BAD NEWS : Their original vacation was unexpectedly cut short because he needed to attend some extra training prior to deployment. GOOD NEWS : He weekend time to spare. GREAT NEWS : She had some Southwest credit to spend on a flight. BEST NEWS : They made their own unexpected change of plans and are…

He is working a lot. She is working a lot. Everything she can think of to say really gets summed up by the first two sentences. But this set of pictures made her smile so big. And three cheers for new glasses!

In February, they flew to Las Vegas to celebrate her 26th birthday. It was their first time visiting the city together. She showed him how blackjack is so much better when you yell in excitment. And how fun it is to shout, "PAINT THAT ACE!!" He showed her how to play craps. And now she…

She can't believe this is the only photo of the two of them from January. Especially considering how much free time they had this month. He was on an "easy" rotation & she matched his schedule. Highlights include : wine tasting, football watching, Disneyland and a massive quilting project. Lowpoints include : when she went…

They got their Christmas cards out this month with way too much fanfare. She realized early in the month that newly-married couples are quick to get cute holiday cards mailed out.

November is better. For both of them. He's doing another medicine rotation this month. And while he can't see a difference, she totally can.

I finally got started on a physical journal to hold my monthly "she & he" musings and photos. It's laughably simple and that is completely the point. I wanted an album that I can update a few times a year forever and ever. And by forever and ever, I really hope I am right. 95%…

Today marks four months of marriage for she and he. It seems like the wedding was just yesterday. (She's still thrilled that the wedding planning is over.) (They worry they are becoming people who can't figure out where the time has gone.) She just finished reading No Impact Man. Which means he just finished listening…

They made it through his first rotation. Lots of long days. And a bunch of over night calls. She realized that on the nights he's on call, "dinner" is peanut butter on a spoon and some cereal. No good. He's enjoying being a doctor though. The patient interaction is interesting & challenging. The monitoring two…
