Wedded Bliss

This week, it's four years of said bliss.

Looking back several years, I remember when someone (not a close friend or family member, natch) told me that if I went to med school, I'd probably miss out on the kind of guy I really wanted to marry (you know, being too busy studying and all). Clearly, I didn't believe them. Clearly, I was right.

I figured I'd be able to find someone who appreciated my goals and was willing to suffer through the medical training with me. But I didn't count on finding someone who would come to the hospital every fourth night for my entire intern year so we could have dinner in the cafeteria. I didn't count on finding someone who would uncomplainingly get up to comfort the baby at night when I was exhausted and working and wondering how I'd find the energy to keep taking overnight call. I didn't count on someone who never complained when I was late getting home from the hospital, who made my lunches in the morning, and didn't bat an eye when I used our wedding-gifted cookware a lot less than he did in the first years of our marriage. He has smiled and told me he's so proud of what I've accomplished. He has made me laugh when the going got tough. He has worked so hard and been such a sunny person. I am astonished at his unselfishness. He is my happy place.

Medical Spouses are really the unsung heroes who deserve a shout-out.

Ultimately, the plain white tee's say it better than I can.

1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than I’ve ever had
Make me feel better when I’m feeling sad
Tell me I’m special even though I know I’m not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
You’re the best that I’ve had
And I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
You make it easy
It’s easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
There’s only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
There’s only one way to say
Those three words
That’s what I’ll do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you



I love you. Happy Anniversary.
