Something Big

Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of this little blog.

In a year, I’ve made 150 blog posts (well, this is blog post #151).

In a year, I’ve talked about my worries for doctor’s-wifehood…

The uncertainty that lies before us…

My loneliness…

My attempts at beating that loneliness…

My many failures as a housewife in general and additional failures as a doctor’s wife…

Apparently, lots of bugs…

The sometimes gross and sometimes annoying experiences that may happen only to doctors’ spouses…

What it means to listen to your husband’s heartaches and want to fight his battles…

The lessons I’ve learned from this journey we’re on…

How much love we share, despite the long hours and grueling schedule…

It’s been a year. And it’s just the beginning; we have two to three years left of residency… and three years of fellowship to get through… just to reach the point where life normalizes somewhat.

I feel like, together, we got through something this year. My husband’s first year as a real life doctor. Our first year of discovering what it takes to make a marriage work. It feels like we endured something. Survived something. Accomplished something.

Something big.

And I feel like you, Internet, have been with me through this journey. You’ve comforted me and offered advice and I hope you’ll come along for Year 2.

  1. Oh oh oh, I’m with you Mrs. Doctor. I’m a “crazy” and you can’t get rid of me! 😉 Do I sound creepy? heh. You’ve had a WILD ride, but one day you’ll fit into that GLAMOROUS Dr’s Wife Stereotype right? RIGHT?

  2. Aw. Congratulations on having a momentous and overall good, if stressful, year! Your blog is great and from what I can tell you’re pulling off the “married to a doctor” thing really well too, so good job! Keep it up. =) Woo!

  3. Happy Bloggaversary 🙂 I’m so happy I found your blog. I’ve gone through and read many of your old posts (not trying to sound creepy here) because I feel I can relate on many of your posts. Uncertainty, loneliness…I’ve experienced those on this journey so far and I know it’s FAR from being over. I’m thankful to have found your blog so I know I’m not alone or “crazy” for having many of these feelings and worries.
    Thanks for sharing and I can’t wait to see what year 2 brings!

  4. Happy Anniversary!!
    Something big indeed… what a year it has been. I am so thankful to have found you along this journey because sometimes I wonder how I would be able to survive the insanity of the medical world if I didn’t have people like you to fall back on for support. So thankyou for being a blogger and I definitely look forward to this next year!
