Hi everyone, its Jason here. I've been a silent voice on the blog since it's inception, enjoying Anna's entries as many of you do. But I thought I would take a short break from studying for my boards to post the slideshow I did as a tribute to my wonderful wife. For those of you that made the graduation party, this is a repeat, but some of you didn't get to see it. It chronicles our lives these last 5 years, from our marriage just a week and a half before residency started until now. Even though residency loomed large in our lives, our love flourished and we ended residency as a family, with three precious gifts from the Lord. I am truly blessed...

The Party
And celebrate we did. Thanks to all of you who were able to join us. The evening was delightful and Jason and I felt very loved. Though we were elated to be celebrating the end of residency, the real joy of the celebration was our wonderful family and friends who have shared this journey with us. Jason and I could not have made it through this time without the love, encouragement and devotion each of you has shown to us.
And as those in attendance know, Jason surprised me with a slideshow of pictures from our five years in residency (also our five married years) which was priceless. God blessed me beyond imagining by giving me Jason for my precious husband.

I got tagged with this several months ago by two friends- Libby and Jessica. I'm not going to tag anyone else, but I thought I could share the requested five little known facts.
Pretty sure that these things won't be new to everyone reading this, but perhaps most of you...
1. I spent at least part of every summer of my childhood in Colorado. My grandparents had a fishing cabin there with no tv, no telephone, no radio, but an amazing outdoor adventure just beyond the front door. The first summer I didn't go was in 1994 when I was...
2. In Ukraine. I have now traveled there four times, and there are few places in the world I can imagine enjoying more. My adopted family there is very near and dear to me. And the only regret I have about our wedding is that they were not able to be apart. One summer when I wasn't in Ukraine, ...
3. I got to study abroad in Italy. This is my second adopted "home". I love most all things Italian - the food, the landscapes, the art, the dishes, the pace... One day I hope to take Jason. And one day (when I'm not pregnant or nursing) I also hope to...
4. Run in Hood to Coast. Not because I'm a good runner (or even much of a runner at all), but just because it sounds like fun. Maybe in the meantime I should consider the Portland to Coast walk. Getting out to walk is a favorite past-time (though I really miss my friend Megan that I used to walk with) and a few other favorites are...
5. Movie - Anna and the King (with Jodi Foster)
Book - Les Miserables (many of you know that)
Color - Purple
Ice cream flavor - Peanut Butter Cup
Social event - going dancing (Hasn't happened in the NW but we used to have tons of fun in college. I'm guessing it won't make the list in Bangladesh either...)
Now, I'm absolved.
