I’m Just So Proud of Us.
I woke up today still on cloud nine from our exciting news this weekend. Also, apparently happy news turns me into the kind of person who says things like “over the moon excited” and “on cloud nine.” So there’s that. But really-I’m just so happy.
I got up to get my coffee and cried actual tears of joy while it was brewing. Usually, any tears that happen before coffee are most definitely not fueled by joy, so that’s saying something. I was just so overjoyed by the thought of how far we’ve come.
What kicked my tears off at the Match Day ceremony was the dean talking about the white coat ceremony-the first medical school event (almost 4 years ago) where all the students received their first white coats. She talked about the emotion of that day, and I cried, because I was there with Chris, and I remember that day so well. And on Match Day, at the emotional, full-circle event, I was there with him again. We’ve been together through it all, and I’m so proud of us.
I woke up feeling so celebratory. We should celebrate! There should be champagne! And shopping! And movies! And cake! Then I felt silly, because Match Day was Friday, and we’ve already celebrated.
And then I felt stupid for feeling silly over that.
Because dreams coming true is worth celebrating. Sticking it out through the hard times is worth celebrating. Reaching your goals and not losing your mind in the process is worth celebrating. A good relationship is worth celebrating.
Guys, I think you should take time to be proud of yourself. Of your accomplishments. Of your relationships. You are amazing, and you are worth celebrating.
So bring on the champagne and the cake. Today, tomorrow, next month. I’m so proud of us, and that is worth celebrating.

I really love this upbeat message. I think we can all use some celebration in our everyday life. You shouldn't feel guilty for wanting to linger in happiness, in fact we should do it more often. You two look great. I'm so happy for you 🙂

I'm so happy for you!! I love all the positivity coming off your blog lately! It's definitely contagious. 🙂
So happy for you all! You definitely can celebrate anytime, any day! 🙂
I totally believe in celebrating all of life's accomplishments, big and small. I recently got my dream job and celebrated for a week straight, no shame! Pop the champagne, you both deserve it!
Chels! I am still so excited for you! God loves to delight us! I am so excited you are going to be close by…lets get our babes together soon xoxo
Love this! Because I agree. You should totally celebrate. Who says you can only celebrate once or for a set period of time? I think you should keep celebrating until you decide you're over it!
I am in awe of your ability to wear a crop top (cut out?) mere weeks after having a baby!!!
