Catherine's Story
Life
As of August 1st I have moved to MN (metro area) due to my sister's terminal cancer. She has a 3y/o and a 7y/o and she can use all the help she can get! I am so happy to be back in MN and feel very fortunate that it was feasible to move my family back to the area with such short notice.
To make a long story short, I finished up my last year of HS in Illinois, went away to college, survived college with a few near misses. I met my husband, Pete, in my last year of college, I think that was in 89. It's a little foggy. We have 2 children, a boy and a girl, Kevin Matthew and Emmi Nichole, and a huge Golden Retriever, Darby, who was supposed to weigh 70# max. She exceeded that by her seventh month! Our house is not huge, so we didn't think we could accomodate a 90#, drooling, shedding, affectionate canine. I have had to alter my threshold as to what "too dirt...Expand for more
y" and what is just the "lived in" look.
In 1997, I finished my Master's Degree in Nursing, and work as Certified Nurse Midwife. I work with 3 OB/GYN's. We perform hospital births, as my malpractice providers frown upon home births. Something about liability...go figure.
When I'm not at the hospital, I am usually sitting on bleachers watching my kids in the activity du jour, or I am trying to tame the beast we call our dog!
When we have spare time we like to bike ride near the lake or river near our house, and spend time hanging out with our families.
Hope everyone reading this is happy, healthy, and is still game for a good night of fun!
I'd love to hear from you...email if you get a chance.
