I think that everything hit me like a ton of bricks YESTERDAY! It occured to me that my husband is taking care of people without help! He has worked 5 shifts, 6 at 730pm tonight, and I am finally realizing everything...it is so crazy how we can live daily without realizing the reality of where we actually are.
I am in New York, Brett will soon be a surgeon, saving peoples lives, one bone/tendon/ligament, at a time, and I am rediscovering myself.
I have been to the grocery store and prepared more meals at home in the last 10 days of being here than I did the entire year we were engaged! Brett is loving it and therefore so am I. It's even more rewarding when he likes it (Im kidding, he likes it all)! I am still looking for a job or a place to make my mark here, no activity in that department but I am fully convinced that God has an awesome plan for me and He is still preparing me. The truth is that although I am not working outside the home, I am fully consumed inside the home! Bewlay is a big responsibility right now considering we have no back yard, he must be on a leash at all times on the grounds, and he lives in a 200 square foot downstairs. Needless to say, he is a big part of my day. I am selling invitations, gift tags, wedding menus, wedding programs, and a huge array of other items on etsy. I truly enjoy paper goods and am really enjoying the time to be creative again. You'll have to check it out on http://purelysouthern.etsy.com/.
Right now I am working on christmas gift tags that are already personalized and ready to go. All you have to do is write the person's name that is receiving the gift and put it on the present! Super cute and huge time saver! Totally makes the apparence of the gift look put together and planned (which we know the truth is we whipped it into a bag and threw a bow on it 5 minutes before rushing out the door to barely make it to the party, at least that's my normal MO).
I am still working on finding a place to teach and/or train but as I well know, this is the worst time of the year to be hired. Gyms and clubs are normally already set in their summer schedule and are settled into a summer routine. Pretty sure that in a few weeks, as they start preparing for fall and school schedules, they will be hiring and developing new class schedules! Lets look forward to that!
We have an big announcement that we will be making this afternoon, stayed tuned...
This blog is designed to support residents spouses and partners while in medical school and residency. Decorating, fitness, cooking, and even being "domestic" (or at least trying to be). I love creating stationary and doing calligraphy! I create invitations for all ocassions. I am 29 years old, newly married, and was just transplanted from my sweet southern life to upstate New York. This blog is just a touch of what my life is like on a daily basis. Welcome to it!
