Oh my goodness Hello!
Let me begin by introducing myself to you, I'm Sarah =)
Where do I go from there?!  Well, after reading a handful of blogs for about a year I've finally decided to start my own.  Let me tell you, girlfriend is scared as all heck.  I've never worked up enough courage to actually comment on any of these blogs or tell any of these wonderful ladies how much I lovelovelove reading their stories and how inspiring they all are to me, BUT!  I've decided now is the time, to step up, create my own little blog, and give myself a name (instead of being the shady anonymous poster)!
A little bit about me, I'm a social work student (1 year left hoorraah!), and absolutely love everything about what I'm doing.  From the moment I started in this field I knew my place would be with addictions and I recently just finished my practicum at a drug and alcohol treatment centre.  Never before have I ever felt so welcome, and never before have I connected more with a group of people than I did there.  It was an amazing two and a half months and the people I met there will always hold a special place in my heart as my "first" clients.  This will probably be a pretty common topic of discussion, I sometimes can't help myself and often find that I go off about how wonderful my clients are and how lucky I am to be doing what I'm doing.

I'm currently Momma to 3 fur babies, 1 in particular, my 2 1/2 year old Chocolate Lab Dozer.  Yes he is like my child, yes he looks for me when someone asks "Wheres Momma!?" and yes his adventures will definitely be documented here.  He gets into a lot of trouble and I wont even begin to pretend I have him under control.  Hey now, I'm a good momma, not a good pet owner!  I have a hard time disiplining him, scolding him and overall staying mad at him...I boot him outside after hes eaten half a cake for my own mommas birthday (this may or may not have happened a week ago..) and within oohh...46 seconds I'm outside sitting on the deck explaining to my dog that even though he'll be throwing up said cake later that even, and more likely than not in my bedroom, momma still loves his big butt.  Ok, call me crazy.  Dozers counterparts (and the other children) are likely to make an appearance aswell, so if I go off on a tangent about Jake, my grumpy old man or Eeugene, the yappy little number, you'll all understand. 
   
Not much else to say, I love to bake and decorate cakes and cupcakes to make a little extra money, I am having a serious love affair with my hot gluegun (is there anything it can't do!?) and I lovelovelove to craft/create, I drink enough Starbucks to become my own addictions counselor, and I can't help but refer to Johnny Depp as my husband =)

Alright thats enough babble for one girl!
