Anna, Janice and Ella
Hey everyone... Anna had her graduation banquet on Saturday eve. This means that she's unofficially done with residency. "Unofficially" because she's got 2 more shifts. It was a great evening, with good food/drink and good people. Dr. Martha Goetsch gave a nice speech in Anna's honor highlighting her long road to and through medical training.
Highlights of that speech:
Anna picking a perfect specialty in medicine as she was born on Labor Day
How Anna's time in Sierra Leon made her want to be a doctor
The fact that Anna doesn't "suffer fools lightly," except for her choice in husbands (I had to head Philps off at the pass on that one)
Anna's wilderness EMT training, which was followed by 6-months teaching adaptive skiing... "she'll for sure make more than $50 per month and a free ski pass now"
(WE'RE DONE!!!!)
Unfortunately Anna seems to have gotten the flu and is completely zonked out in bed... she missed work last night (which took an act of congress.) Thanks to Jen K, Jenny Mayo, and Renee for covering her shift. She seems to think she'll be able to work tonight, but she looks like death warmed over... so we'll see how that works.
We'll be moving out of the house Wednesday and Thursday this week, and turn the keys over to the new owner on Friday... wish us luck with all the moving stuff.
I've attached a few pics from banquet.

ooops.double post....
OK, so this is the first time I have even looked at a blog, much less commented on one. Again Matt, you have expanded my horizons. So, according to the "itinerary" you three are handing over the keys to the house tomorrow, then the board, then you are off to visit family before the big trip. I look forward to checking back here from time to time to hear about the incredible summer you and your family has planned. Thank you for inviting me to follow. Sounds like you guys are making a difference one state at a time. Take care, and of course, safe travels!
