One Year Wedding Anniversary Surprise 🤍

My mother in law and father in law helped us pull off the surprise in the video. It was about to be our one-year wedding anniversary and Geoff was up in WA doing an away rotation. Before this plan came together, I was disappointed that we wouldn’t be together for our anniversary. Sure we’d have been together at that point for 9 years, but your first wedding anniversary is special. ❤️

Today we’re celebrating three years married out of the eleven years we’ve been together. It’s been a crazy ride and I wouldn’t change it for the world. We’ve gone through college, medical school, and now in the middle of residency together. Each period has brought its own challenges for us both personally as individuals and together as a couple.

Three years down, a lifetime to go. ❤️

I Get To

This was something I initially learned when I was in network marketing. And while I am not in network marketing at this given time, this has resurfaced again as I think about the journey of medical school and soon to be residency. The leaders of my company wanted us to try and find the blessings and positives of not just life, but our businesses too. Never did more than try it once or twice, but that’s it.

While it is easy for me to complain and stress about all the things that need to get done before Geoff starts his residency, my father in law reminded me that we should enjoy and be thankful for this journey. There are so many that wish they could be a doctor and be in our spot. Not only that, but it’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, only focusing on that next step/stair that we forget that we need to also enjoy it along the way.

  • So I have taken some time to reflect on my blessings through this journey.
      • We GET TO move home to Washington.
      Geoff GETS TO practice Anesthesia.
      We GET TO own a beautiful home in Nevada.
      We GET TO be closer to family and friends.
      I GOT TO work for two amazing companies.
      I GET TO be married to an amazing man.
      I GET TO drive a car that is owned free and clear.
  • There were some of Geoff’s classmates that were not as lucky to match in the first round and they had to scramble the week of to find a home for their residency. Most, if not all, of who had to scramble found a home and I could not be more excited for them! Now they too get to say ‘I get to.’

    • I challenge you to think about the blessings in your life and make a list of the things that you ‘get to’ do because of either your job, your business (brick and mortar or network marketing), your family, whatever it might be. Because life’s most amazing blessings aren’t always big, sometimes the smallest blessings have the biggest impact.
