End of April UPDATE........

 Hi everyone!!! I’ve moved out the majority of my things and only have two items left to sell: my dining room table and my daughter’s dresser. Someone just messaged me saying they’ll be picking up the dresser today; hopefully it works out!

At this point, I just need to replace the blinds, patch and paint over a few holes in the walls, and do a deep clean of both the inside and outside of the house. I also need to make sure the grass is cut, and then I’m officially done. Anything that doesn’t fit in our suitcases is going straight to the trash.

I do have one more shipment of our belongings going out this Friday, and I still need to get my TB test reading done for school.

I’m so excited. This is something I’ve worked toward for such a long time, and everyone knows how much I haven’t enjoyed teaching. I refused to stay and settle in a job that didn’t fulfill me just for a paycheck. I want to be challenged, I want to stay curious, and I always want to be working toward something meaningful. Being in a classroom just wasn’t the path for me.

I start medical school in 3 weeks!!!!!

Hi everyone!

I start medical school in just 3 weeks… OMG 😭✨ This still doesn’t feel real. My lifelong dream of becoming a doctor is finally happening, and I’m so excited (and a little overwhelmed, if I’m being honest).

Right now, I’m in full packing mode. I’ve been selling most of my furniture on Facebook Marketplace and have already made over $1,000 so far—which is amazing. If you’re trying to declutter, I definitely recommend it!

We’re also downsizing in a big way. We’re going from a 4-bedroom house (over 2,100 sq ft) to a 2-bedroom apartment that’s under 1,000 sq ft. That means a lot of things had to go—some sold, some donated, and some just thrown out. It’s been a process.

It really hit me recently that I’ll be moving every 2 years until 2030. That’s medical school, then clinical rotations, then residency… so I’m officially entering my minimalist era whether I like it or not 😅

Here’s what the next few years look like:

• Moving in 3 weeks for medical school
• Moving again in 2 years for clinical rotations
• Moving again 2 years after that for residency

So yes… 3 moves in 4 years 😳

But it’s not all work! During these 4 years, I’m planning to take 4 international trips—one each year—and then a big graduation trip to Asia 🌏✈️ I’m planning to visit multiple countries, and yes… it will be a solo trip (no Gianny this time lol). I might even squeeze in another trip after I pass Step 1—we’ll see!

I’ll definitely keep you all updated along the way.

Also, I know a lot of people have been asking, but I won’t be sharing which school I’ll be attending. For personal and safety reasons, especially concerning Gianny and myself, I need to keep that private. I appreciate your understanding 💛

Talk soon!!! 💕

One month until Medical School =)
