So this is my first blog and I normally don’t do well with writing blogs and such but I thought that I would try something different because a lot of things around me and within me are changing lately so why not try something new. 

So a little about myself…. I am currently in Graduate school for my Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Univeristy at Buffalo.  I live in Lockport, NY currently with my parents to save some money.  My life is a little hectic right now and sometimes it is hard to keep going but I have to just keep pushing forward.  I graduated from Canisius College in May of 2006 and I spent the last year before I started graduate school in New York City running an after school program from 25 children in the South Bronx and it was the best year of my life.  Transitioning back to life in Lockport sure was interesting and difficult but I am getting back into the swing of things.

I have recently started going to Thursday’s at Northgate thanks to Jamie and I have met some amazing people.  I have gone to church my whole life and was raised Catholic and still am, but sometimes I feel like I need a little more than what the typical Sunday mass has to offer so I have been exploring things more the past 2 or 3 years trying to see exactly what Jesus means to me and not just means to the church and it has been a great journey that will continue for quite a while I am sure. 

Anywhooo— thats really all I have to say for now…
