I wanted to take a moment and say congratulations to Matt. After four years of medical school, three years of internal medicine residency and three years of Heme/Onc fellowship, he is finally done with his training and about to begin his first real job at the age of 35. It has been a long, long, long road (yes, three longs is correct--it's been LONG!), and he has never once complained (not even during his surgery rotation in medical school when he was at the hospital at 4 am, not during his Q3 and Q4 call months, and not during his BMT months). He genuinely loves his job and loves taking care of his patients. He has a passion for medicine and his patients are lucky to have him for a physician. He managed long hours at the hospital and still always had time for me and the kids. He often got up early in the morning with the kids so I could sleep in, even when he was post-call and needed sleep more than I did. He would take Jack to daycare when I was pregnant with Elizabeth so I could have a few minutes to myself in the morning to get ready. He added extra moonlighting shifts to his busy schedule so we could have extra money.
Matt, we love you and are so proud of you and can't wait for the next 6 weeks to have fun as a family.

Do you have a little time before the new job starts? That's WONDERFUL. It is such a lot of work, isn't it? Sometimes along the way it was hard to pay attention to what was happening at the time instead of talking so much about what came *next*. Hope you're getting settled in in the new place...
Congrats Matt and Jeanna!!! It is an accompishment for both of you. We are getting so close I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel, so crazy.
