The Past Few Days

A quick blog update before I head to the city with Sean for a lovely night at the San Francisco Symphony. I'm so excited to share one of my favorite things with him! The symphony is one of the things I most miss about Salt Lake.

Anyway, the past few days have involved lots of fun and tiny amounts of work. The first items of business pale in comparison to the last. But I will share anyway...

My summer shoe splurge! Proud owner of Top-Siders.

Mattress delivery and bed assembling yesterday! Big thanks to Sean for helping me out and extra big thanks to my mom for buying me what I'm calling my doctoral bed! Here's to sweet prelim exam dreams on a pillow top mattress sent straight from heaven. 
And...

Daphne
Daphne was born yesterday morning! Isn't she the absolute most beautiful thing you've ever seen? What a bundle of happiness and love. I am so happy for Emily and Taylor, and so happy for me! I spent a lot of time thinking about how amazing life is, especially new life, and how fortunate I am to get to experience (even though long distance) the welcoming of a new person to the world. And not just any new person! She's one of us! Family. Anyway, welcome Daphne! I cannot wait to watch you grow. I love you!
