enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

to sum up, just a tad :

 + Paul will be doing his internship (first year of being a real doctor) with the transitional program at the Naval Medical Center, San Diego in Balboa.

 + We will be leaving MD at the end of March and then will relocate to
San Diego at the middle of May, after the wedding and Paul's graduation.

 + Neither of us have lived in San Diego (except for a fabulous one-month stint I did with a friend during college) but we are both from Sacramento, California so we are considering this a trip home.

 + This is a one year for sure move – which is as good as it gets in the military.

 + I fully intend on making some sort of "We've Moved!" postcards out of the graphic below.

Again – thank you! We are excited to have a plan, and even more excited that this plan is taking us somewhere new. I have LOVED my experience on the east coast, which is great, as I am sure P's military career will take us back here at some point.

    I spent 5 years of my life in San Diego. An absolutely lovely place to live. I will be very, very jealous.

    That’s so great! I’m hoping my husband and I will have the same thing after this deployment (getting stationed in our home state for a while). It will be so nice to just call my mom up and meet her for breakfast.
    Good luck!

    Congrats! What did he match in? my husband is a 3rd year medical student, I can’t wait for next next March. I know it is a little different for us not being in the military but still just as exciting!

    I have never lived in San Diego and only visited, but my sources say that it is one of the top ten, if not THE, best places to live in the country. Enjoy!

    Congratulations! (I was secretly hoping for Tripler) as if you could move here and hang with me, and I say that in the most sincere non scary stalker way.
