Hooray!!!

We are celebrating around here tonight because we just found out that Josh passed that huge comprehensive test he was studying for over his break and took last week!!!!  We have been talking about and praying with Shane for weeks for daddy to pass his test, so when we told him tonight that he passed it he started doing his happy dance and saying "That's so exciting!" 
So how do you celebrate in the frozen north?  You get ice cream of course! 
It is such a relief to have this done with and know that Josh is one step closer to becoming a doctor.   This test basically gives us an idea of how he would do on the boards right now, and he will take the real boards in May or June.  For now, he will spend his extra time this semester studying for them and trying to make his score as competitive as possible, and enjoying this little victory:)   (Here he is learning how to scrub into surgeries- don't worry, they encouraged them to take pictures :) )
    We're proud of you Josh!

Of course he passed--there was no doubt in anyone's mind! Way to go, Josh! In my opinion, the Step is a much better test than the Comp :)
