Westward Ho!

Today was the day! Matt matched for fellowship in Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery. We are headed to his #1 pick...Rady Children's Hospital in SAN DIEGO!!! A picture of it is below...I must admit my focus was on the palm trees!





I am beyond excited and so incredibly proud of Matt! He has another year of residency here in Greenville, then we will head West to start fellowship August of 2013. So, that means you have one year to visit us in SC, then the following year to come see us in sunny Southern California! San Diego is beautiful and has SO much to offer for families, is in close proximity to picturesque La Jolla and only two hours for Los Angeles! Plus, hotel del Coronado is there! I must admit last time I was there I was single, spent my time clubbing downtown and hitting Jamba Juice mid-morning. I will have a much different experience this time around ;) Please join me in congratulating Matt on this HUGE accomplishment and say a prayer that our transition will go smoothly. This will include selling a house, finding affordable housing in pricey San Diego, locating quality schools for our children, and setting up everything in between. For now we will bask in our daydreams of the California sun and Matt's achievements!

Congratulations Beth! Maybe I'll get to see you while you live in San Diego. We seem to take a trip to So-Cal about once a year. And you are always invited to take a road trip to SLC and stay with us. Especially if you decide to undertak a road trip to MO, SLC is a good stopping point.
