I know..I know...

ok, ok so I am a tad bit lame and way over due for my posts. Here is the latest so that I can gain a little sympathy for my really bad and long streak of non-bloggging. (pictures are too come)!

August--Month of Change-

August 9th... TAYLOR'S BIRTHYDAY!!! Yes we are officially in our "late 20's"--- Taylor turned 28 this year. We went to breakfast in Lancaster with some long time friends and totally pigged out on pancakes, waffles...eggs benedict.....bacon and whatever else you can think of when you eat breakfast...if it was there I think we tried it. Then we went to P.F Changs for dinner had ourselves some good old lettuce wraps, kung-pao chicken, some other chicken (can't remember the name) and a huge slice of their famous chocolate cake... yum!!!! (Thanks to Amanda and Pete for babysitting).

August 14th... MOVING DAY! Yup that's right...for those of you who don't know, Taylor is doing 3 away rotations--- 4 weeks at UCI (Irvine, California), 4 weeks at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale AZ, and 4 weeks in SLC at the U of U. Zoe and I are with him and so we are not in Philly right now. Currently we are basking in the Sun in good ol' Cali, but because I am soo sick, we settle for the backyard pool rather then venturing to the beach (which we will be doing shortly). We are here until mid Sept and then we leave to AZ for a month and so on. I will be staying in California for the majority of my time here mainly because it's hard to travel and I need all the help I can get with Zoe. (Nanna is coming in real handy =) and so is Brenan surprisingly)!! We have sub-leased our house so we really can't go back until Janurary of next year. Taylor will be interviewing all the month of December for ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) or aka Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Residency positions. We won't know where we match until March (right when I am due).

August 26th....Zoe turns ONE!!!

So as you can see I have been busy packing my house up for a 6 month adventure on the West Coast, taking care of my "oh so independent little one" and trying to not be too sick. I promise I will be more on top of the blogging and for those of you awaiting your photoshoots... they are coming on will be shipped soon.

Soooo busy! Good luck with all the moving and transitions! It's so nice that you get to be with Taylor, though, the whole time. Hope you stay strong and feel great!

Sounds like you guys are having fun. Hopefully we'll get to see you in September some time.

You are alive!!! I was just in IRvine! I absolutely LOVE it! I am trying to convince Brandon to move there! I was actually looking into jobs at UCI. What is your husband's opinion about that hospital? You will have to tell me!

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well...hopefully that will end soon! Glad you can be by a pool though....there's something about sun and pool that just seems to make life better! Miss you by the way! :(

Kristin said...

Hello Amber! Glad to know you are here and are enjoying family time!

Am I still watching Zoe this weekend??? Are you feeling up to it still???


I am looking forward to it.

Amber, I am so excited to see you guys in Arizona in a few weeks! I have been so homesick and it will seriously make me so happy to see you, Taylor, and Zoe again! I work in Scottsdale and live close to the border of Tempe/Scottsdale so I think we should be really close to each other. CALL ME!

Congrats on the new baby! I love having mine so close together (most of the time). Hope you get feeling better, and good luck with all the rotations! Alyssa Albrechtsen
