Back to the Start

On June 3rd, I graduated from OHSU in Portland, OR and received my MD degree. Shortly thereafter, Amara helped me move down to Phoenix, AZ in time for me to start my orientation for my Med/Peds residency on June 11th. My first day of work as a physician was Monday, June 23rd. And since then, it's been busy and lots of learning, but I do feel privileged to learn and practice medicine.

I finally decided to buy a dining table/chairs.. this is from Ikea.. $120 for the set


Thanks to Amara, the bathroom is the best decorated and most coordinated room in my apartment (note the flower arrangement on the left, the stylish candles, the cute little stack of washcloths, the fancy tissue box holder, and the matching decorative bath rugs). My contribution are the non-matching random assortment of bath towels you see hanging on the rack.
