Welcome! This is the chronicles of The 12 Year Plan, so named because of our family decision to pursue our dreams and build a better life for ourselves. My husband quit a good-paying job and we moved cross-country with our infant daughter so he could go back to school while I returned to work full-time (Years 1, 2, 3). Then, we moved to Iowa for the first 2 years of Medical School (Years 4 & 5) and had a son! He finished Med School in Michigan (Years 6 & 7), and GRADUATED in 2011! We're now in Ohio for Residency (this will be Years 8-11). Year 12 will be his first year as an Attending Physician - and who knows where that will be?!
I'm recording the journey of this long and winding road along with the growth of our family and day-to-day life in the Midwest.
Want to get to know me? I like lemon cupcakes, reading books, red nailpolish, eBay, boots, cooking but not cleaning, to-do lists, salt water pools, Kate Spade purses, mint chocolate chip ice cream, king-size down pillows, medium-rare steak, spicy mayo, jeans, curtains, brushed nickel, my Nikon D80, Target, and travelling.
I dislike mustard, doing dishes, pickles, cruelty to animals, the color green, dry lips, the smell of fish, brown rice, birds, and being hot (the temperature, not the state of being).
