Brag blog = blag?

My self esteem is faltering due to a "challenging" work situation, so I am here to brag about my life so that I feel better. I mean, blogs are only really good for 3 things: 1. Complaining 2. Bragging 3. Awesome Youtube videos. I might as well be up front about it; this is a brag post.

Last time I wrote was in March...

Since then I:

1) Got back into coaching and loved it



2) Toasted my big brother at his wedding



3) Finished up rotations and became Dr. Reamsnyder





4) Studied my arse off and passed the boards to become Jacob Reamsnyder, R.Ph... and joined a so-highly-esteemed profession



5) And whilst I complain about the stresses of my job, it has allowed us to rapidly progress onto the next Life Project... coming to you ~April 2012, Castle Reamsnyder will be completed



Also went on a crazy vacation with friends, had a blast at the McGinty clan reunion (120 Scottish people, booze, and McKaraoke? Yes please!), and lost 45 pounds.

In fact, just to show how backwards Team Reamsnyder does things, we are down a collective 85 pounds since the wedding-
Before:





Kinda gross, right? I can assure you that I publish the above pictures without Megan's approval. I will be punished for this.

and... After:



Ahh yes, MUCH sleeker
- Some people count pounds or inches... we are both excited to be back down to a single chin each.

Anyways, when I look at where I am in life compared to this same time a year ago, it is rather surprising to see how much has changed. I'm happier, healthier, married, gainfully employed, and confident in my direction in life. Last year I watched my money evaporate from educational costs, while this year I'm... still watching my money evaporate, but at least now its for COOL BIG things that I get to keep.

But as we all know, the further you go in life, the more you end up right back at the beginning...
