the point

Since I obviously don't write in here as much as I should, I'm just going to go ahead and post my personal blog link on the top right corner of this blog (go see), and direct you there in between the months that I do actually write something in here. That one tends to be a little less family-oriented, but it will give you an insight into our lives still. If you can't find it on the sidebar for some reason, it's also here:

However, the point of having this site is to update on our sub-family, the San Francisco Caldwells, so here it is. Nolan's knee-deep into his third year of medical school. He's still trying to decide on a specialty, but he's loving each different rotation. So far he's done OB/GYN, Anesthesiology (a favourite!), and is halfway through his internal medicine rotation. Next up: Pediatrics in Fresno. So yes, he'll be gone in Fresno for about 6 weeks in August/September, but we'll be making roadtrips and such to pass the time apart. Fortunately, they provide housing and food, so we don't have to worry about that.

Something else that is still relatively new, is Nolan's new hog. We got our first motorcycle awhile ago, and we're loving it! Nolan takes it to the hospital every day, and he will have that down in Fresno to get around, as well. One of the hugest perks is the parking situation--a motorcycle can fit on any curb in the city! So now we can go to Bi-Rite for ice cream after work, and not worry about finding parking :)

As for me, I'm still at my job at McKesson and loving it! It's a really great place to be right now, and I love my coworkers and feeling challenged in my job :) I've gotten my adult learner for the literacy tutoring I am doing, and she is a really neat girl. She is super motivated, and we're loving working through Twilight together once a week.

N and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on July 21, and it occurred to me that time is going by way faster than I'd bargained for. I wrote a little bit about all that in my personal blog, which you can see here.

Right now we're busy planning a vacation trip to Europe (our present to ourselves for our anniversary!)in October, but of course there won't be much to write about that until we're there!

For now, that seems to be all I've got. I'll try to be more diligent about my posting in here.
