I thought the day would never come for us to apply for residency…now it has been over a month since we applied and Chris's itinerary for the months of December and January is filled with interviews! I must say I am so relieved and excited about his interview opportunities. Match day will be here before we know it and I can honestly say I will be happy with anything we have on the list! We are still hoping for a few programs in particular to come in (fingers crossed).
We arrived in Chicago on Saturday (for Chris's second away rotation) and I must say it is everything I have dreamed of! I am so thankful to have a supportive husband who allowed me to come! It would be beyond perfect if we could have brought Jackson but he is happy and spoiled rotten in Atlanta with his grandparents!
We spent Saturday afternoon settling into our new home (all 450 sq ft) and walking around our neighborhood. We found a great sports bar, Benchmark, to watch Auburn football! Saturday evening Chris and I ventured a little further away for dinner and tried Chicago deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's in Viagra Triangle… it was well worth the hour wait!

Yesterday afternoon we drove out to Evanston to see the hospital where Chris started working today! Our our way home I had my first celebrity sighting probably ever and Chris would most likely agree based on my reaction! So, we had stopped at a stop sign and were allowing people to cross the street… I did a double take when they looked at us and it was Giuliana and Bill Rancic with Baby Duke! I about died. I love their show!
Now I must go plan our sightseeing adventures for the next two days while Chris is off!
