We MATCHED!!!

I can't even believe it as I am writing this but we MATCHED in VEGAS!! Actually we were still asleep when Heather called and told us she heard about the match (but she didn't spill the beans). So Ryan and I got online and checked it out and we were both stunned to say the least!! We honestly thought we were headed for deferment so didn't even think of today as a special day. This is so great because Ryan got his surgical spot that he has wanted ever since we started on this road. I just can't believe how proud I am of him and all his hard work it really paid off!


Everywhere he went he was being told just to be grateful for a spot in surgery and so we tried to keep level heads about the whole process. We are so thrilled and still in shock!!

**For those of you who are totally confused this means Ryan will be working his butt off in Las Vegas for the next 5 years!

Yahoo! I am soooo relieved you aren't going super far away. Vegas is just as close and cheap to fly to as Phoenix, plus I come there a lot for work so I hope I will be seeing you lots! Congrats to you guys. Can't wait to see you and the kids soon. Give me a call or email when you get settled! xo

Congrats you guys! I bet your families are so excited to have you close-ish! And what a great thing with this horrid economy! HOORAY!

Denise said...

Yes, I was confused. Your terminology helped by saying "he'll be working his butt off in Vegas for the next 5 years." Much more on my level. Congrats to ya. Good luck in Vegas!

Amy F. said...

That's so cool! Good job Ryan. Still close to family too, sweet!
My sister lives in Vegas, so I guess I'll have to come visit you guys.

Rich and Nickie said...

Hi Taya...it's Nickie Reeves. Congrats! I've been wondering where you guys were and what you are doing....and here you are....on the move again! That's so exciting that you know where you are headed. Come May after graduation we are not sure where we will be going. It's time to go job hunting..scary! Congrats on the upcoming arrival. How are you feeling? We just had our third last week. It's crazy to think back to when we were having our first babies...it doesn't feel like it's been long enough to be on our third. Well I hope all is going well for you guys...have a Merry Christmas.
