If you think my hands are full, you should see my heart.--A

Thursday

One week till the MATCH!

Can it really almost be time? We have waited so long for this!

I know that God has a plan for everyone, but it isn't too often you get handed an envelope that gives you a glimpse of what he has planned for you for the next four years. In fact I can only think of one other time, your mission call.

You get this letter in the mail. Your whole family is waiting while you open it, and in just a few moments the anticipation is over and the excitement and worry starts to set in. At least we won't have to learn a language!

John and I have often felt like Oregon has been a mission for us. We felt very strongly about coming here, and can't tell you exactly why. We only hope that if we are to leave Oregon, we have learned and done what He sent us here to do. Oregon has been so good to us, we have meet amazing people who have changed our lives forever......I sound like I am saying goodbye! Lets wait at least until next week for that. After all it is only number 2 on our list!

So stay tuned for the big announcement! We open the letter at OHSU at 10am Oregon time. So I will try to post soon after we get home.

Anesthesia Residency will be challenging where ever we go. I am so glad it is in the Lords hands.

Can't wait to hear the news...and for my own selfishness, I hope you stay HERE! (Well, maybe in Beaverton so we are closer and maybe end up seeing eachother a little more often. :) )

yeah! I am so excited for you guys. That is a long road, and I am sure so good to be this far. My little sis and her husband are doing the same thing this next thursday. He is at Yale right now, but who knows where they will be going soon.
Good luck! I am excited to hear where you end up!
