My boyfriend is a surgeon and has been teaching me how to do stitches on his practice pad.

Yesterday my dog got attacked by a coyote and ended up with a bad bite mark :/ but instead of taking her to the vet he handed me a syringe, numbing solution, and suture needle and sent me back home. Then I did it all by myself!

Being with him has been wonderful. He is an amazing person all around but today I am especially reminded of how much he has helped me grow as a person.

He pushes me to give 100%, he has incredibly high standards, and at times is like a drill sergeant. But because of him so many areas of my life have been improved. I try hard every day because I know I have to keep up. I can never be lazy when he is working so hard.

I guess my point here is that having an awesome man, someone you think is Superman, makes you a better person. I'll never be as cool as him, but today he is impressed with my work.

Today I got some respect from my man. I bet he is even going to go brag to the other doctors at his work tomorrow and show him a picture of the perfect stitches.

Feels good.

This one is a keeper.
