a glimpse into the future?

Whoever came up with this idea for Dean's Clinical Observership deserves a medal. It's an awesome program. I'm absolutely LOVING my time in internal medicine so far. Hospitalist service is pretty cool, my attending and residents are incredibly nice and helpful... I feel like I'm learning so much. Keeping my fingers crossed that it'll stick and help me in my next year of classes. The M3s on "my" team just started today. They seem really nice, but at the same time, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable, both in my lack of knowledge and because I'm worried about being in their way. I guess we'll all figure it out in a few days.

As for another "look" into the future... I have one every time I look down at my left hand. That pretty, shiny diamond ring still looks a little funny. I'm so not used to it. But I'm also very excited. I know I've found my soulmate, the one person I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. I've thought and prayed long and hard about us getting married, and although I would love to take the plunge ASAP, I know that it would be smarter (and in the end, probably better) if we wait for him to move home for good. So 1.5 years until I see the love of my life every day, and probably closer to 2 until I can call him my husband. :)

I love my life right now. Love, love, love, love, LOVE. <3
