The Next 3 Years of My Life

I am waiting with abated breath - where will I spend the vast majority of my time for the next 3 years. Where will I lay my head every 4th night? Maybe I should say attempt to lay my head. Oh, what I would give to know right now, but I will have to be patient and wait for March 20th!!

Mortality

I have had a recent profound realization of how mortal we all are, in my person and professional worlds. With this comes a new appreciation for life but also an even greater appreciation for the gift that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have given us - this is not the end. Working in the ICU has been a phenomenal experience. It has opened my eyes to how fragile life can be and has burned fear into my heart of what a great responsibility it is to be a physician. Every day I go to work motivated to be the best doctor I can possibly be - to give the best care to each patient I will care for in the future.

Interview

My first Interview for Residency is tomorrow and I am so nervous I can't think. Daniel and Anne are telling me not to worry but I can't help myself. Please send good thoughts my way tomorrow!!
Love,
Tonya

SUNS

I love the Phoenix Suns!! I have been a Suns fan since I can remember. Trevor and I loved to watch KJ back in the day and I am now a huge Steve Nash fan. I am currently wearing my Steve Nash jersey and perusing the Suns website looking for tickets - I really want to watch them beat the San Antonio Spurs. I also had to order a fantastic sweatshirt and shirt from the NBA store. I am eagerly awaiting their arrival. Fall does bring such wonderful things as football season, baseball post season, and the beginning of the Holiday Season, but for me the most anticipated season is Phoenix Suns season!! On a side note, there are a few other reasons that I love the Suns. Daniel took me to a Suns game on Feb 26, 1997 and we have been together ever since - we had our first kiss that night. Daniel proposed to me at a Suns game on Dec 15, 2000.

GO SUNS!!!!!!
