Spilling the beans and spreading the news
Telling people you are pregnant is a really interesting exercise in tactical maneuvering. It’s nothing like engagement. Oh no my friends, some people get offended. Or at least in your hightened hormonal state you are paranoid that everyone will get offended. We opted for the slow boat approach. David found out when I came out … Continue reading
12 weeks of hell
Nobody warns you about what happens to you body with a baby. OK, maybe they do but there is no way I was prepared for it. For those who are weak in the stomach, or have any sense of propriety at all, you might want to skip over this post. How can I paint this … 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
When life gives you lemons
To say this has been a crazy week would be a slight understatement. It’s been full of experiences, but let me share one of my favorites. It starts on a dark and stormy morning as the clock strikes 4:45 a.m. David was on his way into the hospital, and just 500 yards before reaching his … Continue reading
A perfect morning
It’s 6 a.m. I’m sitting at my desk with a cup of hot apple cider while a chilly rain sprinkles outside, reading my dear friend Sayeh’s beautiful stories about growing up in revolutionary Iran. Life is pretty darn good.
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
Mr. and Mrs. Mud
With storm clouds looking like they were going to burst, Dave and I walked onto Glen Helen Raceway as muddy and shivering crowds walked off after finishing their earlier waves. Oh boy, this was going to be interesting. On a whim (and an Amazon Local Deal) Dave and I had decided to do the Mud … Continue reading
Fall leaves and fun times
Over the long Veterans Day weekend, we wanted a little adventure. There were so many options. Disneyland, Knots Berry Farm, Hollywood, all in our backyard. Although these things are still on our list, we are both cheap and love the outdoors. So wandering around the stunning Lake Arrowhead was the perfect fit. It was my … Continue reading
The life of a surgeon
David’s internal medicine rotation is officially over and we are moving on to surgery –– a whole new specialty with a whole new schedule. The ability to experiment with different schedules has been nice for me, helping me understand what a surgery residency would be like for our family versus an internal med residency versus … Continue reading
