I've started diaries/journals in the past and I do a really good job for about 2 weeks, and then, Netflix puts a new TV series on and I fall asleep to that instead of writing. So, I'll document it, February 1st 2014, Anna Pfalzer starts a new blog -- let's hope there are entries past Valentine's day.
Most of you know Sean and I pretty well, but for those of you who don't, meet Me:
I am currently a graduate student at Tufts University with hopefully less than 2 years remaining in my Biochemistry program -- although the timing is really dependent on a lot of things, especially the degree to which I mess up or otherwise break equipment in my lab. My building is in the midst of Chinatown in Boston so on a regulated basis, I treat myself to dim sum, pho, and sushi. When I'm not at work, I enjoy running (although not during the winter), BBQ-ing, and some social situations where moderate alcoholic drinking is involved. When I'm at home, I'm probably snuggling with our Boston Terrier, Izzy. Meet Izzy....
Izzy is 8 years old and probably the best pooch in the world. You can ask anyone who's met Izzy, she's pretty darn great and the worlds best snuggler. It doesn't matter if we're gone for 20 minutes or the entire day, Izzy does a Beyonce-like booty-shake dance every time you enter the apartment.
Meet Sean:
Shortly after moving to Boston, Sean began working at the Central Transportation Planning Staff organization in Boston while simultaneously earning his Masters degree in City Planning from Boston University. He's since completed his program and moved up the ranks in his organization. I believe his title is now something like "Transportation Improvement Manager" or as I call it 'The Q-Tip.' I won't attempt to describe what Sean does, but it has something to do with making it less life-threatening for me when I ride my bike into work. Sean also dabbles with various extracurricular activities including flag football during the warmer months and basketball during the winter. He's also decided that he enjoys biking and often goes for long bike rides outside the city (again, during the warmer months).

Perhaps our most exciting (read: half terrifying) news is that our human family of two is soon expanding to three.... or at least dear God, I hope it's just three. I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant with something that I've been picturing as a peanut. Currently our due date is July 25th, but as far as I can tell, the doctors have just been eye-balling the size and going along with my own made up due date. To anybody other than Sean and I, I don't look any different and I think that's partially due to the fact that it's winter and I get to wear bulky sweaters anyway. I would compare my belly changes to someone who just consumed an entire Chipotle burrito. I'll let Sean speak to any emotional changes.
I think that should be it for introductions... until next time...
