Life After School

So I have had a couple of people asked what we are doing after graduation so here it is.
Brad got accepted to a GPR in Allentown...for our dental student friends, Owen and Ryan are in this GPR now. While it was really tough when we did not match in pedo this year, we are excited to see what the next year holds. A big thanks to Owen for talking to Brad about the GPR and the director of the program!
We don't know where we are going to live yet but we are trying to figure that out as soon as possible. Brad is going to re-apply to pedo next year so we are gearing up for the application process and all the money and stress that come with it.
Brad is such an optimist and always tries to find the good in a bad situation (a quality I lack) and has really been a good example to me of how to handle the curve balls in life.
This is certainly not what we had in mind...but thinking back...all the really good things we have after 5 years of marriage were certainly not perceived as 'great' at first, but have later proved to be the biggest blessings. So we get to wait another year and enjoy another wild ride. Brad keeps things interesting in our life...thank goodness because I am a real dud!

Katie, you are not a dud! In fact, I find you quite interesting, and so easy to talk to. It was good to read your posting, because I tend to really hate this past year, and I know that in the long run it was probably the best thing for our family, and will be a blessing.

That's great news. It all seems to work out one way or the other...it just stinks going through the process. You guys are such a great couple...just watch out for those car thieves up in Allentown!

I'm sure the time will fly and before you know it Brad will be a Pedodontist and you'll look back and it will all be worth it. I hope you have a great experience in Allentown!
