The decision has been made!!!

Spencer has FINALLY made THE BIGGEST DECISION OF HIS LIFE!!! Just kidding. I was trying to be dramatic. To be honest, at times it felt like the biggest decision of our life. For the past 5 months we have been seriously debating between Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. I won't go into the details of the debate because it would turn into a book. SERIOUSLY. I'm pretty sure we debated every aspect of each field. But, we made our decision and it is..........


INTERNAL MEDICINE!!!!

We are both really excited about it. We both feel good about our decision and have been looking at Residency options. It's crazy--we start applying for residency in June. It's been fun to look at different schools and areas we may possibly be living in starting Summer 2012. We've come up with 15 schools ranging from UW all the way to Duke. Looks like we could be anywhere. We have been praying that we will be sent to the best place for our family as well as the best place for Spencer to train. The matching process is kind of crazy (I will go into more details later) but I KNOW that Heavenly Father will send us to the best spot for our family and for Spencer. He helped us out with Med School and will do the same with Residency. We both are looking forward to another adventure when that time comes. As for now, we are thoroughly enjoying living in Boise with our family and friends.

I took this picture last night. I was making cookies for Mutual and I thought Spencer was reading with the boys. I came into our room to find Reece reading Spencer's Microbiology made Ridiculously simple book and Benson jumping on the bed. Spencer did wake up shortly after this picture thanks to Benson using Spence as a trampoline. I think Spence is a little tired. The poor guy has learned to function on a high level with little sleep. 30 hour shifts every 4 days for 5 weeks is starting to catch up with him.

For some reason, I totally missed this post until now. I'm so happy you've decided! I'm sure it's the perfect choice for your family! Now if I could only get Brad to make a final decision...
