So bloody proud!

Hubby is done with residency and I'm soooooooooooooooo proud of him that my heart could just burst with pride! I can't believe he's finally done. To think that when we first moved here, we didn't know anyone, were struggling to find our way around town, and getting used to the racist comments that were thrown our way.

Now he will get to earn the money he deserves after 10 years of school + training (actually 8 lah coz he took 2 years off). I feel so much a part of the hard work he has gone through this past 3 years. I was with him when he applied for the positions, attended interviews and 'first look weekends'. I was home alone when he was on call every 2 nights and there for him when he was stressed out and could not stop ranting about work and the lazy co-workers he had, or the inefficient system they were forced to use. I got to see him grow into a mature person and a more tolerant human being, a better listener and a better provider.

But I also feel bad coz I was not a perfect wife. I was upset when he wanted to spend more time on extra activities at work. I asked him to stop whining when I could not take any more of his stressful rants, I gave him a hard time when he was unable to take time off for vacation and I sometimes forgot to do the laundry so much so that he didn't have any clean underwear to wear to work. heeeeeeeeeee bad wife!

But all of that has come to this. Our parents flew in for his graduation lunch and we saw how loved he was by the staff at his workplace. We saw how much all the other residents sacrificed a lot for the job too. We saw hubby awarded with not just one, but two different awards. I tell you, it took me every ounce of energy in my body not to jump up and down for joy and shriek with delight!

But in all of that, it humbles me that we've been blessed by Him. It makes me want to be a better mus|im and a better person.

Sayang I'm so proud of you!
