As you've all probably read by now, Dan secured his first official job as a Physician Assistant this past week! He will be working at a Dermatology clinic in downtown Nashville as of September 3rd, and we could not be more excited. It's actually the same clinic he worked at during his last rotation, so it really is a blessing that he knows a bit about what he's walking into. He still has to take his boards next month, but after that, he's home free! I'm not sure who is more excited/relieved that we've made it through this process - me or Dan! But we are so incredibly grateful that God has seen us through, and all in all, it has really been quite smooth. God has provided more than enough every step of the way, and he has proved he is faithful yet again.
I guess I didn't fully realize how ready I was to know even a little bit more about our future until I got that phone call from Dan on Friday. This past year has really been lived in 6-week increments for us as Dan has moved from one rotation to another, with sometimes no idea where or what the next rotation might be. Now, starting September 3rd, he has a plan and a schedule and a routine...and yes, even a paycheck :-) What a huge sigh of relief to have that big piece of the puzzle filled in! And what a blessing to have a job in medicine with a fairly normal schedule, no nights or weekends, no time "on call", and even Holidays off! And another huge perk for both of us is that his office is only a few blocks away from mine...which means there will be plenty of opportunities for car pooling and lunch dates. Ahhhhhhh....thank you LORD!
We went out to celebrate this weekend, and I took some pictures specifically to share with you all, but for some reason they don't want to upload right now. Perhaps I'll try again tomorrow.
