Have you heard the news? This August our new home will be Florida. As most know we are doing dental school through the Air Force and since graduation is just around the corner (MAY) its time to start thinking about the future. Since Pehrson started school he had every intention to specialize. Mostly thinking about Orthodontics. But this last Ayuda trip in Columbia he came home saying he wants to do Pediatrics. He says he loves the challenge of kids and thinks it would be really fun. BUT...he is still not 100% sure. So the Air Force offers sort of like a residency program (its called AEGD...not sure what it stands for) but it is a one year program of extra training. There were about 10-12 bases to choose from in the US that offer this program and we ranked them. Florida was actually our number one choose because the base is really big and offers ortho and pedo. That way Pehrson can work with both and hopefully figure out which route he wants to go. AND it didn't hurt that the base is right on the beach.

So here is our 10 year plan. (if you care) Go to Florida in August for 1 year. Then apply for a specialty depending on what P decides. Back to school for 2 or 3 years somewhere. And then our 4 year payback to the Air Force. THEN look for work.

It doesn't feel real because it's so far away from now. But I'm ready for a new adventure. I'm ready to live in the south and swim in warm water everyday. I'm sad to leave my home and my friends and family but we are just a flight away and we would love visitors...lots of them.

Our spot exactly is the Eglin Air Force Base. On the pan handle off the gulf of mexico. Some surrounding cities are Fort Walton Beach, Pensacula and Destin. If you know anything about these places let me know. We would love all the info we can get, especially where we should live.
