Match Day..... Round TWO

Today was the big match day!!! And Riverside Hospital, right here in C-bus is where we matched. YEAH!!!! Kind of a bit anti-climatic for us (since we were the lucky ones who found out two months ago where we are going for residency) but still exciting. We still got to be included in all the fun festivities and celebrations though because we matched for our transitional year today. At Ohio St they have a big assembly where they give all the med students an envelope containing their fate for the next 4 years and they make everyone wait to open them all at the same time. I was actually more excited to hear where all of our friends were going since we had a pretty good idea we would be sticking around here for this next year. I am so happy and excited for everyone that matched! Congratulations to all!

As happy and exciting as today was for everyone, it is also a bit sad. Over these last four years we have been fortunate to have so many wonderful friends and I am going to be very sad when everyone moves away. We have had such a great time out here all through med school and it is strange to think that it's almost over. We are really going to miss everyone!!! (Luckily a few of our friends matched in Columbus so we don't have to say goodbye to everyone just yet.)

Okay, this is a really random picture but it is too funny not to post. After we got home from all the parties today the sun was still shinning and it was like 45 deg!!! Which in the words of Jessica Olsen, "40 is the new 80" (at least for us northerners that have had a long winter.)
Anyways it was pretty nice out so of course we had to play outside and this is the outfit that Ethan came up with, all by himself. He found those awesome glasses earlier in the day and would not take them off. He loves that they are heart shaped and rockin' one lens. I just couldn't stop laughing at how funny he looked in them.
