By the time this post goes up, I will (hopefully) be back in Portland, OR. As I write this (on Friday) I have just finished my last day of fellowship training. This is the end of nine years of medical training. Holy moly.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a decade since I began all of this. It definitely doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.
I took a break outside today in Palo Alto. The weather was a perfect 70 degrees. I will be driving into 114 degree heat! Yikes! Here are the final photos of the Palo Alto garden for posterity’s sake.









Marie, Congratulations on this enormous accomplishment!!
We’re so happy for you! I know your Dad is so proud and your Mom would be absolutely thrilled! Congratulations on your success, Marie!
