Things are too crazy and I am too tired to really write all that I could from this week. Gosh, maybe I should. But what is most important is to say I am more obsessed with, grateful for, and proud of Landon with every single passing day! He did it! He made it through residency. We did! WE made it through residency.
This weekend was fabulous. We hung out with family and forgot about COVID for a second and just spent time together. We couldn't have made it through residency without our siblings or parents. We couldn't have made it through without the Curtis family. We couldn't have made it through without weekly date nights. And we couldn't have made it through without our constant, sometimes distance or angry, reliance on God.
Big changes coming up for our family. We loved the people we got to know here in SLC. I was able to see and say goodbye too Angelina, Brealynn, Anna and Candace, North & Oskar. I wish we could have said goodbye to more people, but alas, covid. We LOVED downtown. We have a running restaurant list if anyone is interested. We will miss so many things about our little apartment and we will not miss so many other things. During Jaxson's tears tonight we listed all the things we would not miss. Wasps flying through the swamp cooler, one toilet, homeless people stealing our cars and living in the empty apartment, storage unit, shed or dumpster below us, the boys having to climb under or over the table to get to their seat, the dumpster.... to name a few. But those annoying things will become distant memories and really, we will more remember the cozy big open floor plan, the adventures we could go on because rent was so cheap, the simplicity of life, the ease of cleaning the house, the boys playing all together in the morning... the love we shared and the spirit we felt. Man this place has been good.
Oh gosh, I've now talked about the house more than Landon. I text a lot of the doctors he worked with to have them tell me their thoughts on Landon, they are below and they are the kindest. I really think Landon is an incredible anesthesiologist. But thats not what I love about him, I love that he put me and the boys first over all these years. And that is why we are leaving these four years stronger than when we came in. I married up!!!!
PS: Lacey, Landon's sister, made a little sign that said, "Congrats Becca" and I don't know why, but having someone acknowledge me, when Landon gets so much of the acknowledgement... I don't know, It just meant a lot to me. Landon also gave me the sweetest shout out today at the little open house I did for him. And I teared up. He sees me!
Olympus is my favorite mountain in Utah!!!!! My mom thinks Timp is the best. But I'm obsessed with this one. |
This made me feel soooo seen. Lacey is awesome and she was so sweet to consider me in all of this. I'm no doctor, but I'm married to one and that takes a lot of work. |
