We've had a huge blessing this week: Russell got a phone call Thursday morning inviting him to attend medical school! He'll be starting at A. T. Still University in Mesa, AZ on July 28th. We're so excited for this amazing opportunity.
To do list for the next 2 weeks:
- pack and clean house, sell contract
- figure out how to pay for med school
- tie up loose ends at jobs
- find a place to live
- figure out how to get our stuff there
- vacation to TX for 10 days (pre-planned!)
- the hardest part - say goodbye to family, friends, ward members, primary kiddos, coworkers, and neighbors
A little overwhelming, but we've been waiting for most of the past year to be able to make plans, so we'll take it! Wish us luck.

Coooool! That's so great. Good luck with all the plans! Everything will fall into place and it will be great.
Way to go! Congrats and good luck with everything. How exciting.
that's great y'all! Congrats!
We are so thrilled for you guys! Congrats, Russ!
Med school is hard work, but if you find time for one another through it all, it can be a great experience.
Best wishes!
Congratulations! Good luck in AZ, although I am sad you're not coming to IA. Can I recommend looking into ABF for moving your stuff? It's a great deal - you reserve part of a semi-like truck but if you use less space than you reserved, they'll refund you. Of course, you pack and unload it but still a good deal. Good luck with your preparations!!!
woo-hoo!! Hope you guys have fun...maybe it'll feel a little like home (Texas) with the heat and all :). Congrats!
YAY!!! That's so awesome!!! Congrats! That's soon! Good luck with the house hunting and all!!! You should stop and see us when you come through Vegas! You would go through there wouldn't ya? Probably don't have time, but if you want to stay here you are always welcome!!
