We started this medical journey when Maddix was 18 months old.
We traveled 32 hours to Poland for the first time, and began our life there for a wonderful and challenging 2 years.
From here we rushed back to the States so Aaron could be born in the U.S.A and Travis and I began our next two years of living mostly apart, except for that short time he lived with us and studied 12hr days as he prepared for his board exams.
In these two years I worked and took care of the kids while he lived in Poland with out us, back with us, Louisiana, with us, and then to New York with out us before we could come be with him.
And then New York was the BEST chapter we've had together as a complete and reunited family. We kicked and screamed as the Lord forced us to go there; however, I can just picture him in Heaven going, "You guys, trust me; this is the reward for what you've been through, not another trial."
I can't express what those 14months there meant to us after living apart an in other family's homes for so long. It was the first time we really thrived as a family on our own... and being in NY was the cherry on top.
And then, our journey took another surprise when on Match day we soared high to find out we matched, were for sure we were headed to Arizona, and then that Friday when we saw we were coming to Iowa, and we couldn't imagine how that would be!
And now we're here.
At this moment.
Last week we attended Travis's Residency dinner where we said goodbye to the graduating class and and Travis and his Class became the new Senior staff.
It will be one year from that night that we close the book on these medical chapters of our life... and in a way, I can already feel the ending being written.
We're beginning to enjoy better hours, a little more stability, and I'm realized that our Residency friends aren't staying here and doing a contract like we are and we are now spending our last year with them before they continue on in their own adventures; why haven't we taken more advantage of the last two years?!
Oh that's right, everyone was working every minute all the time!
So here's to all the graduating class this year (I'm looking at you Jesse!),
and onto the graduating class of 2019 (that's us baby),
let's let the Good Times Roll~
