The craziness calms down!


So, most of you may know, but John David has been traveling a lot the past almost 3 months. Interviews for residency started in November. He has only 4 more and will finish the end of this month. Yay! This has not only been physically tiring for him, but also draining on the finances. As much as we tried to financially prepare, it wasn't enough. So anyways, he has interviewed at the following places: Duke, Marshall, Arkansas, Gainesville, Chattanooga, Emory, Charlotte, Kentucky, Wake Forest, Memphis, Vanderbilt, and South. He has Greenville, UNC-Chapel Hill, Charleston, and Jacksonville left. So a grand total of 16. So you can see why I am very excited that this is almost over.
I believe we have to have our rank list in some time in February and Match Day is March 19th. That is when we find out where we are going.
I am very thankful for the next 2 months as they should be "normal"- I pray. After Match Day, we are going to Kenya for 1 month, get back the beginning of May. Then John David will graduate May 8-9. So as you can see we have A LOT coming up. We are very excited about the next few months.
As for Jeremiah, he is doing good. He will be 8 months old in a few days and very close to crawling. He is on all fours, bouncing and scooting. I just picked out a fun picture of him during a bath. He LOVES taking a bath!
