Our life in pictures and words

We’re Baaaa-aack…….

Hello.

Welcome to 2008.  I don’t know if I fell asleep, fell off the face of the earth, or just got lazy….maybe a little of all three….but I’m pretty I sure slacked off for a good 7 months there!  By now, anyone who may have regularly checked in on Bjorn and me here has probably long since given up — I hear crickets when I log on….HA HA.

Anyways, MUCH has changed since I last updated our site.  Hopefully many of you have checked in one way or another and are somewhat up to date but here is the speedy run down………

Bjorn finished his second year of medical school — GOOD RIDDANCE — and is happily plodding through his third year, doing clinical rotations.  He has been on OB-Gyn, Psych, General Surgery, Surgical Sub-specialties, In-Patient Peds and Family Medicine.  Lots of ground covered!  Last fall when the state of California caught on fire (LOL sort of), Bjorn helped serve the county by volunteering at the evacuation centers, and solidified his decision to practice Emergency Medicine.  YAY!  He also began ministering on Sunday mornings by playing guitar at the satellite campuses for our church, and the two of us took on a leadership role in our married couples small group.  Lots of fun.  Over the holidays, we were able to get back to Minnesota to celebrate a White Christmas; visit my dad & co. in Seattle; and even take a ski vaca in Canada with Bjorn’s friends from Bethel.  WHEW.  2007 went out with a bang…..But, we were not sorry to see it go.  :)

As for me…….2007 took me down a career path I never in a million years would’ve expected to go!  In July of last year, I launched a business with Arbonne International, marketing skin care, health & wellness products.  I LOVE IT!  Best (career) decision I ever made!  In August I threw in the corporate towel to focus on my business and it’s been fantastic.  Check out my website:

My new career path has given me the ability to be more in control of my life and my schedule…..I am in several awesome Bible studies and love the fact that my life is what I want it to be — not what the rigorous schedule forces it to be.  It is muy bueno.

Life in California is chugging along.  Crazy, but Bjorn will graduate from medical school in just over a year from now.  Next up, schedule rotations in different hospitals to determine where to do residency….plan a Spanish Immersion trip for us to Ecuador….and book a graduation / five year anniversary celebration trip to Hawaii.  (We hope at least!) 

Come & Visit - you never know where we’ll be next!  And stay tuned to our site for more frequent updates……
