Match Day!

Jon & I have been waiting for this day for 4 years now! Today was the day we found out where Jon got matched for residency. The last few months have been difficult b/c we knew we were moving but just didn't know where. We are moving to Indianapolis in May for 1 year where Jon will do his transitional year (prelim year of general medicine) at St. Vincent's Hospital in Carmel. This should be a fun year b/c Jon's brother Geoff & family live there. Madelyn & Ansley are going to LOVE being close to their cousins! We plan on renting a house or town home & taking advantage all the fun stuff Indy has to offer. In Spring 2010 we're moving to Winston-Salem, NC for 4 or 5 years where Jon will do his radiology residency at Wake Forest University. Wake Forest was Jon's 1st pick...I am so proud of him for getting matched there! I didn't go with Jon on this particular interview so I only know what others & the internet have said about the city. My mom used to summer there as a kid, apparently I have distant relatives there. Jon says it was one of the more family oriented programs he interviewed at (most of the residents & doctors have kids, there's a strong spouse group, & the city in general caters to families). This will be an adventure for our family indeed. I am looking forward to the life we will build there together!


Before leaving for the ceremony...nervous, anxious, & excited.


Everyone opened their envelope at the same time...oh the anticipation!


Yay Jon!
