say whaaa?

look at this cool dude. shades, horse and sunshine, that's all he needs. of course, it was the one day last week that it was 70+ degrees here. now it's super nasty and freezing cold. so we stay inside like true san franciscans so that we don't have to venture out in the 50 degree weather. because, that's just too gross for us. 

remember how we had a five year plan? we'd finish dental school, go up to canada, work for levi's dad for a bit to pay off loans, move to calgary and start our own practice, make a bagillion dollars and be happy living there for the rest of our lives. man, that was a nice plan. 

now imagine that your husband texts you one day, saying he feels prompted to go into an oral surgery residency to specialize for another four years, and become an oral surgeon instead of dentist. meaning, we don't go to canada and work for his dad ever. meaning we have five more years of school left. meaning levi has a lot of externships, volunteering and applying to do until september so we don't see him anymore. meaning we move someplace else. meaning we don't immediately make a bagillion dollars. so many extra things. what happened to our life being so easy after school? i briefly got a glimpse of being over the hump with the end in sight, only to have my husband take it away so quickly. 

after many hours pondering, thinking, planning, i agree 100% with him and support this crazy idea. this is what we should be doing with our life. why? neither of us have any idea. other than we feel like we should. crazy much? yes. totally. exciting? yes. obnoxious? totally. scary? yes. but we are ready. i'm sure that i won't be as ready when he isn't home ever, and our kids are crazy, and i'm tired. but at least after that there's nothing else he can do right? we can officially be officially done. thank goodness. 

i'm sure that this will be only one of the bumps along the road we have, but i'm so glad that we can make these major life decisions together ;) hurrah for not being totally in charge of our lives and listening to what the Lord has in store for us!
