Well...I thought I'd give you a little bit of background! (leave it to the man to just leave out the details!!)
Justin and I are currently living in Monterey, CA (about 1 1/2 hours south of San Francisco). We were stationed here 1 year ago...the Marine Corp sent Justin back to school to get his Masters! He is attending the Naval Post Graduate School (NPS), and then will go to the Defense Language Institute (DLI) to learn French! When he's done (around March 2010), he will have a grad degree in National Security Affairs, with a specialty in Sub-Saharan Africa!! After school...its off to Africa for 1 year!!!
A couple of months after moving to Monterey from Orange County, I took a new position with 3M Medical. I worked for 3M for the past 4 years selling medical supplies into Veterinary Distributors. Now, I am a sales rep for the Skin & Wound Division, selling medical supplies through distributors into Long Term Care, Home Care, Wound Care, Surgery Centers, etc. I really enjoy my work! My territory covers the southwest...so I'm on the road almost every week. This has worked out well while being here, especially since Justin has lots of studying to do!
We don't have any kids yet, but have a 4-legged, furry, bundle of energy of a dog, named Gunner! He is a boxer that I found through a local rescue back in Orange County, and couldn't resist! I brought him home about 2 weeks before Justin returned from his last deployment back in Feb. of 2006. Gunner was about 1 1/2 yrs old then, had no manners, and was very skinny!! He's come a long way...he is now almost 5 yrs old, a solid 70lbs, and is a Certified Therapy Dog!! We visit the local Nursing Homes, and all the residents love him!
