Even Kaden was soooo excited!!
Kayli knew she was supposed to be excited about something!
We went to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate big!
Justin interviewed on Weds and they told him they would call him on Friday to let him know if they wanted him or not. Justin felt that the interview went well. It wasn't quite like he expected. It was a lot more layed back then he thought it was going to be. He flew home on Thursday. They called him while he was at the airport on Thursday and told him that he really impressed them and they wanted him to come to that school. VCOM, part of Virginia Tech, by the way. He was so excited! He called me and told me. He was so cute, he would just randomly start laughing. I think he was still in a little shock. I, of course started crying. He is still so excited. He'll randomly says, "I'm a med student", with a big smile. So we'll head to Virginia in July or August 2009. I don't think I'm ready to lose my husband to his studies. I'm definitely not looking forward to that part. I guess I'll only be widowed for 4 years, right?
We are so so proud of Justin! He has worked so hard to get to this point. It was a little stressful, no A LOT stressful to get here, but I know it will all be worth it in the end. At least that's what I keep telling myself :). We love Justin so much. He is so great and he wanted this so bad. I know the Lord blessed us immensely. Thank you so much for all your prayers. We couldn't have done it without the Lord's help and your support.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is so awesome. Wasn't that his first choice? I know all two well what a relief it is to get in. Well, at least we will be on the same side of the country. Love you! We are so happy for you guys. :)
P.S. I love the family picture. You look amazing. Can you help me get into shape after this baby please.
AWESOME! What an exciting time for you guys. I'm sure he will do really well, he almost "looks the part". Med School isn't as bad as you are probably imagining, though. Summers are off, long holiday breaks... you might be surprised. It was a really fun time in our lives. (Now residency, on the other hand... don't go there yet.) We will be excited to live the adventure with you!
Ya!!! new pictures!!! And we are excited for Justin too. Can't wait to only be 8 hours from you instead of 40. See you soon. Love ya.
You don't get summers off at VCOM. Not much time for holidays, either. It really isn't too bad, though. You guys will be just fine, and the wards there are awesome. Lorie is right about residency. Be prepared...the worst is yet to come. We're with you the whole way!!
CONGRATS!!!!! How EXCITING!!! Your Family picture is SO CUTE!!!
Yaaaay!!! That's great news!!! And I agree, you do look smokin in that picture. (Janey has that same hat kayle is wearing . . .) We LOVE you guys!
NO SUMMERS OFF?? Holy crap! Oh, I guess since it's an Osteopathic program, he probably has to spend that time learning "manipulative medicine", right? Virginia is a long ways away.... (sigh)
crystal, Congrats to your family!!! This is Sharice "Heaton" a friend of Camille's from High School. Anyway, just wanted to tell you my husband has a friend who just got into VCOM. He will be going there in August as well. His name is Colby Callahan. Look him up when you guys get there! He and is wife are really awesome people! They're from St. George. My husband will be applying this summer and VCOM is on our list! Put in a good word for us would you? ;0) Good luck and Congrats!!!!!
That is so exciting! I am so happy for you guys. That is so awesome that Justin got accepted to where he wanted to go. Hopefully we will get a couple of chances to hang out before you move to Virginia. I love your family pictures, they are so cute!
