So, here we go...

I'm very new at this, and it is probably something that only I will read...ever.  But, I thought this would be a new way for me to keep track of the blissful chaos that I call my life.  I just went through a major life change...changed jobs, moved my little family across states, and bid farewell to dear friends.  So, why not try something new like write a blog?

I am a lot of things...I am a wife, I am a mother, and I am a physician.  I love everything about all of those things.  I recently just took a job working as an Obstetrician only at the hospital, taking care of emergencies, patients without a doctor, and so on.  It is perfect for spending more time with my darling little guy, Eli.  The only problem is, I miss my patients dearly.  And, by dearly, I mean a lot!  It is kind of weird that when you deliver someone's baby, you form an instant bond with them and their family.  All of the sudden, it feels like you should be sitting at their supper table for Thanksgiving.  I miss that...already.  So, one day, if any of my Arizona patients, friends, and nurses read this...know that I miss you!

So, I moved back to Texas to be closer to family.  My husband and I are both from here, so it made better sense to move back "deep in the heart" so that our child could grow up surrounded by family.  I had only lived in Arizona for less than 4 years, and I never thought it would be so hard to leave it behind.  I finally realized why...all the best things in life happened to me there.  When I arrived in Arizona in the summer of 2009, I was a new physician, a single 30-year old, and a little bit lonely.  And, when I left 1 month ago, I was a physician surrounded by loving patients, a wife, a mother, and filled with blessings too many to count.  Life has gotten good, really good.  And, I can't wait to see what lies ahead!
