Congratulations, DOCTORS of the class of 2010!

The event about 20 years in the making has finally occurred: I graduated medical school! (Que choirs of angels)

Now I actually have to focus on the next part of my journey: moving to Erie for residency.  I'm very excited to begin my internship at a hospital that seems more dedicated to mental health than any of the places I've worked before.  Monkey is enrolled in a good school 2 blocks from our house and the hubby has found a job that will let him work from home 90% of the time (very valuable for nights I'm on-call!).  So everyone has something to do when we get there.  Yay!

For the actual move itself, we are pretty set.  We have hired a full-service moving company that will pack and load our stuff, drive the truck, and unload our stuff.  The hospital will reimburse part of the moving costs, so it offsets the money spent on a full-service move as opposed to doing it ourselves.  All we need to do is pack anything we don't want them to take, be home when they pack, load, and unload our stuff, and get ourselves to Erie.  The major downside is anything they take, we don't see for about 1 week.  They pack it on a Monday and unload it on the following Tuesday or Wednesday.  I'm am looking very forward to this!!

And in case you were wondering through this whole where the 20 years came from, I've been working towards being a doctor since the 2nd or 3rd grade.  My mom swears I wanted to be a veterinarian first, but I'm guessing that was when I was in kindergarten...
