Suwanee here we come!

Ok...its official! We are MOVVVVVVVINGGGGGG!!! Not until March/April though. Heres the deal. Next year I have to do my out of town rotations for Anesthesia. Basically we do 13 one month rotations...and at the end of each month we have a weekend to move to the next city and start back at the new hospital Monday. We have rotations set up everywhere: St Louis, Kansas CIty, Houston, Atlanta, Ohio, Alabama, New MExico, etc. So as you can see.....thats a lot of moving and driving and what not. Heres the other kicker....only about 1/2 of them provide housing. Most of them you have to go on craigslist and find somewhere to live for a month. ($$$$). Paying double rent while paying to travel across the country isn't exactly the easiest thing for a grad student. With there being 12 rotations set up in Atlanta...it only makes sense that we should move there for a few years. (Theres 4-5 in Savannah but tons of competition since everyone lives here now..so I could probably only get 2 months in Savannah) So after a little research, we decided Suwanee, GA is the place to be for the next few years. Now that we have made the decision...I'm SUPER excited! I really think its somewhere I could raise my family. It will be tough being away from home (Cleveland)...but it was rated #10 in the top places to live by money magazine and top places to raise a family. Pretty cool huh? So for my first 6 rotations I will try to get them in Ohio where I can stay with family and in Savannah where I can be with my hubby. Then the last 7 will be in the Atlanta/Gainesville area in which I will NOT be paying double rent or being away from my hubby for 7 monhts. SAweEEEEEEEET! (IN addition I will NOT be dealing with snow either :) I'm sure my family and friends in Ohio aren't exactly enthrawled with this decision...but its what's best for now. I will probably take a sign on bonus for 2-3 years...and we can reevaluate at that time if Suwanee is the place for us...and if we should buy a house there. (By then we will probably be dealing with lil runninduffs if you know what I mean) haha

So thats the big news around this place. Other than that...I'm just trying to go force myself to go to the pool....eeeeeeeeeek! 1..2...3...GO!

Birthday from hell

Today is my birthday. Ughhh! I dont get excited about getting older.....at all. And on top of that....Even year birthdays are always hell for me....and odd years are fun. Unfortunately for me...this year I'm turning 24. Heres a lil recap

16th birthday- High school sweetheart broke up with me...."sweet" sixteen...YEAH RIGHT! Dont worry..I was also sick and got in a car wreck that day as well

18th birthday- Wake up...faint in the shower...spend the day in the hospital. Nothing like looking at your hospital bracelet and seeing DOB=Todays date. No fun

20th- eehh....not great, not horrible

22nd- SPent the day crying in my room because I had been locked in their for 3 days studying organic chemistry. I had to listen to my boyfriend (now husband) pitch online since I couldnt be there. We had to mail our birthday gifts (his is 4 days before mine)...and we hadn't seen each other in 5 weeks. By the end of the night I was bawling because I never even got a piece of birthday cake...


so here we are...24th birthday. I'm in the middle of moving down 3 flights of stairs and up 3 flights of stairs. How stupid could I be? Agreeing to move to the third floor again...booooooo! Not to mention pulling the 15 hour days again. Nothing like being up since 4:45 and then continuining to be on my feet until 10:30 moving furniture up and down stairs. Oh..what a glamorous b day!

On a happy note. I am officially registered for the 2009 Disney FULL marathon....and the 2008 Cleveland Half Marathon MAY 18! This will be the first time I've been home since I moved to Georgia and got married last May. Definitely the longest time I've ever been away from home. I'm having a few friends and a couple family members also participate in this race. I'm super pumped...but will have to take a test early and a personal day for clinical. EEK...my third...we only get 4 (all 3 were due to races...yikes). Oh well....you gotta live life...fooooo shoooooo!

Sorry I'm a little MIA! Moving...school..health (been fainting in the OR...going through lots of medical testing) ..clinical...life...basically sucks! Sorry for the downnerr...I think my endorphins finally wore off.....another Boo! Holla!
