The Glad Game

I was asked a little over a month ago to write a guest post for a blog called The Graduate Wife.  This blog was created by a couple of wives of graduate students who wanted to build a community for women in the same situation as them, following their men around the world, helping to chase their dream.  I was honored to be asked to write for them, and a little intimidated too. 

I am not a writer.  I was a science major in college.  My blog is NOT so that I can get noticed and become a full time blogger.  In fact, it's written mostly so that my family and friends at home can keep up with what Josh and I are doing on a day to day basis and secondly so that I can have a written record of our years in medical school.  So I did the only thing I know how to do, I wrote from my heart.  It may not be award winning journalism or an essay that would earn me an A+ in an English class, but it is totally me, from beginning to end.

As the wife of a medical student, I struggle all the time with feelings of loneliness, homesickness, and sometimes even resentment.  But in the past year or so, I have found that finding something, anything, to be "Glad" about in any given situation can really help keep me in a better state of mind.  I have made lots of new friends here in Grenada that are struggling with these same kinds of issues and I urge them to check out my GUEST POST on The Graduate Wife.  My hope is that it might help another medical school wife or graduate wife with their struggles too.

First Feature!!!

Hey Friends! Guess what?! Today I was featured on my new friend Cat's blog BUDGET BLONDE.  I've been following this blog for quite some time.  She has great tips on living your life on a budget as well as some amazing DIY projects and crafts!  I have never seen anyone besides my other Grenada friend Kelsey who can literally turn nothing special into something extra special.

On top of that, her hubby is also here at SGU in Grenada and she just moved here a couple of weeks ago! So not only are we blog friends, but we are now real life friends!  She is from Louisiana and is such a sweet southern belle.  I can't get enough of her adorable accent. And to top it off, she's just as nice and upbeat in person as she seems on her blog.

Anyway, she's featuring one of my previous DIY projects that I posted about for our one year anniversary this past June. You can read about it again on her blog HERE.  This is a very exciting day for "The Scurlock Scene!"  We are moving up in the world! :)
