The most stressful week of my life was last week, before we found out where we were going for Ryan's residency. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and there was a giant knot in my stomach constantly.
Thursday morning, I met up with Ryan at Gaillardia Country Club where the Match Day luncheon was being held. We got there at 10:30 and the buffet opened. We sat around talking and looking in our gift bags...everyone checking their cell phone to see what time it was every 10 minutes. Some of the students and deans made speeches and then it was time.
The class below Ryan's brought in cases of wine to each table. The wine bottles were wrapped in paper with names tied to them. When they set Ryan's bottle down in front of us, I was so overwhelmed with stress that I started to cry. I was so afraid it was going to be El Paso!!!
Everyone was told to open them, and I couldn't even look. He tore off the paper, and then turned the bottle over so we could read the label on the back. I couldn't even see or focus....and then I saw the words "OU." And under them, "Integris Baptist." I have never been so relieved in my life!!!
So Ryan will spend his prelim year in internal medicine with OU, then move to Baptist for his radiology residency. He starts making a little bit of money when he starts in July and can finally start paying off his loans. I think we're $500,000 in the hole right now. Starts freaking me out when I think about it too much....nothing I can really do about it though!
And now, the house hunt is on for real! We have about a month to figure things out so we can make the tax credit deadline :)
YAY OKC! I LOVE YOU!
