Match Day

Match Day is something we've been waiting for for a LONG time.  Months.  Literally.  Geoff's school throws a big party and families and friends are there from all over as all of the soon to be M.D.'s open up their letters, telling them where they will be doing their residency.  It is an emotional time, and you can feel all the dedication and sacrifice of so many people!  It was so neat.  As each person's name was called people would cheer, whistle and encourage each person.

Here is our family shot as we are.....WAITING, WAITING, WAITING to open the letter.  Geoff was in the last 10 to open!  It felt like forever!  They read over 200 letters before they called his name!

I wish this picture captivated his smile.  It was from ear to ear.  When he read, "The Wood family will be moving to Massachusetts," he was just grinning!

I ran over to greet him from the stage and my friend caught us kissing in the shot below!

So be it.  We are now preparing to enter a new leg of our journey!  We are excited, nervous, and all READY for visitors!  So COME to Boston and see US!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and if you know anyone that is moving to San Antonio...tell them to buy our house (or our friend's!)! 

Geoff is thrilled with his program and all that UMASS offers him.  He is already excited about a paycheck, life flight, sleepless weeks, and hands on time doing what he loves.

So like I said--come to BOSTON, but visit us in our home...not in the ER! ;)
