DONE!

Andrew is officially D-O-N-E with residency and all training!!!!!!  After 12 years of grade school, 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency - he (more like we) is thrilled!

During the month of June, we had three different graduation dinners to attend.  The "joy" or greatest benefit of being Med/Peds is you have three parties to attend instead of just one, ha!  We had the Department of Pediatrics dinner, the Med/Peds dinner and roast, then the Department of Medicine dinner - did I mention that June was a busy month??.

Of course, we only took pictures at one of the three because pulling teeth is easier than taking pictures with Andrew.  Here is the one and only picture I was allowed of the us.

 

Hey -  it isn't the best, but it is proof that we can clean up.  I wanted a picture so we could complete the cycle of "MD training" - I have a picture of us from his White Coat Ceremony at the start of med school, med school graduation, and now residency graduation.  And we certainly won't notice the impact of the past 8 years on Andrew's hair line - nope instead we will notice that I have the exact same watch, ha!

The thought of him working 8 - 5, Monday - Friday is so foreign I don't even know what to think.  It is going to be a major transition for both of us in terms of actually having time to spend together on a regular basis...not to mention he isn't going to be sleep deprived half the year either! 

Now it is on to Board exams - once those are finished, he will be done with tests until he has to sit for Boards again in seven years, I think.
