Happy New Year 2009!

2009 came to us with great news - our application for green card (permanent residency) has been approved!! Although it has been only 8-9 months since we officially applied for it (Temesgen as primary), it has been a long road before then. We have worked very hard to stabilize our lives, and this approval was the last piece of the picture. "Freedom - that's all I wanted" Temesgen said.

We wish you all the healthful, happy 2009!

My new resolution:
For myself: First thing First. Prioritize wisely.
For work: Focus on Dentistry. Do not derail from the long-term dreams/goals.
For Temesgen: "Say what you mean. Mean what you say" per Judge Hutchess. Good communication is even more important than before with our kids and work.
For kids: to teach Misha how to read Japanese (Hiragana). Speak more Japanese to them.

Temesgen's new resolution:
For himself and work: Publish a paper.
For kids: put both of them in bed by 10pm (Early bed time is our biggest struggle)

See how much we can stick to our resolutions this year - Good luck on yours, too!
