One week down...

Wohoo!!  We are one week closer to being in the same state!  Last weekend I went up to the cabin to spend some time with the boy, as well as my parents and Carrie and Jason.  It was so nice to get away and spend some time as a family.  As always, the food was aplenty and the company divine. 

Emily also had some VERY exciting news last week- she will be doing her residency at the University of Minnesota.  I was able to stop at a coffee shop and watch her open her envelope, and when the tears filled her eyes, I had a moment of panic-Kansas here we come...  But, seconds later (it felt like hours) she managed to utter the words "University of Minnesota."  I am SO proud of her- 4 years of strenuous work has finally paid off and she will be able to start her "grown-up" life exactly where she wants.  How many Med-Students get to say they completed the residency at their number 1 spot?  I am betting not many.  She blows me away. 

Tom will be back in Chicago starting Saturday for an entire week and I could not be more excited!  I hope that this week goes by fast, and that next week drags on forever!
