It Has Begun...

....residency that is. On Friday Zach had his first official day of his intern year and today, his second and he actually has a day off tomorrow! I know, sad that I'm that excited about a day off, but I am. It's not going to be a normal thing anymore.
He WAS supposed to have Monday off, but Intern Year attacked and took that away ;) Ahhhh it already starts, fun. Oh well, tis life now.
The worst thing of all is trying to explain all his working to Aubrey. Don't get me wrong, Zach's always been one to work late and she's used to him and his over achieving ways(as am I), but this is different. Most of the time, in the past, Zach's been able to do a lot of work from home. He writes a lot(research papers, etc) and he could do that from home, even clock some hours in that way.
But now, he's at the hospital...and it's going to be ALL THE TIME. {see the previous post for the great pep talk he got from a fourth year resident}
And Aubrey asks for him, ohhhhhh, 50 times a day....at least. This girl loves her daddy and prays for him to come home every time she prays....dinner, nap time,etc.---sweet and heartbreaking all rolled into one.
Please pray for us if you think of it....it's going to be a long year and we're going to need it!

Jen! I tried to leave a comment on your last post but I don't know what happened...I love your moving truck haha! I am so sorry about Zach's schedule and how much you and Aubrey will miss him. Oh the "glamorous" life of a doctor's wife. I will be thinking about you guys and hoping that one day it gets better. Hope you are settling into Georgia okay!!

Love the shots of Zach and Aubrey. The last is my favorite. Dadd's girl! I love that she is praying for him to come home. How hard it is for kids to understand all that junk...
Poor kiddo. Are you living on a river? How cool. I think we as your blog readers need a complete tour... House, town, grocery.... Kidding about the last one. Sorry Zach is gonna have a lot of hours working. Praying for all of you.
