Thinking about the future

We spent the weekend going to a few graduation parties for the senior residents Nate works with. It made me think a lot about life and the next four years. Sometimes it feels like graduation is light years away for us. The first year did fly by but four more years seems like forever. Especially since Nate will probably choose to do a fellowship to specialize which is another year on top of the five year residency. I prefer not to think about it really.

At the end of this journey Cambri will be 8 (9 if we do a fellowship). Nate and I will have just celebrated 10 years of marriage. We will have survived 9 long years of being professional students living off pennies. Hopefully we will be moving to our forever place and be done moving every couple years.  I am anxious to figure out where that forever place will be.  I have my list of wants and needs.  Some days my list of wants seem to be really long:)  We shall see how many of those are met. 

Although there are days when I am anxious to be done with residency I have much to be grateful for.  We like where we live.  Nate works a lot but he likes his job.  I have made a lot of really great friends.  I love the classes I teach at the YMCA.  This part of our lives will be full of great memories.

P.S.  I can feel baby brother kicking in my belly right now.  Seriously one of the best feelings.
