POCATELLO here we come!

Yes, the rumor is true. We FINALLY know where we will be for the next year. We received a wonderful early Christmas present when Tim was offered a position as a resident in the AEGD program at ISU in Pocatello, ID. He replied with his acceptance a few days ago, so now it's official. He starts there July 1, 2010 for one year. It is so nice to just know and be able to start planning.

We didn't expect to find out until the end of January when the Match program is complete, but ISU offers their positions early, and we felt it would be crazy to pass up this great opportunity. We are excited for the training and experiences Tim will receive and the chance to be closer to family for a while. We aren't quite sure about moving back to the cold weather, but we're heading there anyway.

We have LOVED our time in San Antonio. This really is bitter-sweet. It will be really hard to leave the great weather year round and all of the fun things to do all the time, but most of all, it will be hardest to leave all of the friends that have become our family. We feel so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people who we feel like we've know forever, and we'll now have as treasured friends no matter where we are. I can't believe our time in Texas is coming to an end!

congrats!
I was so stoked to read your post. It will be nice that the drive to see family will only be an hour and a half. Pocatello is just 15-20 min. from us in blackfoot. I would love to get together and play games and catch up. Hope you're doing well and feeling well with the pregnancy. Great job Tim!
