“So, how is married life treating you?” Mom-in-law asked while we were shopping for shoes.
“I’m really happy,” I responded with a genuine ear-to-ear grin. “We have our little things*, but overall I know how lucky I am and I’m really happy where we’re at. Brandon works so hard at communication and evolving our relationship. It’s inspiring and a little intimidating, but I know we’re making forward progress.”
Our med school paths are no longer identical. Brandon spends the day at home and is excited to go out (for dinner, to a movie, whatever) in the evenings. I spend the day at the hospital and am excited to stay home (watch football, crochet, whatever) in the evenings. Really? That’s our biggest conflict this month?
Not bad, huh?
We are walking the same path. Side-by-side. We have the same goals and dreams for our family and our futures. We draw strength and encouragement from each other.

Lol, I am not sure how much strength and encouragement could be drawn from me these days considering I am just sitting around waiting to see if I need to study again or not : ) You though, you are inspiring and thoughtful and so awesome at getting everything done when it needs to be done, that is something that I could learn from. LOVE YA!! : )
