Chris has been really busy this past year. Getting research after research project done, taking those never ending tests, serving others, and us. He has done an amazing job. Been an even more amazing Father, and Husband. He has been on the interview trail for the past two months. It has made for some long weeks and weekends. He was gone most of the month of October. So we are hoping and feel hopeful that everything will go well. It has definitely brought on some butterfly's and some stress into our home. We have been through the excitement of being asked to interview and then also the flip side of the sorry letters. I thought would get easier since we have done this before kind of thing. Coming to find out NO we are still human and have this natural part of us that probably wants acceptance from everything and everyone. Needless to say we are very please and feel very blessed to have been able to interview where we have. Chris just finished his last away interview with one more to go at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital where he is currently working. So in no particular order here are the options for our family.
In order of interview timing.Not rank!
UCLA- L.A., Ca
Casey- Portland, Or
Vanderbilt- Nashville, TN
New York Eye and Ear- Manhattan, NYC
UW - Madison, Wisconsin
University of Utah- SLC, UT
Wake Forest Baptist Hospital- Winston Salem,NC
I think we both feel we would be lucky to go to any of these programs. Retina Surgery is highly competitive, and they are saying the numbers of applicants increase by a ton this year. So honestly just matching would be awesome. The best part of being at the end of residency is if we don't match we can at least just move back west and get a job. So I am thinking WIN-Win situation. Preferably we hope to match and feel good about this happening.
I couldn't be more proud of Chris and all his hard work. We love you Dad! I am so grateful for your example to our kids of hard work, love, honestly, priesthood holder, and faithfulness to me. Love ya!
Where do you see us next July?
Match Day is December 8th.

Yea to making it thus far! Congratulations!
Good luck! I know the butterflys in your stomach feeling well! Law school was super stressful and then deciding what to do afterward was a hard time too. I would not want to re-do that! I'm sure whatever he ends up doing it will turn into THE place you were to go.
gee- can't wait to hear where you end up. definitely a crazy time of life for you guys. we will be there in about a year and can't wait. best of luck the next 6 months. keep in touch.
I see you in NY or UCLA. Opposite ends of the spectrum! And two places I want to come visit.
Good luck & Congratulations! You guys have come a long way. We are done with dental in 7 months, and trying to get a match for oral surgery. It's a long road, but it will be worth it in the end :):)
We're in the same boat so I know how you feel! Good luck. We can't wait to hear where you are going!

Good luck, I am so excited for you guys. It looks like you have some amazing options and that they are all over the map, I can't wait to see where you end up!
