My End-Of-The-Year Bucket List

With only two months left this year, I thought I’d write down a few things I’d like to get done before we welcome in 2014!

2013 has been an amazing year! Paul and I have grown closer in our marriage, we celebrated birthdays, spent time in Lake Tahoe, spent some quality time with our families, explored San Francisco, and have started our own little family. I look forward to the next couple months and hope to check everything off my bucket list!

What do you hope to do before this year is done?

Life Lately

Happy Sunday everyone! The past two weekends have been really great. Lately, clinic has been especially stressful and I have needed the weekends to reboot and recharge. I absolutely love working with patients and doing dental work, but sometimes certain patients are harder to work with than others and it can be exhausting and emotionally taxing. 

On the brighter side of things, I am grateful that I am beginning to feel like myself again! My first trimester was terribly rough. Between throwing up, extreme nausea, and having no appetite, I lost quite a few pounds and I constantly felt just plain blah. Now, I am almost 16 weeks along {on Tuesday by my estimates} - that’s 4 whole months pregnant! I have more energy and a definite increase in appetite, especially for my favorite foods, yay! 

Last weekend, my dad came out to visit us for his birthday. We got to spend some good quality time together doing what we love most - talking and eating. 

This weekend Paul and I have been spending some valuable married time together. We ate at this local fish place, walked around some fun San Francisco neighborhoods, and grabbed some late night Starbucks. 

I am one lucky lady. 

Running For Two

Surprise! I’m expecting!

I have been wanting to post the big news on my little blog for a while now but I wanted to wait until I was far enough along. This weekend was the Nike Women’s Marathon and Half Marathon in San Francisco and it was incredibly empowering to participate with my little bun in the oven. 

Paul and I are over the moon excited/thrilled/happy/ecstatic! We are praying for a happy and healthy little one and we feel incredibly blessed that our family is growing. 

This was an exciting weekend. My best friend Cassie came up from LA to run the marathon {woo, you rock Cassie}, I ran the half-marathon, and we announced our special news.

Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel.
