The verdict is in annnnddd we're headed to......

We got our #1 out of 50 choices, which is amazing. Like the picture, it's called the golf capital of Tennessee because they have 11 championship golf courses (Kyle's going to love that). Kyle will start June 28th (our anniversary) doing his Behavioral Health/Psycology rotation which will be great because he won't have on call hours for that rotation. We're really hoping that baby Toti is organized and goes along with our schedule and comes on time, but we'll just wait and see. He then does a month of Pediatrics and will do about 3 months of internal medicine after that. We actually have a schedule for the next 2 years of our life!! Yay!!!! There is a possibility we may live in a town about 20-30 min. from Crossville called Cookeville, TN. We visited Cookeville over Christmas break and really loved the town.

Now for the story of how we found out, because it was crazy. We were told we would find out on Friday and I kept e-mailing and texting Kyle all day asking if he found out yet. We didn't find out by 5:00 and I was headed to work basketball games Friday and Kyle went up to a game night with a few other med students and med student wives. I started getting texts at about 7:00 from med student wives saying that people were finding out, so I start freaking out and wonder where we'll be going. Well I call Kyle and find out that the system the school used was closed for the night but one person knew where they were all going so if they wanted to find out just hit reply to some e-mail and this guy will e-mail the rotations out. Of course, Kyle hits reply but then the drama unfolds. This guy started alphabetically sending e-mails letting people know where they are going. By the time I got done with basketball at 10:00 we still didn't know where we were going but our good friends Chuck and Colleen had already found out they were going to Crossville (our #1). Kyle said game night was so tense, the guys had their phones out looking at their phones every few minutes. They were even messing with each other and sending e-mails to each other that just said rotations, they're so mean to each other.

Finally after basketball us and 2 other couples (Chuck and Colleen, Michael and Alarie- who all wanted to go to Crossville too) decided to hang out until we all found out. Well Michael and Alarie found out at about 10:30 they were headed to Crossville and that's when I started going crazy. Good thing I'm pregnant otherwise I would've needed a strong scotch or something (and I don't drink scotch). Finally at around 11:00 Kyle screamed and came into the room we were all in and said we got our #1 pick we were all headed to Crossville!!! It was a nerve wracking night but in the end all of us girls were so excited to have each other in the same town. I've become really good friends with these women and it's amazing to have someone that understands exactly what you're going with whether it's grouchy med student husband during test time, no money when you're waiting for loans, and so much more. Michael and Alarie are even expecting their first baby 5 days after us, so we'll have friends that have no idea what they're doing either. Oh, and our babies will have instant friends! So all in all we're headed to Crossville, Tn which is about 2 1/2 hours form where we live.

We're going to miss all of our friends that we've made here. I'm going to miss my school that I work at, all the kids and teachers. We're really going to miss our church family that we've grown so close to. We have trust in God that this is his plan for us and we're excited to start the next 2 years in our lives in a new town.
