June 2009

Time sure does zoom by. I don't know if that is a characteristic of residency or getting older.

Anyhow, enough whining. The updates... let's see...

Well, the first and most obvious thing to have occurred since the last update was that Kristen and I got married!

After a busy morning getting dressed for the girls and a morning searching for an open gunrange for the boys, we had a lovely ceremony and mass at St.Gerard Majella in Port Jeff Station.

The event went off without a hitch. It was a beautiful spring day in Long Island, after a week of blizzards. There are even some lovely snow piles in some of our wedding pictures.

Here is a picture of everyone... the winner for greatest distance traveled was my cousin Shou-Mei from Taiwan!

The reception was awesome. There was a ridiculous amount of food, plenty of booze, and a whole bunch of maniacs running amok on the dance floor. The way a wedding reception should be.

Here is Uncle George breaking it down as usual.

Kristen and I then immediately flew out that night for Roatan, Honduras where we spent a week of intense vacation. We dove three times daily for a week straight, seeing the most amazing sea creatures. We went on a shark dive, a dolphin swim, two night dives, and logged about 13 other dives as well. We saw a bunch of groupers, starfishes, a sea horse, spotted eagle rays, parrotfish, angel fish, baracuda, reef sharks, and a whole bunch more.

Since then, we have been extremely delinquent in getting out our thank you cards... Be assured that they are on their way soon.

The third year residents are graduation currently, advancing us into our final year of residency. The future is still a bit foggy. I think I want to pursue a teaching position, which would place me at one of a handful of Air Force Family Medicine residency programs. Kristen is still debating wheter she wants to continue on for a fellowship which would entail 3 more years of training.
