Randee here blogging for Paige...(They are driving back to Utah from Scott's last rotation down in Sin City and wanted to get the good news out.)
As we all know Scott will soon become Dr. Moulton in May when he graduates Medical School. (side note...the whole flippin' family couldn't be prouder of all his hard work and sacrifice!) This week is a big week for those soon to be resident docs as they all found out on Monday whether or not they 'matched' to a program and on Thursday where they were going if they did 'match'. This is a huge deal, just ask anyone in med school!
To no ones surprise Scott did match and after a long few days, found out where. Here were the options (I'm not sure the order and since Paige and Scott aren't doing this, they can clarify once they get back to town.)
1. Omaha, Nebraska
2. University of Utah
3. some town in Connecticut
4. Loma Linda, California
5. Some place in Washington or maybe it was Oregan
Honestly every time they told me the list all I heard was Utah (because I was secretly hoping for that), Nebraska (because I wondered if anyone really lived there...apparently lots of people do) and Loma Linda (since it was us Holbrooks old stompin' grounds and I had visions of Disneyland trips dancing in my head).
Well ladies and gentleman...every one's prayers were answered and Scott matched to University of Utah Hospital Internal Medicine Program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can tell you that this is an answer the prayers of Mom's, Dad's, Sister's, Brother's and Cousin's alike. Our family love Scott and Paige so much, but between you and me...we really wanted little Mr. Max and Ms. Katie to stick around. (Their kids are amazing!)
Let me please take this opportunity, since I have free reign over this blog at the present moment to tell my sister how much I love her! She is one the most amazing people I have ever known. She is funny, beautiful, talented and the best mom. She can make you laugh at nothing and is fiercely loyal to her family. Paige is one of my best friends and has always been there to help me out! I love ya!
Chuck...I loved you enough to set you up with my sister and let me tell you, you're the greatest thing that's happened to her! You are the best and a ton of fun to be around. I am so proud of all that you've accomplished, you are one of the most driven and smartest people I know. (I don't know that many people so...) Your honest and full of integrity and I'm so glad your apart of our family.
I love you both so much, but sorry to say, I might just love your cute kids a little more. If any of you have not had the pleasure to meet Max and Kate...consider yourself cheated and make a point to do so. Women, before you know it you will have promised your daughters to this kid and every cent you ever make. What a ladies man!!
Love you guys, Congrats!!!

Hooray! I'm so happy to hear the great news! Loved Randee's post! She's so sweet.
I'm soo excited and happy for you guys!! I don't know why I think that it's fair that everyone else stay in Utah for me so that I don't have as many places to visit when I come back to the States! And Randee this was such a sweet post, you are a great blogger..I admit I read yours all the time! How could I resist any of the Holbrook's??? xoxo
Paige..Congrats!! That is so exciting!! At least you know when you husband is a rich Dr. the temptation won't be as close to become a compulsive gambler LOL :)! BTW..your sister the best!
Congrats Paige and Scott! It will be good to run into you at Target more, and occasionally at the family functions! I am glad you will be able to be in Utah Dr. Moulton is working hard. Hope every thing went well with Kates's night time and feedings. Have a great cruise!!! you guys both really deserve it!
CONGRATS!

Paige and Chuck its Carrie Funk Farnworth I just came across your Blog and love the family picture so cute. I am adding you guys to my blog as well. We need to keep in touch, Much Love miss you both.
I too am so very happy for you and your family. I was really hoping you might choose Loma Linda so we; "the Albee's", might have a chance to share in your lives. But I can understand the desire to stay close to family. Maybe you might want to consider coming to California and going to Disneyland with Vicki and I. We love and miss you all.......Rick Albee
