About me...

Hello everyone...I just wanted to tell you all a little about me...I am 32 years old and I live in Jamestown, Ohio. My hometown is Washington Court House, Ohio, which is only 15 to 20 min from Jamestown. I live on an 80 acre farm and my house sits in the middle of a field back a 3/4 mile long driveway. I have 3 children which I only see 3 or 4 days a week because I have shared parenting with my ex-husband. (It is very hard to be away from them...trust me) Cassidy "Cassie" is 12, Hunter is 9 and Caylin is 6. I am re-married and I know have a step-son, Michael, who is 10. My husband is a farmer and owns his own welding business. And together we have no children, except for our little mini dachshund, Maggie. I think she is just as spoiled as the kids. I think she believes she is a person.=)
I'm in my 3rd quarter here at Kaplan, but took a few classes at Kaplan's sister school, Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology. Online school is much more convenient for me. Medical Office Management is a big career change for me, but is not unfamiliar. I have worked in the field of agriculture for over 10 years. I have worked for a couple local grain elevators buying and selling grain. Although I love working in agriculture, I am ready for a change. My mom is an RN with a Masters degree. She currently works as the Director of Business Health at a local hospital. She has worked in ER to director of surgery and OB to Assistant director of nursing. So needless to say she has had somewhat of an influence on my career change...=)
I am looking foward to having class with all of you...and wish you all the best of luck...

Setting up my blog site...

I really like the blogging idea in this class...I think it will give us a chance to really express ourselves. Excellent idea...=)
