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.

That is awesome! It's funny how exciting it is to find out you get to go to more school. Where was that enthusiasm in high school? We'll have to drop by for a visit sometime. In comparison to most of our friends out west, you guys are next door neighbors. Congrats again!

Congratulations! We're so happy for you! And Philidelphia? What an adventure! We need to have a reunion before you move! When does his school start?

My only memory I have of Philadelphia is on a family trip there. We were hanging out in a park and a lady asked us where the bathroom was. We pointed out where the restrooms were. The next thing we know she is behind a bush doing her business. Hopefully you end up with better memories of philly than me.-Matt

I know I prob feel closer to you through tiff than you do to us, but i've been checking to see re: your waiting game for dental school since my bro-in-law is on waiting list too for Louisville...except for this is his 3rd attempt!! So while I'm very excited for you two, hope the good luck will go his way now esp since Louisville was on your list:) Congrats!! When do you move to East Coast?

Hey Mandy! It's Ashton. I just saw your blog on Carrie's list. Congrats on dental school! We are in North Carolina for law school with Calvin and we went on a trip to Philadelphia for spring break. It was so much fun! That's so exciting that you'll be there! Congratulations! Good luck!
