medicine.

Hey people!

Hope your Friday night is a little more lively than mine! 

Yes, I'm blogging on a Friday night.. shows how crazy my life is.

My poor hubby crashed at about 5:00 tonight and is already sound asleep-

But it's okay, I'm used it by now. 

{That may seem like a rude comment if read wrong, but I promise I'm saying it nicely}.

Really, I am.

 And I'm actually glad he's asleep by 6 on a Friday night, on my night off-

he's been working his butt off studying to be the best doctor he can be and he deserves to sleep for days!

If you would have asked me how I felt about it this time last year, I would've been bummed.

But, now I understand medical school and understand the medical life.

And I know that he gets up at 4 AM so that he can study all day long and be finished by the time I get home-

and I know if he didn't need to study he wouldn't and he would be at home with me. 

And I know that he works so hard for his future patients and for our future family.

And I appreciate that so so so much.

He was certainly born to do this,

and has got a gift to help people. 

He makes me so unbelievably proud.

I feel like I say that all the time, yet not enough. 

 I love this long medical journey we're on together.

It's truly a blessing. 

Even the Friday nights when it's just me Romie & Netflix,

or days where we only see each other for 20 minutes,

and especially when you give me a check up or tell me about the cute little babies in the NICU.

It's all a blessing. 

I know he probably won't like me talking about him, but I can't help it. :)

I love you so much, best friend. 

I know I look crazy with my eyes shut but I LOVE Rom in this photo.

girls night.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Last week it was the first 'married to medicine' girls night-

something I always look forward to!

Our activity of the night was called 'my favorite things,' and I thought it'd be fun to share my list with ya.

Everyone was asked to make a list of 10 things they've fallen in love with:

things you have learned, products you like, tips of any sort-

anything that makes you smile.

Then we each brought with us one thing on our list to exchange with each other,

so everyone left with something special.

I ended up with a beautiful scarf from India that one of the wives bought while traveling this summer with her husband, how cool it that?!

It was a blast.

And a game I totally recommend for girls night-

I mean, who doesn't want to know everyone's beauty secrets, best kept recipes or awesome shopping deals?!

Below is my little list and a few photos from the night.

Enjoy!

Oh and PS they're in no particular order.

1. Anthropolgie Candle: it's the aged silver 'volcano' candle that smells like heaven!

2. Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff: it's very Notebook-esk and based on a true story, highly recommend!

3. El Basha {Greek restaurant in Omaha- one of my favs}!

4. St. Ives Even & Bright Pink Lemonade & Mandarine Orange body wash- pretty much the reason I shower- it's another product that smells amazing!

5. My Kate Spade 'Mrs' necklace. Enough said.

6. Fake Bake Tanning Lotion- the bees knees! And doesn't make ya look like an Umpa Lumpa. 

7. VSCO Cam for editing Instagram pics.

8. A large Diet Sprite with a Diet Cherry add-in from Sonic- Mmmmm caffeine free and zero calories!

9. The blog, lovetaza- my favorite online read.

10. The note tradition that Zak and I do- each day we write each other a little note, whether it's an accomplishment, funny story, love note or whatever then we put it in a jar with the date on it. Finally on NYE we read all of them aloud and reflect on the year- it's the sweetest tradition ever, and something that I will always cherish.

This is only some of the group- but let me tell you, these ladies have been such a blessing in my life. 

When our husbands are studying from 6am-8pm everyday it can get pretty lonely,

and I can always count on them for company.

From shopping trips, to lunch dates and just hanging out and making dinner these girls have been such a wonderful support system,

and I can't thank them enough.

Mmm and they also know how to cook, too!
