We have news!!! Can I get a "finally!!" ?
David got into 2 dental schools and it took us a good week (with a clerical error, we were only given a week) to decide which one. Some definite stress and lots of weighing options as well as praying... and we have it figured out and know where we're supposed to be. Yay!
From 2013 - 2017 David will be attending the University of Utah dental school! He will be in the first class, with 20 students. It is an amazing feat that he got in. (So proud of you sweetie!) And we have felt like we now know why he didn't get into a school last year, because they had to start one in Utah first! He has worked at the U of U dental clinic previously for 3 years and with that employment he met many of the now head honchos that have started this new dental school for Utah. We know we'll be guinea pigs, but we're ready for some of the bumps because it will work out in the end.
We feel so blessed to be staying in Utah even though it was a hard decision between 2 great places, AZ or UT. And just a basic look, it was like choosing between our families. Or choosing so hot or so cold. I'm not so thrilled about the cold, but now that January is over and we're out of the worst, I feel a more positive self coming along already. For those of you in UT or AZ, we're glad we have you as family and friends. We would have picked both places if we could and when it came down to it, it was just that deep feeling we got that led us to pick the U. We know we are going to be here for a reason, we may just not find out for many years, and thats okay. So for all our AZ peeps, please come visit us still :)
And we have more news... (we've got to go out with a bang right?)
We are very excited to witness this miracle and add to our family. It really is a miracle and there's nothing we can say except we are VERY excited. And we think the worst (morning sickness) is over, so that just makes it much more exciting :) More to come on this 9 month adventure (actually 6 months now!) soon.

Woohoo! I am so happy and super excited for you two! You are going to be the best mom ever! Congrats!! Dental school and baby! Way to start the year off right with such wonderful news!
