A Successful Match!

So John just received an e-mail telling us that we have matched! WAHOOO! Now we simply have to wait until this Thursday to find out who wanted us most! Why do they let you know if you have matched? Because if you didn't, you then have to participate in what is called the scramble. This is where you and your school find out the programs that didn't have all their spots filled, and you "scramble around to all those programs trying to fill those spots. Stressful! But luckily we don't have to worry about it!

So until Thursday, you can wonder along with us where we are going to go. Here is our rank list, although I warn you after number four I am not sure what we put.

1. Utah
2. OHSU (Oregon)
3. Mayo Clinic Arizona
4. Penn State University
5. Loma Linda California
6. UC Davis (California)
7. Dallas Texas (Brain fart on the exact name)
8. Virginia Mason (Seattle)
9. Arizona University

No to Colorado Jen. It wasn't in the Lords plan.

Now let me just explain to those who I haven't told one hundred times. Anesthesiology is a four year program. Most of the programs I listed above are three year programs(Minus Penn State). Your first year CAN be in a different place. John and I actually feel pretty strongly that we will be heading to Spokane, Washington for the first year...but we will see what Heavenly Father has in store for us! I don't know very well what we listed after our first four, because we feel because of letters and other things that we will probably end up at one of our top four....but again the Lord may be laughing at all we think we know and all that he has in store for us! Let the journey get here so we can begin!

PS HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
