It's official!

Brandon got his extern sites for next year!  This is his third year in optometry school, and next summer he does three externships.  Sooo....next summer starting in May we will be in Ames, Iowa until late August.  We will be living with my parents, and I know they are excited to have Maddie there all summer!  Then for the fall semester we will be back in Memphis until Christmas break.   Then we get to move back to Raleigh!!!! YAY!!! Yes I said move, permanently!  I don't plan on going anywhere else!  He will do his last externship in Raleigh and graduate in May of 2010.  It sounds like a long ways away, but it's been a loooong 2 years so far, and it seems like we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!  He has to pass the NC state boards before he can work there (and they are one of the toughest in the country to pass) and find a job, but I will be glad to be back.  
I knew when Brandon was looking at Optometry schools that Memphis was the right place for us to be, but after Maddie was born, I just want to  be back in NC where our family and friends are.  Maddie needs her BFF Hazel go grow up with!
