A Reason to Celebrate!!!

After 7 1/2 years of school (undergrad and dental school- it will be 8 come June), way too many days of not ever seeing Lane and at times feeling like a single Mom,  5 months of filling out the Ortho residency application, then Lane being gone for a month to attend his 9 interviews, and way to much much student loans to even talk about...

Not only did we MATCH, but we get to stay!!!!  I am beyond excited!!  So yeah we will have an additional 2 1/2 years of school, after June, for his residency but then he will be an Orthodontist!  Yahoo!

Congratulations to you guys as well. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I am such a baby when it comes to change but I figure if I survived moving to and living in Los Angeles...Portland will be easy! Can't wait to get this next chapter of our lives started! We will have to get in touch so we can get some advice on where to live and all tha good stuff.

Thank you so much for leaving a comment on our blog! It's nice to already know who Mike's classmates will be. I'm so glad to hear you love Oregon! I've never been to Portland before but hear it is gorgeous. And can I just say, your boys are adorable!!! So cute, every one of them. I have tons of questions so I would love to get in touch. Do you live in a suburb of Portland or Portland itself? Anyway, I look forward to talking with you. It was nice to feel like we already have some friends to talk with when we get there. :) Talk to you soon.

I hope you don't think this is weird... but we found your blog because my husband is going to dental school this fall and we are trying to decide where to go. He's narrowed it down to OHSU and Louisville and we need to make the decision quickly. If you don't mind talking about Portland with me, I would really appreciate it. My email is joceanne@gmail.com. By the way, your family is so cute and it looks like you guys have a lot of fun!
