...at least for pepper plants of the Simmons variety, anyway--Eric matched at Washington Hospital Center today.
How do we feel about it?
Disappointed that it’s not Denver.
Thankful that we don’t have to scramble.
Elated about Eric’s co-residents; 2 out of the 3 are good friends.
Fantastic to be near friends and family.
Sad that Hostelling Simmons won't be your ski lodge next season!
We had a lot that we were looking forward to in Denver, so it's been difficult to mentally switch gears to prepare for a very different living situation. Regardless, we are happy to know where we are going, and we can see that there are distinct advantages to staying on the East Coast and some nice perks to this residency program: family, friends and Lake Gaston; proximity to Philadelphia for Liz's work; and travel already wrapped into the residency itinerary, as Eric will spend one month on a Native American reservation in Arizona and another month in the Caribbean.
On the other hand, Liz was looking forward to a break from life in an East Coast city, and it sounds like ferrets--which we have been looking forward to welcoming into our home during residency--are illegal in D.C. Also, the housing market isn't exactly in our price range, despite all the talk about a buyer's market.
Nevertheless, we plan on making the best out of the next three years, however they may unfold! Oh, and if you have any insider D.C. tips for matters on living and playing, do share! :)
