Let the madness begin August 31, 2008

Hey Everyone….

Bill and I finally have started getting things in gear and are looking at wedding sites. It’s tough!!!! Trying to find the time to spend driving to these places and even knowing where to go takes so much effort, especially since Bill is at the hospital the majority of the time. I know it will be even harder since we have a specific date since his schedule is not so flexible. I don’t think he quite gets the concept that our family is BIG just yet. So Pray for us!

Residency life at Stanford is not as hard as UCSD since I don’t have to deal with all the extraneous stuff and can just focus on critical care. But I am learning alot, it was an adjustment coming from another institution though and learning what they do here. Other than that not much else is new. Bill got me a kitten we named Thrasher (I tried uploading a pic but not sure if it actually got done), there are days where he lives up to his name. It’s nice having another living creature around here. Anyways, that’s all for now. Will keep you updated on everything!

Dim Sum in Nashville August 23, 2008

Ok Gin Cousins–

Dim Sum has arrived in Nashville…we went to try it our last week. It’s really a Chinese Buffet but there’s an area off to the side which serves Dim Sum.  I didn’t have a lot of expectations but almost everything was over cooked.  They had the regular food items…but no “white stuff.”  The item that tasted the best to be was the Lo Bok Go.  Well, since it’s new here, I think it will take some time to improve.  The chef is from Hong Kong and there’s only one of him!!!!! Maybe I should give them a pointer or two. So, count your blessings over there in MPK. We are now determined to make our own Dim Sum… One more thing, I have been giving talks about China and about our family heritage at work and a 1st grade student asked me,” Is there bubble gum in China?” and another student asked, “Can I ride my bike to China?”

Yay, A Dodger Game August 21, 2008

I was tricked a few months back into watching a Dodger Game. Spencer promised me  all the cupcakes in the world and great seats. The cupcakes were sold out but we had great seats. So great that you can see the tightness of the player’s pants!=)

Okay I will be the first!!! August 19, 2008

Hello Cousins all over the world. So nursing school is kicking my butt. I had a great summer and wish it would never end. Hmmm…something funny that happened over the summer. I hope it is just as funny as it is written. Okay here is the story.

So kels and I went to NY for about a week and it was really fun. The only thing we didn’t know was that they have pockets of down pouring rain.  Anyways, we went to the NY aquarium and decided to watch the Sea lion shows which is outside with stadium seating. We were sitting at the top and half through the show it started to rain. Most of the people sitting in the stands were starting to leave because of the rain. Luckily kels had her umbrella which is kind of big. So we popped it open and all of a sudden we had people getting closer to us. Before we knew it, we had a WHOLE family underneath the umbrella with us. Just imagine, kels and I are holding the umbrella, then there is the dad on my left side, the mom is on kels right side, a daughter in the middle of kels and I, another daughter in front of kels, plus a couple in front of me. By the time the show had ended, we were the only group still in the stands watching at the top of the stadium. AHahahahah….what an adventure.

Hey y’all-I already went back to work!  School here started 2 weeks ago and I am in full gear…This summer went by quickly.  Jeff and I went to Chicago and it was a lot of fun-used public transportation the whole time!  If you haven’t been to Chi-town, you HAVE to go. Also, Jeff started Vanderbilt…yes he is a student again.  So, now he has to study just like most of you…I have also been watching the Olympics like crazy…I can’t stay awake to watch it late night!!!
