It's Really Happening!

Today is a day that is a little bit nerve-racking for Brandon and me. With the click of a button, Brandon sent his application out to twenty-two residency programs. (Easy for me to say.) For about a month now we have been compiling a list of residency programs. He was told to make a list of about twenty programs that he would be interested in interviewing at for a residency position. We focused our list mainly on programs in the southeast and in cities that we were interested in living in. Coming up with twenty places was not easy and, believe me, not all those places I would enjoy living in, but we had to get the list up. Now that he has submitted his application, all we can do is wait to hear back from the programs for interviews. He will probably start hearing something in October. Please keep us in your prayers as we, especially Brandon, begin this process.
