Hey you,

I feel like I have been MIA, but work has been nuts and we've been sustaining on bread and cheese for about two weeks.  But as we head into the holiday season, I am realizing how important it is to try and slow down and take stock of each day.  Plus, Tygh's birthday was this weekend so I had the perfect excuse to do nothing but eat.

Tygh and I have never been a huge “tradition” couple.  This isn’t to say we don’t like traditions – we do.  But after ten years of training, where one of us was always on-call or at the hospital for nearly every holiday and/or birthday, we’ve learned to make our tradition one of flexibility.  In fact, one of my favorite Thanksgiving memories was coming home after an 8a-10p shift and sharing store-bought lasagne and cheap wine.
