Match Day!!








Today was Match Day (the day we find out where we got into residency)! I got my first choice of St. Marks! Yah!! What a relief. They kept building everything up and it made me nervous until finally let us get our envelopes with the blessed news. They make it so dramatic, it was kind of funny but hard because not everyone was happy. Unfortunately Nick could not be there since he is still in Bluff for school but he got the first call to find out the news! Our class is going all across the country it was really impressive!

Yay, Congrats! That is awesome you got your first choice and you get to stay in the state! You go girl!! Tim has been all over: Utah, Ohio, and now North Carolina! Fun to move all over but hard! My sis-in-law Melissa Petersen works at St. Marks. She's an RN on the ortho floor. Maybe you'll bump into each other!

How exciting! I'm glad things are falling right into place for you guys! It's so nice when that actually happens! Hopefully we will be back in Utah by next January. I am hoping to start right into U of U's Master's Program after graduation in December! And all I have to say about the "Logan Boys" bracket is GIRLS rule! Looks like 3 girls on top right now. Weren't we supposed to have married pretty athletic guys here? What's up Logan Boys? Hehe! Sucka's! :) Good luck with your residency!

Congratulations Leila! That's great that you got your first pic. I'm assuming that's in SLC. If not let me know where it is. What are your long term plans, once you're both done with all of the school stuff??
