Oh goodness. Where to start? It’s been several months since I’ve posted last. The last thing I posted was about my trip down to San Francisco. Since then, the holidays have come and gone, we rung in a new year, and I realized that I’m now a year out from the worst month of my life.
It’s crazy how fast time has gone. It feels like the other day that I was moving out of my childhood home. It was a rough time for me. Mentally and emotionally. I almost don’t want to believe that it’s real. But it is. It’s a new normal and I’m learning to find peace with that.
We’re halfway through our first year of residency which is also insane to think about. Its been a journey of ups and downs…and learning to navigate this new life. I’ve found that when I get time with my husband, I don’t make plans with others. I try to be on my phone less and I make sure we get out of the apartment. Being intentional and present during my time with him has been helping our marriage. Residency has me doing lots of the chores, but he helps when he can and that is appreciated.
Work has me busy. Hard to believe that I’ve been with my current company now for over half a year. Time sure does fly. I remember the days when I wished I could work for this company and now that I do, I’m hoping for a longtime career with them. Here’s to hoping right?! Lol
Ah! I did want to share a goal that I had created for myself that ended up getting accomplished. After I got my job, my husband and I had a lot of credit card debt. Between three cards, we had five figures settling just under $15k. My goal was to pay off all our credit card debt by the end of 2019. Guess what? Goal. Accomplished. Y’all….it felt A M A Z I N G. 😍 Now the balances are manageable and under control. It took determination and sacrifices to make sure I met my goal. This goal sadly also took place around the holidays which made a gift giver such as myself frustrated. I love gifting, but had to set a budget and stick to it. Which is also something I (rather surprisingly) managed to to. Lol
Anyways….it feels good to be back. Looking forward to sharing more memories and journeys through this thing called residency. Xoxo 💕
