We're going to Penn State!


Steve signed the contract and I faxed it off this morning. We are officially going to Penn State for Steve to do an anesthesia residency. We are really excited and feel so blessed to have this opportunity. Steve was offered a PGY2 spot out of the match (which means he won't lose a year by repeating his internship) and starts in July 2011. We'll be moving to Hershey, PA. All I remember about Hershey is the free chocolate at the end of the tour and that the light posts have kisses as the lanterns. I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that and we are all really excited to know we have a job. I'm really so proud of Steve that he was offered a spot outside the match....these opportunities don't come around very much at all. He must have made a really great impression. The people at Penn State called Steve on the afternoon of his interview as he was driving back to Michigan. I'm just so proud of him!

Hi Kasey-I just stumbled across your blog while blog surfing and saw this post. We live about 45 mins to an hour south of Hershey in a town called West Grove, PA. We love living in PA, everyone here is SO nice. There are farmer's markets everywhere you go so there are some really yummy treats and fresh veggies all over the place all summer long. When do you make the move? If you were just a little further south you probably would have ended up in our ward-the boundaries here are HUGE! Anyway, congratulations and hope you enjoy PA!!! We're not too, too far away so if you need anything while you're getting settled please let us know.
