Orlando Pictures

We are back safe and sound from Florida; and now we are extra plump from two family's worth of turkey dinners! Here are some pictures from our excursions:

Orlando Update

Well we are safely landed in Orlando. Mark, Ray, Eddie and I are here for almost two weeks, first for the American Society of Hematology conference, then for plain fun and relaxation.

We had our first day at the conference yesterday--obviously Mark and I were way more into in than the other two, but we did manage to find a surgically applicable talk for Ray and a peds talk for Eddie. Mark and I will be going back today for some of the ground breaking research presentations.

Last night however, we managed to make it Tutsiville (which is right next to Kennedy Space Center) to watch the launch of the Discovery Shuttle. It was SO cool. We were right on waterfront across from the launch pad. There were a whole bunch of local people lined up sitting on lawn chairs. When the shuttle took off it lit up the entire sky as though it was daylight. It was really awesome.

Happy Birthday Eddie!

My dearest Eddie is twenty-six today. I am so blessed to have him in my life, he brings me more joy than I could have ever hoped for or imagined! And he's even a bigger nerd than I am--how hard is that to believe! A tribute to the man I love, you are the biggest nerd and I love you all the more because of it. I love your spirit, your compassion, you passion for truth, reason and logic. I love that you always make me laugh, I love your smile, your dimples and the crinkles around your eyes. Happy birthday to the man who won my heart.
