Fourth year medical students from the University of MN gather with friends and family for breakfast, speeches, and anxiety.
Matt, Charlotte, and Kristi excited for the big moment.
Charlotte was in love with this little baby, the daughter of a classmate of ours.
At exactly 11am sharp, they released us from our seats to hand out our envelopes with the Match results inside. Here is a brief moment of sanity before ripping open the envelopes.
Charlotte was so excited she could hardly wait.
Happy smiles--we're going to Mayo!!!
Calling Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Mark to tell them we'll be neighbors!
Then Charlotte started running a fever, and she wasn't any fun anymore.
The after-party, where Charlotte fell asleep in the middle of a noisy bar.To summarize--we're going to the Mayo Clinic for our Family Medicine residency for the next three years! We will be moving down there sometime after graduation (May 2), and potentially living across the street from Kristi's parents, who will be doing daycare for Charlotte. For our Duluth friends who are reading this, today is a little bittersweet. We are happy about going to Mayo, but we are sad not to be coming back up to Duluth as it has always felt like home. But now I suppose it is time to make another new home...the fourth place Charlotte will have lived in her short little life!
Our lives are about to become the sequel to the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond....

Thanks for updating this so quickly, guys - I've been checking all day! Congratulations on your match, and off to Mayo!
HOORAY!! Congratulations! I'm excited that maybe I'll see you a little more often, and Charlotte and Sam can finally meet and play together!
Congrats!! We're happy for you two. Having daycare settled is a huge relief I'm sure. We'll be down there the end of May for Belle, so maybe if you're settled in we can visit you?!! I love the pictures of Charlotte lately - she's getting so big, such a little girl now - no more baby. Hopefully we'll see you soon!
Yeah! So great....it sounds like that being in Rochester will be a real blessing. I am sure you guys will feel so much more confident in your residency with Charlotte with family!!! I am so happy for you :-) Love you guys!
YAY! Congrats on making it through the waiting stages :)
Woohoo!!
Aw, babyface is such a big girl now! I have to admit I'm a little sad I won't be around closer to home. Are any other neighbors moving out of their houses?
congrats guys! I'm so glad you guys will be by Grandparent Florecks.
Selfishly I have to ask if this means you are more or less able to come to my wedding, though. :)
That's so exciting you guys! What a great place to learn...and so nice to be so close to family while Charlotte is still little. We will (and do) of course miss you though!
Congrats to you guys!!! We are so excited for you. Wow, Mayo that is awesome! (Duluth will be the perfect place to come visit when you are looking for a get away!) Love to you all!
