A bit of an update...

So, Paula and I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping our blog up-to-date. However, this is the beginning of a concerted effort to stay current. The problem is that we really have nothing to share other than impromptu songs that Paula comes up with about her endless love for our cat, Gordon.

However, there's a few things going on right now in our lives...

First, we became an uncle/aunt for the second time today as Merry and Paul (Paula's sister and our brother-in-law) had a little girl, Ravenna Jewel Dolan. Eirik and Heidi (my brother and our sister-in-law) are expecting in the next couple of days/weeks. Very exciting!!!

Also, we have a rather large moment coming up on March 19th. That day is called Match Day and is the day when Paula and I find out where we're going to be for the next three years during Paula's residency. The process of the 'match' is that Paula submits a ranked list of programs that she interviewed with, the programs she's interviewed with rank the students they interviewed, and then a computer takes all the ranked lists from across the country and determines our fate through an algorithm. Whatever the computer tells us is contractually binding, so we don't have much of a say now that Paula has submitted her ranked list. We're excited to find out where we're going to end up so we can start making plans and looking for places to live.

Oh, we're also planning a nice little vacation in April and May. A little respite from the hustle and bustle before Paula becomes an indentured servant for 3 years.

That's about all for now. Hopefully our future posts will be more entertaining and exciting.
