Turns out you can.... Tyler and I will be moving back to Oregon and back in with my parents TOMORROW! I can't believe how quickly we got here. It really seems like I just started medical school, we just moved to Arizona, and we had not wedding date set. Things change so quickly. Tyler and I will be husband and wife in 107 short days, and tomorrow we will begin our drive back to our home state.
The move will most likely not be a permanent one, but with my grandparents getting older, we would both like to enjoy another year spending time with them. Not to mention the rest of the family and friends we left. I will spend most of the next year traveling from state to state doing audition rotations at different places, but Tyler will be in Oregon and that will be our home base for the next year or so. I will try to get a residency in Oregon, but it's going to be a pretty difficult thing to do. There are very few residency programs on the west coast and only 1 of them is in Oregon. Anyway, we'll see what I can do.
I think I've decided to be an OB/Gyn... There are many pros and cons to this decision and I'm still not entirely sure that it's the correct choice. That being said, I LOVED IT. I loved every second, of that rotation. Delivering babies is amazing, having only female patients is amazing, liability..... Not so amazing.... I'm still in the process of making my decision, so if ya'll have any suggestions feel free to lay um on me.
In other news, the wedding planning is coming along well. I wouldn't have been able to do this without my mom! She's been so amazing. She has called endless places, made a million appointments and made a ton of choices on her own. We also just got our engagement photos done. Our wedding photographer IS SO AMAZING. We met on a nasty day in Oregon during my Christmas break. It was sleeting, snowing, icing... EVIL DAY! She made great photos out of crap light and dangerous camera conditions. : ) Can't wait for the wedding photos!
Anyway, I guess that's all. I just thought it had been a LONG time since I wrote anything and there are some pretty awesome things happening. I'm going to miss my Arizona people SO MUCH, but Tyler and I are also very excited to be going home to Oregon. I'm pretty sure the first thing Ty is going to do is buy a fishing license. : )
