Where will we be?!?!?

Most of you know that Ryan is about to graduate from med school on June 1st... (yes, the wedding is June 6, so this will be a crazy time for us!) I came to Philly thinking that this is where we would be for his residency. Which is still true, we may be here in Philly for the first four years. BUT, as we have been living here we are more and more wanting to move back to the midwest. Which is really exciting! Right now this whole residency process is really overwhelming for the both of us, but especially Ryan. He has been going on interview after interview in all different places!

We could end up in:
Dayton
Toledo
Indianapolis
Philadelphia
Augusta, GA
Conneticut
Syracuse
Rochester
Just to name a few!

He has been traveling all over interviewing and so far, they have been going really well! We won't know where we will end up until the middle of March. Which is when it will get really crazy because we will be finishing up wedding plans while possibly looking to move again! (you're prayers and support are SO welcomed! hahaha)

Of course we have our number 1 and number 2 choices of living but it is so impossible to tell where we will get matched up at. It's a pretty complicated, computerized process!

Other than that, things are well... It's the beginning of winter here and it's pretty brutal. Not so much snow as it is wind and freezing out! I'm going to post a picture of our first christmas tree later as well... Ryan lives about a half mile away from me and we don't have too much cash flow right now so I had to get creative, which I'm pretty proud of, not gonna lie. So I look forward to sharing that with you all!

Anyways, Ryan is watching some football, so I think I will go and join... Colt's play tonight!!!! And it's actually televised out here this week!

Ryan's folks chiming in. We drove to the Ohio/Indiana border last week to celebrate Ryan's Birthday just before his last interview for next year's residency. This last interveiw was in Dayton, Ohio which is not that far from Marion, Indiana. We are so pleased to discover that Aubrey and Ryan are thinking they are "Midwest" folks.

And now is a good time for us to brag on our future daughter-in-law. Ryan is a neat guy but we knew he would need a person just like Aubrey to journey through life with. And God has led him to a friend who is not only level-headed, but creative and adventuresome and compassionate. We could not be happier that they will share a common faith in Christ and a deep commitment to quality family life while blending two careers. Now we are hoping the minister doesn't choke up during the ceremony!!
