Today marked my graduation from my hospice and palliative medicine fellowship and the end of my time as the trainee. In one week, I will be officially done with fellowship. I get six weeks off before starting as faculty, the moment I have been waiting for since I was a medical student. In the meantime, I will be packing since LOML and I will likely be moving into a new house before I start my new position. It's been quite the crazy series of events to get the house we are currently under contract on. We looked at a group of houses in the neighborhood where we thought we wanted to buy, only to find that the layouts of the houses were not what we liked. When then started again with a new search, and had two houses we liked at the end of the day: newer construction with vinyl siding and an all-brick house with great updates but on a septic tank. We went with the newer construction, had everything ready for the offer, and were told it went under verbal contract. So we looked at another house in the same neighborhood that was the plan we liked. We put in an offer, only to have the sellers back-out and decide they didn't want to sell. Finally, I convinced LOML that we really did want the all-brick house because it had everything on our list other than a screen-in porch. We put in the offer, and it was accepted immediately. We are now getting the inspections and appraisals scheduled, and will hopefully close the beginning of August. We've shoved as many big events into one year that we can. We are excited. I can't wait to start my new job as daunting as it feels.
