Sorry we have been MIA on our blog. I've been trying to adjust to change, and I prefer to blog about happier things. I just wanted to share what I've been going through.
Coming back from Christmas vacation I was very stressed and it was the hardest time coming back so far for me. It was harder because I knew that when I came back Scott would be starting his year of medical rotations and I wouldn't see him very often. On top of that his first rotation would be surgery in Stamford Connecticut which meant Scott would be living away from me. If I didn't have a job I probably would have just stayed in Utah. But I have a job and responsibilities so I couldn't do that.
His rotation started at the beginning of January, and I will admit that it has been much harder than I thought it could be. When Scott has been gone I have felt sort of empty I don't know how to describe it. I felt like I had taken him for granted while I had him around everyday. Luckily he has been able to come home at least one day each weekend. I don't know if it makes it easier though because I have to say goodbye again each time he leaves.
The good news is that he only has one more week left of living away! Hurray this rotation is almost over:) I feel like I have done a lot better than I thought I would. I feel like I am learning to be more independent and productive. I have been cleaning, organizing and crafting to occupy my time. Also, our friends have been amazing and have invited me over for dinners, and to hang out. It's crazy to think that he is almost done with one rotation. When he gets back he'll still be really busy depending on which rotation he is on but at least he'll be living here and I'll see him more than I have with this rotation:) I'm kind of glad looking back that I got the worst one out of the way first. When Scott's finished with this rotation I'll have him post a summary of what he's been up to in Connecticut.
Anyways, when I'm feeling stressed, overwhelmed, I tend to withdraw which is why I haven't blogged. I'm getting back into it I promise!
You're a strong woman, Ash. I'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteIt is really nice that he got the hard one out of the way! Then the rest won't seem quite so bad! And I'm glad you have a job because what would I do at work if you weren't online?!! Think about that one!!!!! :)
