Big Decision

This was a big week for Ben. Not only did he finish his boards, he also signed a contract for his first real job! He will be starting next July with Kirksville Anesthesia Associates! I've always thought of this place as temporary, so it was hard for me to wrap my mind around staying, but I really think this is a good decision for our family. Ben and I always planned to go back closer to where we are from, but when this job opportunity came up, it was hard to say no. He loves everything about his job here. He loves all of the people he works with and he loves the opportunity he has to teach here. That's something that would be very hard, if not impossible, to find back in Kansas. Anyway, to all of you back home who thought, or were hoping we would be moving back--we are sorry to disappoint. But, I am so very proud of Ben. We are excited to start his career and make a home here.

You're right, I am sad BUT I'm excited for you and your family! Besides, that will give me an excuse to plan a family vacation to MO. You've always said St. Louis has a lot of free stuff. Now we just have to come and check it out! :) Tell Ben congrats from us!

We're so, so happy for you, Ben! We always knew it would be hard for you to leave the fishing and the turkey-hunting!

Well done!
Love,
Mom and Dad

Congrats Ben & family! I know that must have been a tough decision for you guys, but I'm glad it comes with great opportunities for you. I'm a little sad you won't be close to Hays, but this gives me a great excuse to take some time off work and take a little mini vaca!!! :)
