bragging

While Mitch's parents were in town he received a letter inviting him into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. This is a huge honor and is only extended to the top 6% of Mitch's med school class at this point (I think he said that the top 15% are invited, but the other half will receive their invite next year). I am so proud of Mitch. He works really hard at school, plus helps out a ton at home and with the kids. On May 8th we get to attend a banquet in honor of the AOA inductees. That should be fun and exciting! Plus, it was great that Mitch's parents were here when Mitch received his letter! They got to see first-hand how great Mitch is doing. I just had to take a moment to brag in his honor!



Since I'm talking about Mitch I'll give a little update on how medical school is going. He is currently working on his surgery rotation. It's early mornings and long hours. On-call days are 28 hours straight. He's at the Kosair Children's Hospital and in a week will be heading to the VA. He is currently working out his rotations for fourth year. He was able to pick most of his rotations in areas related to the field he'll be doing his residency in. Mitch has chosen to apply for residencies primarily in OB and then some Family Medicine ones. We want to head back west to be closer to our families, so most of the programs applied to will be out that way. We have started looking into residency programs to decide which ones we'll apply to. It's crazy to think that a year from now Mitch will go through the match and we'll know where we'll be going. It's also crazy to think that Mitch only has just over a year left of medical school. One more year filled with his step 2 exams, residency applications and interviews. Should be fun!
