Our Origin Story
What time of year was it when we met?
Winter
This is my exact coffee order at home these days.
Latte with 1 1/2 pumps vanilla syrup
This is our dream climbing destination
Greece or Thailand
The most stressful exam so far
MCAT
This is where we see ourselves living in five years.
Squamish, BC
Assiniboine Park
Something that overstimulates me immediately
Talking loudly for no reason when I am right beside you or chewing with your mouth open.
This is something that happens every time we go climbing at the wall together (sort of frustrating)
A specialty you have said you would never choose
Gynecology or Pathology
This is one goal we both quietly want
To be a power couple - strength and good careers
This was the location, time of day and vehicle where we realized we had sexual chemistry without kissing
In your truck parked at the end of the Seine River trail in the evening.
This is an essential item in our place we debated the longest getting.
Espresso machine
This is what i do when I am scared on a route climbing outdoors.
Cry and ask you to climb the route for me while complaining "I just can't do it"
This is a snack that is your staple during med school
Guacamole
This is something I want us to protect no matter what.
Our quality time together
This word, inspired by a Reddit explanation of Zelda, has become our official term for wandering aimlessly.
Splorin'
This is something small you do that means a lot to me.
Open doors for me or draw on my back
This was the climb that made me the most proud of you.
Even though I was not there - The Big Show
This is what I think your biggest strength as a doctor will be
Your ability to get simplify complex topics and make it easy to understand for people. Your humanity and compassion
This is what I think will challenge us the most in 5 years.
Navigating relocation and career growth at the same time
A recent situation I was in that made me realize I don't want to do life without you.
Sitting in your arms, playing hollow knight, feeling completely safe with and over the moon in love with you.
This is a specific unintentional habit of yours that drives me insane.
Tilting your screen towards yourself when we are playing NYT games.
This is the moment on a climb where I realized something important about us.
At the top of the Chief, I realized we can do hard things together.
Which of these is the minimal percentage of body weight loss that has been shown to decrease triglycerides, glucose and hemoglobin A1C?
3%-5%. Sustained weight loss of 3% -5% can decrease multiple clinical markers and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Greater weight loss results in greater decrease in clinical markers.
This is the reason I chose you
I chose you because you have always believed in us. You are the most committed, hard-working, strongest person I have ever met. I chose you because I saw your willingness to grow, to overcome selfishness and share your most vulnerable sides with me. I chose you for many reasons, but I will continue to choose you as long as we put in the work to continue our growth which I have more faith than I ever have, that we will. I love you so much and I have never been prouder of the person you have become and are becoming.
