have a strong health care background it’s been challenging, but I’m receiving great on-the-job training. I’ve learned a lot and made some contributions to the health system. All in all it’s been a great move for me.

Romance: There’re no significant updates in this area, but I remain hopeful! For the record, I am constantly reviewing applications to find the right candidate, if you know anyone who’d like to be considered, let me know.

Hopefully, our paths will cross again sometime soon. Until then, take care and have a great Spring!
