This morning I came to a realization..I was working at my desk, sipping coffee and then it hit me...wow! I have an office, I can drink at my desk, I don't smell like mice and I am not surrounded with annoying post docs or graduate students who wants to prove that they are better than everyone else. It hits me how lucky I am ...don't get me wrong...I always knew I was a lucky girl bc my parents loved and supported me always and I had good health, more than what most ppl have. But I was sitting at my desk and I felt so happy because I have a loving husband to go home to everyday who shares all moments of life with me, my good health, familes that love me, good friends and a good job that I am learning so much from.
I have been so blessed in the past year. So many great things have happened to me from my PhD graduation, to getting married and finding a new job. I am a very lucky girl.

on a side note....good luck Eric on your GRE exam. You will do great...you are smart!!!
