sam i am


So how fun is this? I, shockingly, have not found my camera cord. Well that isn't the fun part, but if you see it let me know. I've wanted to upload pictures of new family member Sam, but all of the cute/uglyness is stuck on my camera. Then today we all walked just forever because it was absolutely beautiful out. We ended up at a Starbucks to relax, and this woman fell in love with Sam, took a picture and then actually emailed it to me like six hours later! How fun.

So, here you have him: Sam I Am. So named due to his incessant ways.

It was such a great day. Walked forever and ever on the Katy trail. Then, went to visit my brother and took him on a walk. Made a new tentative baby-making plan. Did I mention we decided we want to make babies? I know. Me! It is this whole big living life to the fullest story. Not that I think you have to make babies to live life to the fullest; no, I'm all about not following conventions just for the sake of them (or NOT following just for the sake of NOT following, for that matter). I think B and I have just grown and realized that our not wanting kids had something to do with not taking those kinds of risks, etc.

So, since you asked: Tentative plan is to wait until B starts first year of residency...So, that means conceiving not this August and not the next, but the next. We set up a plan so that I won't have to work, in case the primal urge NOT to drop my baby off overtakes me and I demand that we live off of government cheese so that we can financially survive. I don't know if you've heard, but the annual salary for a medical student is zero dollars, and residents really don't make much more than that.

Instead of registering, we're just asking for velvet paintings, home-made ashtrays and nascar memorabilia.
