Another New Chapter

It was one year ago that my life changed in an instant. Those words I heard still linger in the back of my mind. I can remember the day, the place, the time. You would think that 265 days would make a difference in how you relive that life changing moment, but it doesn't. So many things have happened within the last year that it feels like a whirlwind of events.

I was driving to the lake this weekend and had to ask myself, "Is this all just a horrible dream? When will I wake up and things will be normal again." But it isn't a dream. This is life. There's no point in living in the past. Only utilizing past experiences to become stronger and to make better decisions.

I have always believed that things happen in life for a reason. The people you meet, the jobs you have. Together they make the dash between your birth and death date on your tombstone. I left the SO in search for something more fitting to what my degree is in. I began that search a year ago and landed a new job with new responsibilities and opportunities to improve my communication skills along with learning new tasks. It was a privilege to work for Medi-Sota and Rural Health Alliance and I am so grateful for the experiences I've had with them.

However, I am excited to start another new chapter with a new job, new house, and a new lease on life. New rules to live by and on my own.

In a previous post I talked about closing windows and opening doors. This is one of those moments of closing one door and opening another door and window. So far the view is pretty great.

I hope you continue to follow me on my journey of Lasting Impressions.

Quick and Easy Appetizers

 Last Sunday was a bitter cold one with lots of football on TV. I'm a sucker for a day filled with snacking! Give me a table full of appetizers and I'll set. This was how I was brought up. At holiday gatherings we always had a table FULL of little snacks. Most of the time we were all filled up on apps before dinner was served. It was one of those days on Sunday with the final championship games on TV. I wanted to make it a special day but did not want to be bent over the stove all day cooking. Hmmmm....I looked in the fridge and saw asparagus that needed to be used. I remembered I had a package of bacon in the freezer too. Perfect! Bacon wrapped asparagus. It turned out amazing. 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees 2. Cut the ends off the asparagus 3. Lightly coat the asparagus with olive oil (I put mine in a bag and then drizzled the olive oil and mixed it up. 4. Sprinkle asparagus spears with freshly ground pepper. 5. Divide the amount of asparagus spears in 4. Wrap a bun...

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...
