It's Official!

Well, it's official now. The Osteopathic match came out today and (even though many of you already knew this) we will be staying in Kirksville for four more years. Ben got this email today:

This message provides you with your Match result for the AOA Intern/Resident Registration Program for positions beginning in 2008.

Congratulations!

You have been matched to:Institution: NORTHEAST REGIONAL MEDICAL CTR

Program: ANESTHESIOLOGY


Yay! So now we know for sure and I know Ben is so relieved and excited to be able to do the specialty that he wants. He loves all of the anesthesiologists and residents here, so he will be very happy.


We also got his graduation gown in the mail over the weekend. Graduation is almost here!! I wanted Ben to put on his gown to take a picture, but he absolutely refused.....even though I begged. So here's the best I could do. Doesn't he look thrilled? He did promise me that I could take as many pictures as I wanted on graduation day and that he would smile.....so.....I'm holding you to that, Benj!
