So close, and so much left to do.

So as most of you know, I have anxiously headed toward the end of my residency since... oh... I don't know, around midway through first year. And now that the end is rapidly approaching I find myself wishing I had a little more time. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean IN residency, I just mean more time to get things done in the rest of my life.

For one, we sold our house. This has left us with a definite deadline in terms of moving. This is a great thing overall, we sold our house! Thanks to craigslist, it took only 6 days. Thats right, For Sale by Owner from list to completed offer in less than 1 week. Pretty awesome.

For second, we now have to find a place to live. This has proved to be a different kind of trial than what we were expecting to face. For those of you who don't know, we are moving to a small town in Central IL, around 5500 people in the town, and an area that serves around 13,000. The wife and I had expected to find ourselves short of options. Well, we were pleased to discover quite the opposite. Indeed, there have been a lot of GREAT options, at a great price with a great interest rate. So now we have the trial of trying to pick among many great options. 1st world problems to be sure, but it *does* have to get done, and now it has to be done sooner rather than later.

For Third, as many of you know we are expecting. So now in addition to a new job, new house, moving to a new town, and moving out of our old place, we have to get ready for our little guy. And yes, our little guy is a boy :) I felt him kick for the first time today, talk about wild.

On a completely different note, I have also started reading the "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King. And it is awesome. It hasn't been since I read a Song of Ice and Fire that I have been as engrossed in a series. Roland Deschain of Gilead ftw. Hile gunslinger.

That is long enough for now, more as it comes.

Stay healthy!
