I have been completely delinquent in posting lately! William and I have been traveling a good number of weekends and training for the Virginia Beach half marathon in three weeks. We are up to 10 miles, so this weekend we will do a 12 mile training run and then take it easy with shorter runs for the two weeks before the race. We bought our tickets for Passover and we are so excited to get to see everyone!
Perry has started obedience lessons with a new private trainer (group classes were not working for him - our little pup needs special individualized attention because he has a little trouble focusing) but he is doing great on the leash and much better in the apartment since we started. We got Perry's DNA results in January (a cheap test where you send a cheek swab from him and they tell you what breeds he's made of), and we had a little contest to let our friends and parents/siblings guess his heritage. It turns out he is about 1/4 hound (american foxhound and otterhound) and 1/2 lab. Some of the sillier, small breed contributors were lhasa apso, saluki, and finnish spitz. We're not sure about those, but he does look a lot like a foxhound/lab mix! Bill Moss, William's dad, got the most points (he guessed both foxhound and lab) and won the contest.
We celebrated six months of being married and Valentine's Day at a place called The Inn at Celebrity Dairy last week. It is a little bed and breakfast out in the country near Chapel Hill, and it has been taken over by a gourmet chef and his wife (Tina, a former rockette!) but it is still a working farm. Dinner was awesome - all local produce and cheese made from goat milk from the farm. We woke up on Wednesday and got a tour of the dairy before we both headed off to work. It was pretty wild to be on the farm at 8 a.m. and at work at 9 a.m.
Speaking of work, I am contributing to several Emergency Medicine projects that I think are going to be published soon, which will be a big help for my residency applications! I'm still not sure Emergency Medicine is what I want to do (I have been thinking more and more about ob/gyn) but any publication is helpful, and I am enjoying the work now. Last night I got to work in the free clinic that all the students from UNC's health school run, and it was really fun to work with the newer medical students and realize how much I've learned in the last 3.5 years.
We cannot wait to see you both at Passover (and to introduce William to our Passover traditions - you'll really have to hide the afikomen low this year so William can't find it)!
Love,
Chailee and William
