We got these best news on Wednesday and we are all jumping for joy!
Remember in the spring, I told you our son was home for 5 months to study for a
big medical board-exam, his biggest exam ever.
He passed with flying colors!
Soon he will head out to his clinical rotation sites in the U.S.
We'll be back to the empty nest....but a happy one.
If our kids are happy, then we're happy. True?
Well done Austin........................very well done!
We are embarrassingly proud of you (and we should be)
It's a holiday weekend ahead......
so have a little fun. We will be for sure!
Something that makes you feel younger!
Coming up........gift wrapping posts of a practical nature.
Get those scissors ready.

I was keeping him in my thoughts and knew that everything would have a glorious outcome. Please congratulate your son, and remind him that while he is making the rounds, he needs to call his Mother!

Sande,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Austin, I know just how proud you are! My daughter came home to study for her boards last spring. It was such a gift to me to know that she thought of our home as the best place to be during such a difficult and stressful time. I loved being able to take care of her again. Isn't it wonderful to be able to celebrate their successes with them. Thanks for sharing, Jenny

hi Sande! congratulations to Austin and your entire family! what a great accomplishment! i know you are sooooo proud of him. i am so happy for you and him. a Doctor, you go boy!!! what a blessing from God, when our children grow up and accomplish such challenging goals, it is a blessing from God. i pray that he will have much success in his future and in his career. doctors are truly special people because they sacrifice so much and they truly care for others. doctors have a special calling i truly believe this. as the old saying says, your children are a reflection of you. good job Sande to you and Austin, congratulations once again.
