We Matched!

Around 6:30 a.m. this morning I awoke to loud, hurried footsteps running up the stairs. John burst into our room exclaiming, "It's here!" Today (via e-mail) we found out where John's orthodontic residency is going to be, and I must say that it didn't come a minute too soon. It's all that John has been able to think about for months!

So, where are we going you ask? Think jazz music. Think Mardi Gras. Think food. Think hurricanes! Yes folks, we're moving to New Orleans! I can't believe it. I am scared silly and John is silly with excitement! Regardless, we are both excited to finally know where we are going and we're blessed to be going to such an incredible orthodontic program. John loved his interview there and couldn't stop talking about how great of a program it was and how much he wanted to be there! Better yet, it is only two years and it's actually one of the few programs that pays you a small stipend rather than charging you for tuition. Congratulations honey! All of your hard work has paid off!
