Final Countdown

We are here--exactly one week from today is MATCH DAY! At 1 pm, eastern time, next Thursday we will open an envelope that will tell us where our little family will be living for the next 4 years. We are super excited and anxious for that day to come. We are ready to start making plans for the next chapter in our life. . .as soon as we find out where we are going we can begin! (Of course, we can't totally move on until our house is sold but hopefully that will happen within the month too!)
Assuming we do in fact "match" into a residency program, we will end up in one of these 10 places (the 10 we interviewed at):

(They are in alphabetical order, not as they were ranked in our rank list--that way, wherever we end up you can just assume it was our #1 choice!)

Duke University (Durham, NC)
Eastern Virginia Medical School (Norfolk, VA)
Medical University of South Carolina (Charleston)
Phoenix Integrated Residency
St. Joseph's Medical Center (Denver)
University of Arizona (Tucson)
University of Colorado (Denver)
University of New Mexico (Albuquerque)
University of Utah (Salt Lake City)
University of Washington (Seattle)

Brad has worked VERY hard these last 5 years of medical school and for his Master's Degree. We certainly hope it all pays off!

Wish us luck and we will of course share the news with you all when we find out next Thursday!
