Thoughts on the Future

As the move to the States is just looming around the horizon, many of my friends have been inquiring about my future there. How long would I be staying in Wisconsin and where would we move to after residency? Does he plan to work in Wisconsin and then try for fellowship? All these questions seem…

He Popped the Question

Honestly, I did not expect it to happen this time around as S.O’s grandma just passed. I figured that due to our Asian culture that perhaps he would pop the question another time.
