The results are in!!

Well, after four long years of school...we are just about finished.  Sean passed his step 2 board in January, which was a huge sigh of relief and kept a smile on my face for a week.  This week we got the next step finished, which is where we will go after graduation in May.  We were not picked up with the military like we had hoped for a residency, instead Sean will do a transitional year in a civilian program.   The transitional year will be spent rotating through the more common areas of medicine.  ie. ER and internal med.  Then next fall we will find out if we are going to spend the rest of residence in a civilian or military program...depending on what the military wants.   Hopefully that explains everything well enough.  So with no further adue, we will be spending the next year in....  CALIFORNIA! 

Sean will be working at Downey Reginal Medical Center, in a city called Downey, of course.  It is outside of LA and nice and close to Disneyland.  The girls are excited because we told them we'll be living really really close to Disneyland.  Of course we're going to try and get the season passes, shoot living that close I think we'll use it up. 

Now the next challenge is making sure we find good and as inexpensive housing as possible.  We won't be moving till the end of May, so we have time. 

We are really excited to be moving on the next step of this journey.  I started thinking it would never end...but look, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally showing.  : ) 

P.S. The picture is off the hospital website so I assume that is what it looks like.  ha ha
