We have grown up in Austin, attended college nearby, gotten married in Austin, and spent our first married year in Austin. It will be sad to go, because no other city compares, but we are ready to leave and start this new chapter in our life!

We will begin moving to our new city on May 13th and our last day of work in Austin is May 27th. We have been saving up for quite a while to spend the month of June in our new city, going on trips, getting settled in, and spending time together before med school starts. The sad realization is we won't be spending this much time together for decades to come. The lifestyle of a physician, even after med school, is very similar to med school itself. They say med school prepares you to live on less sleep and master time management. So it isn't going to get easy anytime soon. I know that the month of June will be a month that we will remember forever - our last hoorah!

Our current work schedules have prepared us for med school. I work 8-5 and hubby works 2pm - 11pm (including the weekends). We are constantly missing eachother because of work. As frustrating it is, the silver lining is maybe med school won't seem so bad right off the bat. Yesterday, we had our first day where both of us had the same day off. I took the day off so that we could go to the dentist together. We haven't had a day off together and spent more than 24 hours together in months! We had a lot of fun, even though we just ran errands all day. It was just a glimpse of what we have to look forward to in June...
