Friday Favorites: Hello from Under a Pile of Boxes (A Life Update)

Happy Friday, friends! It’s been a crazy week full of moving, but the dust has settled enough that I can share a few updates. Sorry for my lack of answering comments and commenting on blogs. I should be back on a regular schedule after this weekend.

One. 
Christopher started his radiology residency today. (For those who don’t know, July 1 is the official start of the medical new year.) It’s the start of an exciting four-year adventure, and I couldn’t be prouder.

Two. 
The moving on Tuesday went really well. I’m so thankful for my in-laws, who helped Christopher unpack due to my limited mobility. Even though we downsized, they converted our “study” into a closet for Christopher, so we have a ton of storage space!

Three. 
Speaking of moving, we live in such a cute neighborhood! I’m already so eager to explore all the fun shops and restaurants in walking distance. It’s way too hot to walk for long right now, but it will be great in the fall. For now, I’m grateful to utilize all the (free) parking! Check out this mango sticky rice dessert we had on our first full day here. It was seriously so delicious!


Four. 
Many of you have asked me for a health update, but I don’t really have one right now. I have an appointment next Thursday, and I’m praying I will have a surgery date then.

Five. 
Because Christopher’s first few days of residency are orientation (he has already been through several days of hospital-related orientation. Now he has radiology-specific orientation), he has both the weekend and Fourth of July off! After intern year, a three-day weekend feels like a gift!

Linking up with AmandaKarli, and the High Five for Friday girls.

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!
