I am a new mommy with a mechanical engineering day-job. I have a loving husband, who is also a mechanical engineer. He's practical, I'm analytical, so it works. We have 2 slightly needy, occasionally obnoxious, and totally spoiled cats, Sam and Brady, who spend their leisure time taunting our slightly stubborn, occasionally obedient and totally spoiled dog, Cinder. Our lives these days are full of loving our new baby Brooke. Sometimes we squeeze in car projects, yard projects, MBA classes, working, and occasionally relaxing.
