A woman isn’t supposed to state her age. As I turned 35 this winter, I thought to myself, we are going to accomplish a lot this year. Nick and I purchasing a house, remodeling said house, getting married, maybe finding some ground to run cows on and keep the genomics marketing rolling for Neogen. Maybe even a vacation. Insert hard left. I started to have a pain in my side in September. I thought that’s strange, but it went away and I moved on. Then my seatbelt kept irritating that same Read More

What have you learned during COVID?
I am going to jump into three blog posts that show a lot of myself. I apologize in advice and hold on. I know I am beating a dead horse.
