the more the merrier?

I'm not so sure. Tufts University just called...and accepted Russell!!!

Hailey told me "When one comes, they all come."

Ohhhh she was too right.

Beyond Crazy. Beyond.

USC School of Dentistry

Just when we think we have everything figured out....Russell has been accepted to USC! This has always been our number ONE choice but now we have a very difficult decision ahead of us. We've been so excited about moving to the East Coast. We've started talking with other students who are helping us find a place to live. But now, NOW this is CRAZY. I have no idea what to do. Well actually I do, pray, pray and pray.

Where do you think we should move?

Utah Bucket List

Well since our days in this grand state are numbered, we better start this sometime.

For Russell this includes lots and lots of golfing.





Also included-the PIE.
This may make the list more than once.

Attempting to Picnic

first attempt: failed miserably.
freezing cold wind + no actual warmth from the sun
= eating as fast as humanly possible.

second attempt: success!
front yard + card games + pudding
= finger counting to ensure my win over russell
who later claimed my pudding killed him.

Makay Bryan Anderson

My good friend Jerilyn had her third son! So I bet you can tell he's not a newborn...I was a little slow on getting back to Provo to visit her. But he is still just as adorable even if I was late on meeting him! And he' such a cuddle bug-can't wait to watch him grow up along side his brothers!

Meet Bean & Marianne

What are the odds? At a wedding for one of Russell's long time friends...We go to say hi to {Bean} and who is his girlfriend? One of my friends from home. The boys had no idea and stood there bewildered as Marianne and I freaked out!


{Side note: Bean has been called Bean since the 4th grade...when Russell started calling him a different vegetable everyday. Apparently Bean stuck! Russell realized he has a little nerd in him.}

spring

it's coming. finally.

Accepted!!!

It's true. Russell has been accepted to
Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry
in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
We are beyond excited.

He called me Thursday afternoon as I was shopping with my sister in laws. I can't even put into words how I felt. {I screamed in the store} We both quickly started calling family to tell them the good news. It was such a surreal experience. This is a day we thought might never come. We screamed, cried, jumped up and down and continue to remind each other several times a day that we are going to dental school!

I couldn't be more proud of my husband



The day we found out

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support. We couldn't have done this without you and without the Lord. We are very blessed and excited to start a new chapter in our lives.
