Decisions, decisions

This week Adam has interviews in Texas for a one-year fellowship that he's decided to do (after residency is over in a year and a half). We chose these programs in Texas mainly because we think we want to end up in Texas; we figure this will give us something to go on (plus it's needed in order to get a job down there, they look for TX ties apparently). We figure, if we hate it after a year then Adam can look elsewhere for a job. I'm on pins and needles though....Adam should be in an interview right now, as I type this. It really is a difficult thing to throw a dart at a map and say, "This is where we'll be forever" and we're hoping that this fellowship (besides furthering Adam's knowledge, blah blah...) will help us narrow things down a bit. It would be one thing if California weren't overpriced, a pit financially, and not a great place to be a doctor right now financially and otherwise, but now that not ALL our family lives there, we don't feel the pull to go back...and actually feel just the opposite--to RUN the other direction. So it's a weird place we're in. When we left there for med school we of course thought we'd be back. But during med school we realized there are SO MANY good things about other places around the country. Maybe we've just had the opportunity to realize that people are NICE and GREAT other places...strange thing as it is to realize! SO...bottom line, this week will be an interesting turning point as we narrow things down a bit. The options that we've given ourselves are Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Today is Dallas day so we'll see...eeek!!!
