This week brought on the kind of excitement that grays hair. To start, on Monday morning, I left my apartment in a state of mild disarray: unmade bed, clothes scattered across the floor, sink full of dishes, and cluttered counter. However, when I came back from work and CrossFit that evening, I came home to…

4/13- Sweat and Seal Shenanigans
How am I already a third of the way through my time in San Francisco? I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone! This fact has hardened my resolve all the more to make a dent in the stack of books that I brought with me. I did some reading while in DC, but…
3/13- Nostalgia and My Car Curse
Tuesday had the best weather since my coming to San Francisco. Before then, the days were steadily in the mid-50s with an unceasing wind. But that day, the high was 66 degrees and nothing above a caressing breeze was to be felt. Such weather just begs to be adventured in, don’t you think? Ever since…
2/13- Practically Purr-fect in Every Way
This week has been a great one! Workwise, the transition from learning the ropes to working independently has been smooth-sailing! When I started here, I began by shadowing the other sonographers in the department. This past week was moving from scanning patients with them in the room to being left to my own devices! It…
1/13- White-Knuckle Courage
My first week in San Francisco has come and gone! After being in Washington DC for five months, I have to remind myself that my time is San Francisco is going to be half of that. This time will go quickly, so I am urged to make the most of it. First week in, I’m…
23/23- So Long, Farewell…
“Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight til it be morrow.” ~Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare This week has been a week of goodbyes. A week of lasts. A week of hugs that lingered and meaningful looks that meant a little extra. On Tuesday night, we had an early Galentine’s celebration. We…
22/23- U is for You and Me
Three quite extraordinary things happened this week. Firstly, on Tuesday, I ate dinner with Kristen and another friend, Nicolette, at Gallaudet. While being surrounded by the deaf community is always something special to me, this night was all the more. Two students sat at our table, one known to Kristen named Alex and the other…
21/23- I Know Where I’m Going Next!
But first, let me tell you about my week! MLK Day was Monday and my department was closed, so I was off! I spent the day by getting lunch with some friends at Ireland’s Four Courts, where I experienced my first traditional Irish breakfast! A majority of the platter was stuff I had never even…
20/23- F is for Friends Who Do Stuff Together
Been wondering where my supposed weekly updates have gone? I promise, I’m here and doing things! In fact, since my mom’s visit to DC, I feel like I have been quite the busy bee! I hosted my little sister, traveled home to Ohio for Christmas, hosted one of my best friends (who I shall tell…
16/23- There Ain’t Nothin’ Like Mom
I got the sweet pleasure of hosting my mom in DC for a few days this week. As I’ve grown, I have appreciated more and more about my mom. She’s Godly, wise, capable, hospitable, generous, and so much more. God has used her, not only to speak truth into my life on countless occasions, but…
