WOW! What a CRAZY, hectic, but incredibly wonderful week.... Shawn's match day was last Monday, and he found out that he didn't match, so this threw him into the scramble for unfilled residency programs. It is no wonder why they call it the scramble because that is literally what you have to do until you find a spot. It was constant phone calls, emails, faxing, interviews, etc. and a lot of wondering why things where going so bad! But we had a lot of love and support from family and friends, and many prayers said on our behalf which helped us get through. Shawn flew out to NY on Thursday and interviewed with Benedictine Hospital in Kingston, NY. It is located about 90 miles north of NYC. He and the director immediately hit it off, but the spot was still not gauranteed until they talked with the board of directors regarding surgery numbers. Shawn signed the contract this morning, and we couldn't be happier. We feel greatly blessed to have had this answer to prayers, and know how much Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. Though this was not a place we ever imagined that we would go, we are very excited to start our new adventure and invite one and all to come on out and visit us anytime they want.
