Emotional Deposits

Medical School = The Land of Many Loans

Not just financial loans either.

A few months ago when the words 'subsidized' and 'variable interest rates' were becoming all to common in our household I started to think about other things we are probably going to be short on.

Time together.

Attention.

Romance.

Vacations.

Money loans are scary, but at least they are somewhere to turn when you don't have enough of something, right?

SO: We decided to make a little (actually a BIG) deposit in the marriage bank. We quit our jobs early and have spent the last 6 weeks travelling around, visiting our families, relaxing, and enjoying each other. We have literally spent every second together.

It has been wonderful, and we have been able to build up a pretty fantastic reserve. We'll be running short by next summer, I'm sure, but no worries, by then we'll be able to make some more deposits.
