Vacation

Ok, so the Mrs. has to work a few days this next week but as of today, I officially start my week of vacation - Awesome!

We're going to try to get some more posts on here about our very special upcoming addition to our family so stay posted.

Is it worth it?

So, Neal and I went to a personal and professional development meeting last week that his residency program holds once a month at nice restaurants. To be honest we usually just go for the free food and wine. But, this week was a great presentation about med school debt. Something that is on our minds from time to time.....maybe more like....all the time! They talked about changes that are coming to med school loans but most importantly they addressed "is it worth it."

At times, I know that Neal feels like he could be working and getting ahead in another field straight from undergrad...but according to the presentation that about by age 40 for people that have gone through med school and residency, it DOES become worth it. It is by that time that we will be able to catch up with others savings, retirement planning, etc....which even though it seems far away helps us get through all the overnight calls, working holidays, 80+ work weeks now!

So, here is to our 40's!

My Turn!

So, now its my turn to try this blogging thing! I have been meaning to for so long but just like everything else it kept getting pushed to the end of the list. I thought it would be something nice for Dr. and I to do together and people can stay caught up with our very busy lives! We have such amazing family and friends that we don't always get to see as often as we would like. Also, our family has some amazing changes on the way and we thought that this would be a good way to document them. So, here's to many more posts to come....wish me luck....I am going to need it.

Grand Opening

Ha! I win - I got the first post! Though, over the long run, I am willing to bet that the "Mrs." will end up ahead. Anyway, we just got back from Pittsburgh, PA visiting family. We had a good time overall and it was nice to get away for a bit. I even got a chance to eat at a restaurant that had really good food - if a bit on the fattening side. Take a look at the sign - look familiar?? Most KU fans might see a likeness to our football coach ;)

So.... all in all a good trip. Tomorrow - back to work!
