A little bit about me

My name is Rebecca Marie Hoffman, but I go by Becky. Rebecca always seemed too serious to me growing up but now I really do think it is a pretty name and I love it but everyone is used to calling me Becky. My parents have been married for something like 38 years. I am the youngest of 4 children, there are two boys and two girls. All my siblings are married and have children. I have 5 nieces and nephews and I find having these little kids in my life is very much fun and entertaining. I love it!

I've gone to Eastern Michigan University since 1999 and yes I am still working on my BA but I truly believe I will graduate one day. I went full time for about 3 years and then I decided I wanted to take a break one semester, I had just turned 21, that actually lasted about 2 years. I started working full time and have worked for the same company since although in many different jobs. I was on assignment to Ford Motor Company for about 3 years. And that is where I met my boyfriend, Drew, and we have been together for a little over 2 years. I have been back for a little more than a year direct with my company.

Today was pretty much a typical day. I went to work, we were pretty busy. I had a staff meeting which went by pretty quick. Now I am home and I plan to relax a little and make dinner.

I'll just mention briefly this about Drew because I plan on making this a topic of my blog but one thing that should be known because it is a HUGE part of our life right now is that Drew has cancer and is actually doing a clinical trial right now at U of M. So the most important thing that happened today was that it was a trial day. He texted me to let me know that the doctors said they are happy with his progress, which is awesome but he is still feeling really sick.

But I will get into his story a little more on a different day and I am definitely going to keep some things private but I think blogging a little bit about this will bring awareness to a lot of people.
