Two years down, three to go!!!

Patrick just started his 3rd year of residency today!! So, this is for all of you have known us since we started dating (Dec. 1997), those of you who knew us when Patrick was in med school, those of you who knew us when he was STILL in med school, and those of you who met us when we moved to MN and have asked, "So, when is Pat done with school? How many years of residency does he have left? He's not a staff, YET??" Well, to answer all of your questions, we have 3 more years left here in MN. It really has gone quickly and he loves the program. After he finishes his 5 years here, he will do a fellowship for one year. After lots of thinking and talking about what his specialty will be, he has decided (or we have decided)on orthopedic oncology. He will do surgeries on bone and muscle tumors. So, that is our news and it feels really great to have made a decision. We now know what to look forward to in the future. So, we are getting there!!!
