Ten years ago this time, my kids were so cute and little… and life looked very different
We had finally moved into our house after living with my parents for three years (Dan’s idea, not mine ). My amazing friends surprised me with a Napa trip for my birthday. Professionally, I was Chairwoman of the Department of Anesthesiology at Vista Medical Center East, running the entire group schedule… and somehow actually enjoying it. Practicing aesthetic medicine on a mass scale? Not even on my radar yet — though I definitely already loved doing it. Dan was deep in Supreme Leader training.
And since we’re clearly achievers and over-sharers… here’s a little throwback to 2006 too. Back then, I was standing up in a million weddings, a second-year resident, and I truly don’t remember anything because… residency.
Life has evolved. The kids grew. The career path shifted. The dreams got bigger. And somehow, everything led exactly where it was supposed to.
Cheers to growth, glow-ups, and the beautiful chaos in between
