First Day!

Monday was a surreal experience. It was like the day to pinch oneself and realize that yes.. Indeed after years of dreaming about attending medical school and becoming a doctor, I was actually sitting in a seat with 159 other students getting ready to embark on a whole phase of my life.

It was awesome!

The inaugural class has 160 students. 80 men and 80 women.

It was cool to sit there and contemplate all the different stories of the people that are here to get there medical education and on top of that be a part of the opening of a brand-new school.

The faculty were great and did an incredible job of making all feel welcome and at home. We are on an adventure together and it is great. I think I shocked a few people yesterday with my "full quiver" and the fact that I had just caught my 6 th child the day before I started medical school.

Jennifer and the baby are doing great. As the song says...Hold Fast..... help is on the way.........
Jenns sister and her family are coming towards the end of the week and her mom will follow in a few weeks...

Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and comments....

hey Greg - Congrats on little Ian. He's adorable. Congrats also on your first day of class. Blessings to you and Jen as you push forwad. I'm sure that all days won't be as exciting. You have an enormous balancing act in front of you - family, work, school. Just remember the one who called you. God will see you through.
