And We're Off...

So Match Day was Thursday and boy was it fun and eventful. For those of you that haven't heard, the Wilcox family is off to....Drum Roll Please... UTAH for residency. That is right we are staying right here in good old Utah. We are excited about it and feel good about it. We have a lot going for us here and of course it is much easier to stay than to pack up and head out. We pretty much knew we were going to be here so Match Day for us was not at all a surprise. It was a lot of fun to see where other people were going. All the med students and their families met together at the Jewish Community Center up by the U of U and opened their letters at the same time. They all had the chance to go up and tell everyone where they were going and what they were doing. I had a great time. Chill's parents were able to be there to support Chill as well which was very nice of them. There was a big party that night at Red Butte Gardens. Chill and I made it about an hour before it was over. We showed up in jeans and short sleeves only to find out the event was Semi Formal. Um hello can you say awkward? Yeah I felt pretty dumb, but we went in anyway and Chill was able to chat with some of his classmates and then we were out. I didn't take any pictures at the party but wish I would have for the memory. Nothing like sticking out in a crowd!
