Stress...

Sorry again for the delay....life has been busy and somewhat stressful as match day approaches in less than 3 weeks. Yikes! I'm so ready for it to be over! For reasons I don't want to get into now...Zach's number one choice, University of Louisville, had to pull out of the match and won't be taking residents this year. Needless to say this was very disappointing and Zach has had to restructure his rank list accordingly. As of now this is where his list stands:

1. University of Louisana-Shreveport
2. University of Mississippi
3. Case Western University (Cleveland)
4. University of Rochester (NY)
5. George Washington (DC)
6. University of Missouri
7. University of Maryland (General Surgery position, not Neurosurgery)

However, we did have a wonderful Valentine's Day in Charlotte!!! Driving those cars was amazing and Zach had a really great time.


This is the Lamboghini that we got to drive and it was really fast and scary and a pretty tough car to drive Zach said. The whole tour was awesome and I would highly recommend it!! The guy who runs the program is an anesthesiologist from Charlotte who bought these cars and started this company in November. Everyone who works for him is really cool and they let you have fun driving the cars on the open road without any rules and regulations. You follow a lead car but they drive just as crazy and fast and fun! We were going 110 in a 45mph zone at one point and really got to see what the cars do.

Slight change of plans for Zach and I the next 3 months. I finish Surgery in less than 5 weeks and then have a week off. We are hoping to head to where Zach's matches and house hunt that week...yay!! Then I start an elective for 3 weeks and on April 24th we are going to Vegas for 3-4 days to hang out with the Till side of my family because my cousin is getting married out there. Since the OB disaster happened and I have to wait to do it until August, I needed a rotation in May so I'm actually going to do Family Practice in Utah at the clinic where Zach's dad is a Physician Assistant. So after Vegas, we'll drive up to Salt Lake and spend the month with his parents. Zach is going to help his brother renovate his home and it'll be nice to spend a month with everyone out there because when he starts his residency who knows when we'll ever get out there??

Shocking that Obama is speaking again tonight...I'm sick of all the doom and gloom and his solution being to spend money and bail out companies that were irresponsible to begin with...AND it's cutting into The Biggest Loser...sheesh!!
