In the true testament to the age-old cliche that "Life goes on" my wonderful, sweet friends, LeAnn and Aaron Allgood brought Anabel Allgood into the world yesterday.
LeAnn and Aaron are not only physicians (so they are brilliant!!), but she is also a powerful ally in the war against breast cancer too. I first met her when she was a mere young 'un in the breast fellowship program at Grant Medical Center in Columbus. This is a really tough program wherein one spends months at a time in several specialties that touch upon breast cancer. And this is after one has already been a doctor and a surgeon for a number of years. We became fast friends and she was just in the early stages of dating Aaron. He was definitely a keeper, too. Completing his family practice residency in the Air Force at Wright Patterson in Dayton and seeing LeAnn whenever he could.
Together with Brian, the four of us spent time together, and our friendship grew as well. LeAnn and Aaron married on the west coast in a private ceremony in a manner that completely befit them - but my cousin Krissy and I helped pick out the dress. And when she completed her residency and went into practice, I will never forget when she came into my office bummed out about having to deal with the administrative side of practicing medicine..."I just want to take care of my patients!"
Then they embarked on this adventure to adopt Lucas from Guatemala...AND move to Arizona...which she chronicles on a blog ...and we all warned them..."You will definitely become pregnant now with all this happening..." and sure enough!!
Life goes on....
Welcome Anabel!!
