Another Year in Clovis

So, the scramble came and went, and after hours of prayer and discussion, it looks like we are going to stay in the Air Force.  This has definitely been a humbling process.  If any of you heard me talk about my frustrations with the military way of doing things, you would understand why I say that.  The good news is that Chad can apply for residency programs in the Air Force this June, and by December we will know if he has been selected for Orthopedics, Anesthesia, Radiology, or whatever the Air Force decides.  He is planning to apply for multiple programs so that we have a back up plan in case Orthopedics doesn't work out for us.  We decided that if there was still a chance that he could get into an Orthopedics program with the military, then we would go for it.  If he still doesn't get in, then we are no worse off then we are today but our financial situation is better.  The sad news is that we don't get to build our new house and residency is still one more year away.  

We want to thank all of you who have been so supportive and have prayed for us.  We feel good about this decision and know that there is a purpose for it.  We have found an incredible amount of comfort in what has been a very stressful time, so thanks.  We hope that next December will bring exciting news, but until then we will enjoy another day in Clovis.
