Most everyone has heard our big news by now, but for those of you who haven't...
At the end of June, Phil took a new job with a company back east called Impulse Monitoring. He is leaving the chiropractic profession to be a neurophysiologist. To oversimplify it, he will be monitoring the neural pathways and vascular supply to the brain during surgery, so he will be in the O.R. He has spent most of his time since then back in Baltimore and New Jersey in training.
He has passed his first spine test and his practicum, and already has 15 (I think) or so surgeries under his belt (as an observer and assistant, he won't be on his own until he is in CT).
When he accepted the job, he committed to working in Connecticut for the next three years. Our hope is that the company can break into Utah, and we could transfer back, but we aren't sure what the Lord has in store for us.
Last Sunday Phil was released as Bishop of our ward. It was a bittersweet day.
We are excited to see what the future holds for us. But, as someone pointed out to me, this is the longest I have lived anywhere my whole life, so obviously we are sad to leave.
We expect to move the family out to Connecticut in December. We won't be far from NYC, so keep us in mind when you are planning your next trip back east. We would love the company!
