Ch-Ch-Changes!

Lots has been going on at our house! We haven't had a night in about 3 weeks that we aren't running around until about 9pm and our weekends have either been packed with weddings, parties, or we've been out of town. The house has become quite the disaster zone and I'm looking forward to having a weekend to finally get organized. To say last month was a whirlwind would be an understatement.

The month also brought a great deal of changes at our house as well! I made the decision to leave my position at Planned Parenthood. Leaving Planned Parenthood is definitely bittersweet. It's an organization I strongly support and I'm proud of all we've accomplished in my four years! I know that even though I'm leaving my position, I will continue to stay involved in some capacity.

On Tuesday I will begin a new job at a wonderful foundation, Abbey's HOPE.



Abbey's HOPE is an amazing organization founded in honor of Abbey Taylor. In 2007, six-year old Abbey became entrapped by the drain in a wading pool.  After nine months of hospitalization and surgeries including a multiple organ transplant, Abbey passed away. Abbey's hope was that what happened to her would never happen to another child. In her name, Abbey's Hope Charitable Foundation works fiercely and passionately to safeguard kids, both in and out of the pool, against preventable harm.
 

I'm truly honored to become part of this incredible organization and look forward to starting my new role!
