grateful and excited to be sticking around, especially with an incredible co-fellow Suzan R. Farris, MD plus our fave Jacob Stout

My favorite ex who I dated throughout my residency and most of my fellowship has moved on and is in love with this absolutely adorable RN at his work. Which brings me to:

Lesson #20
You are most at peace when the people you love are happy, not when you win.

Big time news I can’t help but post. I’m not usually one to post personal updates but this is too fantastic.
