Match Day

This post is going to be a lot shorter than it ought to be.... but really I could ramble forever so lets keep it short and sweet.

All of our 4th year medical school friends now know their fate and where they are headed in just a few short months to continue their training. When it is all said and done they have all matched in programs and places that are a good fit and the Lord has taken care of all them.

This is our third year to go through match day. I cried when I went through our first match day and I had only known those girls a year and still keep in touch with most of them. To try to explain the dread of saying goodbye to the girls that have been my well everything.... my connivence store when I forgot eggs, my babysitter when I had an appointment, my workout partners to keep me lookin' hot, my playmates out at the playground, my hairdresser, my shoulders to cry on, my sisters and mothers when mine were too far away to help. K I have to stop cause well I can't see the screen through my tears anymore, but you get the idea. The thought of them all leaving breaks my heart.

Somehow there were never any other families that moved into the housing area that we live in that are in Ryan's class. Luckily there are few in the classes behind us, I hope I can be as much of a support to them and pass on the priceless knowledge I have gained from the ladies who have gone before me and them. My resident mama will still be around to keep me grounded. As well as my besty (at least for a while) that has the luxury of not having a husband go through medical school. She gets other adventures and has already been Sainted for her commitments and efforts =)

Below is a photo from match day of some buddies that are going to missed!
