Catching Up


Even though it’s only been five months since my last post, it seems like an eternity. Let’s just say there’s been a lot of school, a lot of moving, and a lot of snow. Amber and I have successfully relocated to Asheville. I have spent the past three months in SW Virginia, coming home on the weekends when possible. Being away from home 80% of the time is challenging, but I feel very fortunate to have found my way to such a great place for my education and development as a family practice physician.

I’m over half way through my 3rd year in medical school. Sometimes it feel as if I will be in school forever, other times I can’t believe I’m already in the hospitals learning and practicing medicine. It seems like yesterday I was taking my first biology class at the University of Louisville, but it’s been five years!

Amber starts at UNCA on Monday. She is anxious to finish her undergraduate education. Her plan is to continue with a Master’s Degree at Western North Carolina in History with a focus on Cherokee History and Public History. She’s so freakin’ smart it wears me out. I know she is bound for great things.

I’ll be back tonight or tomorrow with the five month update - part two.
