Ranger Rick: Bird Advocate

I have not posted for a few months because we moved, and had to disconnect our old internet. Then it was a task to get the internet set up at our new house- but finally I am re-connected to the digital world and ready to catch up. Expect posts to catch up on the last few months:

• buying our first house and moving- what an adventure!
• Our one year anniversary in June- time flies when you're having fun :)
• My birthday- I'm one quarter of a century old. Ouch.
• Finishing the hardest school year yet and job searching for a better fit.
