Thanksgiving 2013
We left for Utah after David finished at the hospital, getting on the road at 5 p.m. What lay ahead was a 10-hour drive with a full car and a fussy baby. The welcome home hugs we got at 4 in the morning (yes, the family stayed up to welcome us) were well worth the … Continue reading
Happy Halloween 2013!
May your day be spooky and bright! Sawyer got to spend his first halloween surrounded by heroes, and you could not find a happier little boy! We ventured out into our neighborhood for an evening of Trick or Treating and exploring the incredible decorations. These people really go all out! Then, it was off to … Continue reading
Our little punkin’
Saturday we wandered around the most amazing Pumpkin patch in Yuciapa, and as you can tell, had entirely too much fun. This place was halloween on steroids. Acres of amusement park-type games, hay rides, magic shows, live music, two corn mazes, a petting zoo, food vendors, bounce houses, go carts, and, of course, acres of … Continue reading
We love America: 2013 Edition
It is so wonderful being in the United States for the Fourth of July! This year, I had more than my freedom to be thankful for. We were able to spend a little time with David’s family, barbecue with a few great SGU friends and to top it off, Redlands puts on an amazing show. … Continue reading
The Quietest Mothers Day Of Them All
I didn’t hear the pitter patter of little feet this mothers day – although I sure felt them bouncing on my bladder! It was a sweet experience to take a day and reflect on what it means to be a mother, while the screaming baby beast is still contained in-utero. David has been my greatest … Continue reading
Three years later …
May 7th marked three years together. In that time we have lived in three different countries, four different apartments (plus many stints with family in between) and grown closer as a couple. Being married to a medical student can be a roller coaster. But I am glad that I get to take that ride with … Continue reading
A Christmas Surprise
Santa sure had a few surprises in store this year. And by Santa, I mean Sarah and Dave. We had been hiding a little secret since just after Thanksgiving and thought that Christmas would be the perfect time to pop the news to family. There was a little gift on the way that would turn … Continue reading
The Christmas Card that almost was
Last year I tried taking a stab at designing our own Christmas cards in InDesign. Not being able to see a proof before because we were out of the country, I was a little disappointed in how the one we sent turned out. It was up against this little gem, which in hindsight, I kind … Continue reading
Home: It’s where the magic happens
Thanksgiving is over. The turkey has been massacred. The stuffing devoured. The Christmas decorations hung. And the tryptophan hangovers are slowly subsiding. Now we get to look back on the memories, and oh how thankful I am for them. We were able to drive the 8 hours up to Reno to spend Thanksgiving with my family. … Continue reading
Happy Halloween
Inside the walls of Glenn Mannor this Halloween, the spectre of final examinations loomed large as David’s Internal Medicine rotation gasped its final breaths. As the clock strikes one on Friday, he will face a line of scientists in their white coats for his oral exams. Then, after a week of penance in the hospital library, he battles … Continue reading
