A couple of weeks ago we attended the graduation dinner for St. Joe's Hospital, where Richard has been working for the last year. This dinner was to celebrate the end of residencies for their radiology and podiatry residents, as well as the twelve interns. It was such a fun evening out. Who doesn't like to get all dressed up and have an evening out without children?!

Richard should really be writing this part of the post, but I'll just jot down what I've heard and observed this last year. Out of these twelve interns, seven of them attended MCW with Richard and also five of them are Mormon. We did multiple things this last year with this group of people and even though we have only known many of them for just a year; I must say they are wonderful people. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the wives of many of these men too. They were all so cute with our kids, and so, so friendly. Richard filled his last couple of weeks with these guys with BBQs and paint-balling. Seven of these interns are moving elsewhere to finish their residencies so they all said their good-byes yesterday on their last day of work. Richard has so been looking forward to the end of this year because he will finally get to do radiology, but he definitely had mixed feelings about all of this yesterday.
Richard was the Transition Year Representative this last year and so he was able to work closely with Dr. Kutty, which he enjoyed. Dr. Kutty had told Richard (he also reiterated this in his speech), that in all of his time at the hospital he has never seen a group of twelve interns come together so quickly, become friends, help each other out, and be such excellent physicians. He spoke so highly of this group.
Despite all of the things that Richard had to do this year that he definitely did not love; he has had an excellent year. He has been able to learn in a wonderful work environment, learn from great physicians, and make great friends.
So now it is on to MCW for the next four years of radiology. I know it will be another phenomenal experience and Richard, though terrified, is very much looking forward to it. Three of these interns will also be joining Richard at MCW for residency, so that will be great.
Good-bye St. Joe's; you will be missed!

Ahhhh, Joe's...how it is missed! While Matt enjoys his fellow interns here and everything, it's just not the same because they don't have the downtime to play Call of Duty together all night long. :) Ha ha! You'd think with all our ringing endorsements for Joe's, that soon it will be the only choice for a TY year from here on out. :) Suckers to those Luke's people who didn't know better! :) Ha ha!
that is so great you got new windows! that was a major perk about our house. the windows are freaking nice. it's like birds start singing when we open them. i didn't think i liked yard work until we moved in to our own home. i seriously love it!!! maybe your mind will change when you know it's yours. but i love what you have done with it. smores every night!!!
