Two Years Later

Loading ...

Exactly two years ago, I was recovering from my MPH and MA graduations. I was putting the final touches on my master’s project in preparation for my defense. I was packing for what would be an epic trip to Greece and Turkey with three other (almost) newly minted MPHs. I was maybe almost sort of kind of mentally preparing for the next chapter of my life.

MPH Graduation, 2010

Celebrating with the ‘rents after getting MPH’ed in 2010.

And then I blinked, and it was two years later. Since I graced the stage of Northrup Auditorium in my lovely salmon pink hood (not the best look for a redhead, I admit), I’ve gained:

1 new agency and 2 new jobs… (with a 3rd on the way!)

Hazmat Kate

Suiting up at CDC.

1 new city…

Atlanta Sunset

Sunset over Atlanta.

1 new husband…

Wedded Bliss

First–or maybe last–dance at our surprise tacky wedding party (yes, really).

At least a few friends…

Cafe 458 Waitstaff

Volunteer table-waiting at a local cafe that operates as a soup kitchen during the week and a public brunch spot on weekends, donating proceeds to help homeless men and women achieve self-sufficiency.

And a lesson or two about work and life and love and all that good stuff. I’ll be back soon to share more!
