EIGHT weekends off (woo-hoo!)

I rarely talk about my husband on here. Part of that is because I’m pretty sure it embarrasses the heck out of him (like this post which totally did and at the time I think I had like 12 readers (which was probably my mom and sister checking in six times each)), the other part is because he’s such an intimate part of my life it feels the equivalent of writing about my legs. He’s there, the number one thing I think about all day, everyday, the person I wait up on every night, the one I always answer the phone for no matter what I’m doing (although he would like to say I never answer the phone, but that’s because I sometimes lose my phone. Case in point). Bottom line: he’s my main squeeze.

I had intentions of writing a post about how proud I am of him and the fact that he graduated from one of the best residency programs in the country alongside some of the best doctors in the country, him included of course. I thought about it for weeks and never ever could find the words to even get started. He’s just the best and I love him a whole whole lot and I miss him a whole whole lot when he’s gone and that’s that.

Now, that he has started his fellowship (in pulmonary/critical care) he will be working longer days, but less weekends. That’s a trade-off I can handle. We figured out that he does not have to work a weekend for the next EIGHT weekends. Do you know what that’s like? Okay, most of us do, but having him home and with us for the next EIGHT weekends is going to be the BEST. In the beginning of our marriage we had all these weekend rituals. I’m really looking forward to bringing some of those back! Saturday morning cinnamon rolls, farmer’s market shopping, afternoon naps, Sunday dinner out on the town …

Can’t wait!

    I HAD to comment, because I think the photo of the two of you hugging by the front door has to be one of the absolute best, most genuine pictures I’ve ever seen.  It melted my heart into a gooey puddle at my desk at work at 9am.  I would give anything for a photo that simple, but perfect, of my husband and I – it is so infused with love and is so real, in the sweetest possible way.  Congrats to BOTH of you for making it through residency!   How awesome.

    Congrats to your amazing husband!  You have the cutest family ever.  My son has just started his residency and I know how much work and dedication medical school and residency involves.  Congrats to you too — am sure he couldn’t have done it without you and your sweet baby girl.

    Jess, So proud of you all! The photos of you two are precious. As I was looking at them I was thinking of the love, sacrifice and joy you both had in order to make it through. Very inspiring.
    Love, Celeste

    aaawwww…. sooo happy for you! congratulations Corey! Proud of you… how Charley is going to enjoy all the time she will spend with both of you! Have fun! xx

    its the best feeling in the world.  I cannot begin to describe the feeling I had when Jill finished her residency at CCHMC. both personally and professionally.  We get her home… and the city gets one fine pediatrician. (people do not realize how good of a hospital we have here).  Congratulations and enjoy the next 8 weeks!

    AAAWWW!   I love the pictures!  And the emotion in each of them.  Hooray for good husbands!  Happy 8 weekends from me to you :)

    That sounds divine! Even in our line of work, sometimes weekends don’t come easy (during the busy season especially) – so excited that you guys have that right now … and so much more … things are lining up just perfectly :) xoxo!

    Savor every second!  I find that the couples that have to spend time apart appreciate more what they have and clearly you two have “it”.  My husband was traveling to Orlando 4 days a week for a long time, it taught me to not take for granted the time I have with him.
    Enjoy every second of your 8 weekends!

    Oh my gosh! I know how much you love him (cause I do too ;) and I am SO excited for you to have so much time with him! Weekends? Nice. Give him a congratulations kiss on the forehead for me!!
