Big Stuff

We have lots of big stuff happening in our neck of the woods lately.

First of all, our house sold! Our closing date is set for April 10th, and we will be able to rent the house back from the new owners until May 26th after Brad's graduation and the end of my school year. That is great news because we will only have to move ONCE! :)

In other news, today was Match Day, and we now officially know that Brad will begin his medicine career in Tupelo! We were 99% sure this is where he would match, but there's always that little bit of doubt. Since today is Match Day across the country, we've gotten lots of good news from all our other med school friends in other states. You probably know them, and I don't think they'll mind me telling, so I'll go ahead and break the good news. Britt and Shelley will be moving to Birmingham. Britt will be doing Internal Medicine at UAB. Taylor will be doing Medicine-Pediatrics at Vanderbilt in Nashville, so we were all so excited to find out that we'll be closer next year!

I wasn't able to get any good pictures during the Match ceremony, but I got some with our med school couple friends afterwards. Both Ashley and Scott will be moving with their wives to Tupelo, so we'll all still get to be together!!!
