Hurry Up!

So in just one week my husband's first semester as a medical student will be over. Standing between him and the promised land of an "almost a 3 week break" are three tests and an OSCE ( the pretend dr. experience).

When next Wednesday rolls around he will be 12.5% Doctor.

That fact is unreal to me.

It seems like just yesterday we were pondering whether or not it was "worth" it for him to go to medical school. We ruminated on and on about the length of the education, the grueling residency, the debt we would accrue, leaving our home, missing our friends....LIVING in Tennessee.

But here we are.

A wise man ( my brother) once told me that "no matter what 4-years was going to pass by".

Now we could have stayed where we were and time would have passed by but my husband would have grown more and more depressed about not following his dream. Instead, we shook up our lives and took the plunge, and time is passing faster than a freight train.

The smile of pride and accomplishment on the face of the man I love has made every difficult change....worth it.
