Friends

I just need to say that I am so thankful for the friendships I have grown into this year.  To be honest, it was a rocky start of the year with the friends I had.  With all the changes that Josh and I have made, friendships had to change too.   But, it seems that it has all worked and I am closer to those people now that I have been in years.

So, thank you to the friends I have had and the friends I have made.

Goodbye for now,

Felicia

M1

M1 will be finishing up in less than a month!!!  [ insert happy dance :) ]

Another wife and I were talking about the year and we both kept bring up how proud we were of your guys, and really thats what I feel about this year. Yes, it was crazy, and hard, and emotional and lonely at times, but honestly, I am so proud of everything Josh has accomplished.  With everything he has had to endure, he is still a fantastic husband and I couldn't ask for more.

With that being said, I am also proud of myself. This was not an easy or quick task to take on, but I'm doing it and finding who I am in the process...  I think the most important thing I have learned this school year, is to be true to yourself. It is so hard to get swept up in someone else's life, to the point where you completely forget about yours. But, I've quickly learned that you have to hold on tight to your identify and your passions because, wives, being a doctors wife/med students wife does not define you.

-I have been trying to write this stupid post for about a week now, I don't know why I can't get it out.  But, at the moment this has been on my mind. I'm praying for all you crazy med students... these next few weeks are going to be intense. 

Goodbye for now,

I think I need to do one of those update post next and just get everything out so I can move on and get rid of my writers block :) 

Picking a fight.

There are days that I am upset for no reason, or lonely, or stressed or just grumpy. On those days, I seem to try and pick a fight to put a reason behind why I feel the way I do.  It's not ok, and I know that...

The problem is, on those rough days medical school is always there picking a fight right back at me.

I often have to stop myself and think, is it Josh thats making me mad or is it the load of medical school. I wish I had some insight but these are just thoughts, and I figured the other wives out there may be able to relate.

Goodbye for now,

Felicia

-I will write more later [too tired right now]. Also, I don't say this enough, but thanks so much for all who read this! You're awesome.

Lt. Med Student

Yesterday my med school man became a 2nd Lieutenant in the United states Air Force. Pretty darn cool.

As of now, his responsibilities to the Air Force are strictly medical school. But, In July he will be traveling down to Alabama for commissioned officer training. [Being away from him for a month long, is going to really suck! But, I am hoping to visit a lot of family during that time!]   I couldn't be more proud of him, He not only is pursuing his dream but also opening up a lot of opportunities for me and our future family. With tuition not being an issue anymore, our future seems wide open. I can't wait to experience all the new adventures that this will take us on.

For anyone considering the military to pay for schooling, I really suggest looking into the Air Force. We found a lot of great resources, and the pro's really did outweighed the cons.

Well, I must be getting back to work. Happy Saturday to everyone!

Goodbye for now,

Felicia

I would like my husband back...

Test weeks are always long. Usually they are on a Monday; So you suffer through a hard weekend, he takes the test and then BAM just like that, I see him in day light hours for a week or so.  But, this time he has a test on Good Friday [me and God aren't too happy about that OUWB ;)]. Which means, he suffered through the "weekend before the test weekend" and now has another entire week to suffer through. UGH! I'm getting really tired of coming home to an empty apartment, and going to bed alone. You're wearing me down med-school, you are wearing me down.

Anywho, I'm keeping busy though... I've actually had a lot going on lately, so that really helps. But, it doesn't make you miss your spouse any less.

Only two more full days of studying and I get to steal him. Good luck everyone; I'm sure your friends and Significant others miss you all too. :)

Goodbye for now,

Felicia
