David is officially a fourth year medical student. This whole experience has just flown by. We are now down to the fun part, trying to get a residency. So for the month of September David has been in Dayton OH doing an Audition Rotation, hopefully securing a spot there at that program. Fawn was kind enough to come watch our kids so I could drive with David from NV to OH. A 32 hour car trip. We left Friday mid-morning, drove to Denver, crashed, woke up early, drove to Indiana, crashed and then drove into Dayton. It was fun! I can't believe how relaxing it is to drive across the country with no kids. Sure our bums got tired from sitting, but it was just so nice to drive without crying, screaming, whining kids in the back seat.
Ohio is gorgeous. The neighborhood where David is staying is darling. I was instantly in love with the area. I never thought I would be excited about the idea of moving to Ohio but I kind of am. I know the winters will SUCK but I'm prepared for that (I think :) Anyways nothing is set in stone we won't find out where we will end up until February. But everyone loved David there, the program director and the attending doctor love David and told him several times that the spot is his. To bad we have to wait til the match and can't just sign a contract now. So much can still change by Feb.
Having David gone for a month was no walk in the park but we survived and it's wonderful to have him home again. It really did go by pretty fast though, Fawn came up twice, my mom and dad took turns watching my kids so I could fly back to Ohio for our anniversary and to really explore the area and see where we would want to live if we ended up there. The only hard time was the last three days just waiting for him to be back already. That drug on.
