Long Distance Marriage: 6-Month Check-In

January 9, 2017 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

Hard to believe a little over 6 months ago was one of the saddest days of my life. The one that consisted of waving goodbye to the hubster, quietly shutting the front door, silently sitting in my now emptier living room and crying, while simultaneously stuffing my face with any food within 10 feet of […]

Been quiet ’round these parts, eh? Hasn’t been too long, but there’s a big ol’ reason why. Brace yourselves, this is big news. Nope, not pregnant. Sorry, mother-in-law, co-workers, gal pals, and that random grocery store bagger. My husband got matched for an ER residency. WTF is a match, you say? I’ll break down med […]

Take Care of Yourself Amidst the Chaos. Do it.

January 24, 2016 By Caroline Peterson 8 Comments

I found out some news about 6 days before I left for the other side of the world on a trip I had been planning for months. It was the type of information that’s life changing; the kind that makes you feel like you’re walking outside your body for days on end. I couldn’t eat […]
