Texas Wildfire
Well, last night turned into such a blast. 
katemosey,
lone_cow,
onlyjenny and her huzz,
happycommuter, and
texantart all graced me with their presence last night.
texantart and
happycommuter brought me this mooning garden gnome. mr.m didnt notice it until this morning, and walked in a little baffled saying, "why is there a gnome's ass on the porch?" We love it.
After talking to practically everyone yesterday, the thought of moving to lubbock isn't the...well, devastating horror it was yesterday. My *ahem* suprise with the match results mostly stemmed from the fact that it will cause mr.m to uproot what he has been working on with some bike races and such. he has really given up what he wants in order for me to get what i want. i do admit that i feel guily about that. however, it is not forever and we both know that. he found out last night that one of his close friend/triathalon buddy/groomsman is moving to lubbock too. Complete coincidence. this friend had just accepted a professor position at tech a couple of days ago.
As far as the residency program goes, i am excited about it. i loved the faculty, staff, and other residents while i was there. they really seem to want me there, and that is a great feeling. it has all the things i was looking for in a program and one of the best benefits packages of any of the programs i applied to. i have been scoping some of the realestate out there and its amazing how low the cost of living is. my dad made an interesting point last night. he said that this was the program i initally loved and wanted to go to, and now i am getting to go there. he reminded me that your first impression is always correct, something i have experienced over and over again through many a multiple-choice exam.
The real heartbreak about going away is the fact i am going away. over the past 10 years, i have made this incredible network of friends who have managed to endure every facet of my personality and still love me in the morning. its always been a comfort to know that if something sucks, i have "family" to go to, and if somthing kicks ass, there are people there to yell and have a beer about it. luckily, southwest airlines offers supersaver tickets and flying to lubbock from love field takes about 45 minutes.
onlyjenny,
a_elise, and i went to the karoke bar last night. we decided to only sing shit we never sung before. so we loaded up on "sangin' juice" and got our "whatta man" and "girl from ipanema" on. Oh yes...Karla and Tilly were swingin' in full force.
