Well last month we found out some really wonderful news. We found out that Stephen was accepted into dental school at AT Still University in Mesa Arizona!!! YAY! That was our first choice. He applied to 14 different schools. Two of them invited him to an interview back in October, AT Still and Marquette which is in Wisconsin. Now the difference between those two is pretty much night and day. I absolutely hate being cold! And when Stephen got back from both of those interviews he was disappointed and didn't want to tell me that he felt really good about the interview in Wisconsin and felt like the one in Arizona did not go very well. He was disappointed and felt bad telling me because he knew that I wanted to be in Arizona. Well, thank goodness for the tender mercies of the Lord because Stephen was accepted into Arizona. I couldn't be more excited! He starts July 12 which complicates things a little but I know we can make it work. I have a few more semesters left to take to finish my major. I'm taking 16 credits right now and I will take a few classes in the Summer. That's where it gets complicated. My semester starts June 24 and goes until the middle of August. I'm going to have to stay here and finish while he starts there. It won't be too bad though. It's only going to be 6 weeks. It's so important to me that I graduate and attain my degree. IT WILL HAPPEN! :)
Some other fun news, Stephen and I went and bought our first car together. It was a great experience and I love the car that we chose. We got a car that would be a little more family friendly since we will probably keep this new car for a while. New meaning new to us; we didn't buy a brand new one. Ha! But it's great! It's a fun red and I just love it.
Well, I can't wait to move out of this cold!!! It's been freezing the last month or so and right now I have a nasty cold. I've been coughing a lot and every time I go outside it just burns my lungs with the sting of cold. I know the Summers in Arizona will probably be miserable but I would take the hot over this freezing cold any day. I lived in Texas and in Southern California for the last 6 years of my life. I need the sun!!! I need the warmth!!!
Anyway, I guess the wait really is not over yet but the wait of wondering where we were going to be is over. What a relief to know that Stephen got in his first year applying. It really would have been a bummer to have to wait around for another year. God is good! He knows us so well and is ready and willing to bless us accordingly. Thank goodness for that! I don't know what I would do without a relationship with Him.
