we ♥ our attending

attending.
it feels so good to finally be able to say it.
in the medical world this means you are the one in charge. the big wig. the head honcho.
10 years ago, this day was only something we could dream about. a day completely out of reach.
we talked about it as "the light at the end of the tunnel". a thought that made the hardest days a bit more bearable.
the last decade was filled with ups and downs, sacrifices on all ends and learning to take it one day at a time.
it was a learning process to say the least and a lifestyle that was anything but easy to get used to.
learning to trust and depend on God took on an entirely different meaning. he was and is our rock through it all.
we made it. 10 years of training, 3 amazing little girls, a guy and a girl who are still head over heels for each other and one stud of a surgeon....God is SO good....we made it!!

barth...i couldn't be more proud of you. you exemplify what it means to be a doctor. the passion you have for your work makes it so evident that this is your calling..to help others heal and to impact their lives in the most positive way possible..i pray that God would continue to guide you in every aspect of your work and that you would never lose sight of the fact that you are where you are today because of Him. i ♥ u.

i took a few pictures of the girls and daddy. i love that you are the coolest thing ever to them, but i love even more that they have you wrapped around their tiny fingers...
