I have not even had a chance to post about our great trip to Portland. My parents kept the kids (thank you!) to let Matt and I have a few days away. I went to a great Internal Medicine conference run by the faculty where I trained all day on Thursday and Friday, but we were able to squeeze in some dinners with friends along the way. I have hardly any pictures because I just wasn't motivated. It rained the whole time we were there and it was really COLD. But I still think that is such a beautiful part of the country and I am so glad we got to experience it for three years. We drove by our old house and went to my favorite Indian restaurant while we were there. Plus, it was fun to just spend some quality time with my favorite person, Matt.
My sweet friend, Megan. She and I have re-connected over e-mail. We are in the same life stage (she has 3 kids, too) and we e-mail each other several times a week. She lives in a suburb of PDX in a beautiful house. Megs, I wish you could come help me decorate!
This is Dr. Patterson. I love him so much. We spent a month in Africa together during my residency. He is a semi-retired Pulmonologist and is brilliant.
This is Janan. We were residents together and now she works as a hospitalist at PPMC.
This is Michelle. She was my mentor during residency and we have stayed in touch since then. I always love talking with her about work/life/kids balance.
