Better 2008
Hope you all had a wonderful and memorable holiday season! We got to spend lots of time with family! We also went to DC for a really awesome Muslim/Indian/Chinese traditional wedding.
Resolutions for a Better 2008
2007 was rough in some ways and amazing in others -- the great thing about a new year is that there's always so much hope and resolve for a better year. Here are my resolutions...tell me one of yours!
== Better Health ==
I recently went to get a check up for the first time in too many moons. After a lot of testing and consultations I found that I have a heart condition and crazy high cholesterol. My doctor said that I need to take medication but will give me a chance to improve in the next few months. This means...exercising and eating healthy. Eek!
== Expanding Our Family ==
The first step to fulfilling this resolution is to find a good obstetrician. Does anyone have a good rec for an ob in the West LA/Century City area?
== Staying Organized ==
I love to collect and buy things so naturally it results in tons of clutter. I'm going to try to stay organized and not hang on to every little memento/chotchke/thing I find.
== Friends ==
Helping plan two very important events for two of my best buddies -- a wedding and a baby shower!
== Improving Photography ==
I really hope I can be more disciplined and improve my photography and Photoshop skills.
== Better ==
This is just a general resolution but I really want to become a better wife, daughter, grandkid, sister, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, friend...just a better person.
My wish for all of you in 2008 is...good health, amazing memories with family and friends, love and tons of happiness and blessings!
Made with love by my dear Teresa. She even made me cholesterol-busting cookies to cheer me up!

Happy 2008!
Great pictures! You look lovely in the red scarf! Hope you have a wonderful 2008!
other than the health resolution, i could just copy & paste your goals onto my site :)
my old doctor is THE BEST! kinda hard to get to because she's on sunset and doheny, but everyone i refer to her say she's the best doctor ever. dr. violet boodaghian. trust me you'll love her! =)
you couldn't have put it any better, for a Better 2008. I like that. Btw thanks for the encouragement, i really hope I am not strapped in a straight jacket at the end of that day! ;p
wow what a cool looking wedding! and the pic of your doggie eyeing the cookies is too cute!
sorry to hear about your heart condition and cholesterol. :( hope these problems get fixed soon. pls take care of yourself!
great pictures and what encouraging resolutions!
when i was living in west la, i really loved my ob. her name is anita sumen and she is part of the Beverly Hills Group of Women Physicians (I've heard great things about all the doctors in this group). They have an office in BH and also in Manhattan Beach. She was so warm and caring when i had a million questions (and some complications) during my first pregnancy. She even sent me a baby gift after Andrew was born. She delivers at UCLA and also at Cedars. Since the group only accepts ppo insurance, there is a short wait time and alll their equipment is in the office (blood work, ultrasounds, etc.)

hope that helps!

Happy 2008... the wedding looks pretty awesome.. yea I have cholesterol problem too... me and exercise just doesn't match... everything I like to eat are high in cholesterol.. I just have to learn portion control... good luck with all your resolutions... yay for trying... you gonna be a great mom.. I see how you are with Bella...no recommendation for OB since I'm in NY...

Happy New Year and a speedy recovery to you!!!! Wow, that wedding must've been sooo much fun. Great pictures as always!!!
Happy New Year and good luck with your resolutions =) The picture of Bella hungrily eyeing the cookies is really cute!
Is Andy from HK btw? There are lots of good shopping and food places! If u go i can give u lotsa recommendations! :D
i hope you have a wonderful 2008! happy new year :D
Happy New Year! Let me ask my OB. She used to be the chief resident at UCLA...maybe she has some recommendations.
awww, sorry to hear about your heart condition..... but don't worry too much. try to stay stress free and TRY to live a healthy lifestyle, def. use less salt. i had open heart surgery when i was 17 and i'm totally fine now. i don't know how serious your condition is but if your dr. is giving you a chance to "improve", it should be considered more of a boo boo than anything. but nonetheless, you will be in my prayers. ^^
in anycase, happy new year and hope all your 2008 wishes/resolutions are met!
happy new year skippee! i love your photos! bella, as always, is adorable as ever!
are you guys planning on starting a family soon?? :D
happy new year! that pic of bella with her tongue licking the sound of her mouth salivating is awesome!
OMG, I can't imagine how skinner you'll get with the healthier you (you're TINY as is)!!! I love your pics and always look forward to your updates. I hope 2008 turns out as wonderful as you want it to!
Still have never attended an Indian wedding! They look so festive and colorful- I have wedding guest envy.
Those are wonderful, upbeat resolutions! I actually don't like making mine at the beginning of the year- I like to make changes in spring when the weather is warmer. *lol* I think I'm just too lazy after the holidays. But better health in regards to nutrition and exercise for me and Joe are definitely tops on our list. Also to spend more time with friends and family- to make the effort to see people more often since we're not living closeby. Sounds like you have an exciting 2008 ahead though! And Bella licking her lips (nose) as she stares at the plates of goodies is just too cute!
Happy New Year! Looks like you're going to have an exciting 2008!
happy 2008!
wow, expanding your family? so very exciting!! :)
one of mine is to practice more patience... God knows i need to.
i love the picture of bella lickin' her chops at the sight of the cookies! i love that little girl!
yes, let's coordinate a good weekend for me & coco to come on down and visit you & bella at home! lemme know what dates work for you and we'll go from there.
i love your new year's resolution list ~ although jenny, you couldnt bee a better person that u are. you're always giving 110% to everyone you.
Teresa makes the best desserts!! ~ i recognised the ones of the left from your bridal shower. SO GOOD. Bella agrees. Her smacking her tongue around like that is gold.
hey, i just realised....i'm being such a bad, unsupportive friend if you're trying to watch your cholesterol and then i give u a bag of chocolates. they're not even cholesterol-busting ones like teresa's. i should be giving you fruit instead.
