the results are in


We are moving to Denver, Colorado!! I think we are in a bit of a state of shock! It's so crazy and overwhelming. We are really excited but I think are nervous about how all the details of the next couple months are going to play out but we are continuing to trust that this is all in the plan!


The match day ceremony was fun and super chaotic. The auditorium was packed full of my classmates and their spouses and families along with faculty and some of our fellow students who came to watch it all. There were 164 of us going through the match and they called names out randomly. When your name was called you came to the front and got your envelope and dropped a dollar in the bed pan (the very last person called got to collect all the dollars as payment for the agony of having to sit through it all!)

Here we are waiting...

But my name ended up being called like 10th out of 160!! it was SO early and off i went...


getting my envelople..

coming back...


finding out the news!!


so there it is! we are ecxited!
