hi. my name is brooke and my husband is in med school

They say admitting it is always the first step.

Well, this is my first time posting on here so let me take just a teeny second to introduce myself. I'm Brooke, newbie to the med school life & newbie to the blog. I'm married to this guy, Freeland:

We were married September 22nd 2007. So just less than a year ago. He just started his first year of med school at LECOM last week. We moved up from Texas for med school but also because these 2 crazy kids were here:

Camille was nice enough to invite me to write and ramble on this blog that some girls up here started. They all started the blog a while ago and even though I knew at that point we would be moving up north & starting med school I decided to wait until school actually started to post anything. Maybe I secretly wanted to avoid thinking through school starting.. I'm not sure. Either way it has started and here I am sharing my thoughts with the world now.

So, this blog was originally started to be a community of people sharing their thoughts, wisdom, suggestions, etc. and that’s what I intend to do. When I knew Freeland was going to start med school I did look for books, do Google searches, and start asking everyone else about being a wife of someone who is in med school & I didn’t really find anything. I wanted to. I wanted to read what others went through, what it was like for them, how they handled it, or anything to give me an honest perspective. I didn’t really find anything. So I think this blog is a great idea.

BUT let me preface all that by saying this.. Because this is supposed to be a little community of wives sharing what its like to be married to a medical student - I fully intend to be as honest as I can. I'm no writer. I don’t really know much. And I'm new to this whole thing - so please be kind. Being honest on a blog doesn’t seem like it will be easy. I don’t have the time to sit and write and explain or defend myself .. So lets have open minds people! K? thanks. It will make it much easier for all of us! :)

All that to say.. I will be posting my thoughts & experience during med school & what its like being a trophy wife {just kidding wanted to see if you were still reading} here for the world to read if they so please. Its been a really fun transition so far. Strange at times but exciting also. I will post more shortly on all my thoughts going into this thing called med school. Until then, happy Tuesday.

Brooke
