Here is Eric with several of his classmates that he was good friends with, waiting for the festivities to begin.
FINALLY - he has the envelope in his hand! We still had to wait awhile until we could open it, though.
Tucson, here we come!
Jeremy and Kassie are headed to Provo for Family Medicine.
Santino and Polly are going to Phoenix for ENT.
David and Amanda are on their way to Phoenix, also, for Pediatrics.
Glenn and Claudia decided to have a baby that morning, so they aren't pictured, but they are going to Dallas for General Surgery.
Eric, Ian, and Kushal were the three in his class that matched in Orthopaedics.
We are so proud of all of our friends and their successes! We were blessed to be surrounded by wonderful people all along our journey. I got teary eyed as I was typing where everyone was going because we aren't going together. We have made lifelong friends that we will miss a great deal.
That night we all had babysitters and jumped on a bus to Austin for a dinner cruise on the lake, compliments of the med school. The food was great (even if they only had fruit for dessert!) and it was nice to relax with friends when all the stress was over. We didn't last long, though. Our group was all staring at each other and yawning by the end of it with a unanimous show of hands of who had kids up through the night. It was about 9:30. We're party animals!

Here is our "Meadowbend" group (minus Glenn and Claudia). We wouldn't have survived med school without them!

Congratulations, you guys did it!!!! The next step is here, woo-hoo!!! I am sure you are excited you will be closer to your family and can venture up to Utah!:)
Congratulations you party animals! What a good looking group from Meadowbend! It's too bad Claudia and Glen weren't there...I didn't realize they'd had their baby that day! You and Eric are such a cute couple. When are we going to hear about your cruise? :)
Congratulations! I love the pictures. I am so happy for you guys. I can't wait to hear about all of the new adventures that you are going to have. . . . But, I must admit that I can't help but think about the gun owners vs. doctors post you did a while ago. LOL.
What a sweet tribute the the clan! I did get a bit teary eyed reading. I realize we will all be going our separate ways in a month!!!! What! It isn't slowing down between now and then either. These party animals will have to party a bit together before we do part. Love you guys!
What a great post. I teared up a bit myself - mostly because I'm so excited for all of you. Match day was your reward for years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. Eric's awesome match is a tribute to both of you. Congratulations.
