Miss Bella

Today the breeder sent me the weekly pictures of our little future puppy and I just had to share some because she is so cute! We are so in love with her already and haven't even met her yet.  We can't wait to make her part of our family at the end of July :) 

Bella was born on May 9, 2012, she is only 2 days old in the above picture. 

In this picture she is 16 days old with her eyes open finally and some more hair.  <3

First Day of Work

Today was a big day.  It was my first day of work in Charlotte.  Though I chose to take a position with a company that I have worked for for about 6 years now, I still had the nervous first day of work jitters.  It's a new place, new store, new team, new job title.  I had already established a work family in Richmond with whom I felt so comfortable and it is always hard to form new relationships and connections after such solid ones exist.  I kept a very positive attitude and open mind on my way to work this morning not knowing what to expect at all.  I even gave myself a pep talk once I parked before I walked in.  However, as soon as I walked into the pharmacy I was greeted by such happy smiling faces of a pharmacist and two technicians who were excited to have me.  They immediately made me feel so comfortable and at home.  My jitters completely dissolved and I received such great pharmacist training today.  The day could not have been anymore perfect (unless I wasn't working of course).  Can I just say there was a frozen yogurt place called YoFruitty right next door?! Yum. And since I'm still a Graduate Intern I have the ability to leave the pharmacy premises while working ;) Today was definitely a success because I'm not dreading going back there again tomorrow :) I feel so blessed to have a job I enjoy.

For those of you who know me well, naturally I had to document this special day with a photo.  I even pretended to not care that we now have a uniform (navy blue tops with khakis).  

Anniversary #2

A lot has happened since my last post.  On Saturday I finally moved to Charlotte and am loving it here!  The movers will not be delivering my things until this coming weekend unfortunately but I've been getting by just fine with things I packed in my car.  I've had fun exploring my surrounding areas and figuring out the roads and where things are.  Some things to mention: our place is less than a mile from an awesome mall (yay!), a super Target, and several restaurants like On the Border and PF Changs :) I've been working on several Pinterest inspired projects for our new place that I can't wait to reveal.  I've spent a lot of time with our friends Brad (who will be Rup's co-worker at CMC) and his fiance Sherri (they just got engaged this past weekend!), they have been absolutely wonderful and have taken good care of me during this transition.  We are so lucky to have such good friends here already.  Sherri also got me to join Arrichion, the hot yoga studio she goes to and I absolutely LOVE the place and how each class makes me feel.  More about the move and our new place in later posts once we are all settled in and have all our things but now for the important stuff!

Today is a very special day, it marks the date of our 2nd wedding anniversary <3  I don't know where the time has gone because the first two years of wedded bliss have just flown right by!  We are so excited that our long distance relationship is finally coming to an end and we are going to be able to spend more time together (like a normal married couple!).  We are so lucky to have found each other and are truly blessed.  

                  

Presenting for the first time..... Dr. and Mrs. Misra!!! 

This was our first dance to "Lucky" by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz

Tomorrow is my first day of work at Rite Aid in Charlotte as a Grad Intern, I'm a little nervous but excited for this transition.  All of my hard work in pharmacy school has finally paid off!  Wish me luck for tomorrow :)

New Beginnings

Welcome to my blog!  After 2 years of a long distance marriage and 4 years of pursuing pharmacy school and residency training 600 miles apart, my husband and I are finally moving to and settling down in Charlotte, NC together.  We are very excited about beginning a new chapter in our life together and thought we'd share with our friends and family!  This journey officially started this past weekend as I graduated from pharmacy school in front of my husband, family, and close friends.  The whirlwind weekend of emotion was just the start to our exciting journey we are about to begin in Charlotte. 

 My in-laws flew all the way down from Michigan just for the day to watch me graduate.

 My proud husband.  We are the Drs. Misra now :)

 Couldn't have gotten thru pharmacy school without these girlfriends.

 Without these people (my parents, brother, and husband) in my life I would not be where I am today.

 Dr. Swati Misra or Swati Misra, PharmD

I hope you continue to follow our journey together.  More to come regarding our big move very soon.
