I Love My Coffee

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it.

I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...
