Good news!! Bryan matched at his first choice, which was Emergency Medicine Residency at Scott & White in Temple, TX! We were both nervous yesterday morning going to the match day festivities. They took group photos, passed out everyone's envelopes and THEN finally let everyone open their envelopes. We were both so relieved to see the paper inside said Scott & White!
After the match day results we went to lunch with both of our parents to celebrate, and then continued the celebration by going to show them our new house! We put a contract on a house here in Temple that was contingent on residency match. So not only did we find out where Bryan will be training for the next 3 years... we also found out we are definitely buying a house! It was surreal to look at the house this time and know how many memories we will make there with Caleb. We are so excited and blessed to have things falling into place.
Last night Bryan's class took charter buses to Austin so we could go on a dinner boat cruise on Lake Travis. It was a great way to celebrate and be with so many friends from Medical School. Yesterday was a great day and one that we will surely not forget!
With all of our friends from our Med School Bible Study

With Bryan's classmates who are also going into Emergency Medicine (Bryan, Laura, Tiffany, Ty, Dylan, Tat, Salil & advisor Dr. Drigalla). We are excited that Dylan and Ty will both be at Scott & White as well!

I was just checking in to see how Match Day went. Congrats to Bryan! It is always nice to get your first choice. Congrats on the new home and I wish you guys all the best with the next phase of your life. I loved residency, even in the pre-resident hour restriction era. Enjoy!!!!
