Not Just a Light, but a Spotlight at the End of the Tunnel!

Since I met Jon he's been saying that he'll be going to pharmacy school in "the next year or two". Well, it's been 5 years, and we're FINALLY there! After spending countless hours researching schools, studying for and taking the PCAT (twice!), submitting applications, submitting the supplemental applications (that was mostly all me, and it sucked!), paying the application fees, and going to some interviews, we finally have hope. Earlier this month (as in we left the day after Sophia's birthday party at about 5AM) we went to Glendale Arizona so Jon could interview with Midwestern University. The whole time we were there (which was just under 24 hours) I fell in love with the place and thought, "yep, I could live here". Then that same week, Jon went to Omaha Nebraska to interview at Creighton University, and when he told me all of the wonderful things about that school I thought, "Hmm, maybe Omaha would be better!"

So we started weighing our options - just in case we were accepted to one of them - and were honestly torn. They both had so many great aspects about them! Then last Friday (about 2 weeks after those interviews), we got an email saying that Jon had been accepted to one of them! I cried I was so happy! Then we had to decide if this was the right choice. Well, we've been praying hard, and we both have the same feelings about it, so as of today we payed out deposit and Jon is officially a student at Midwestern University's Pharmacy School class of 2014!

I'm so proud of him and how hard he's worked to get to this point! Every year there were new requirements and new classes he had to take, and now we're finally in! And the best part, is that this is A) An accelerated school so he'll only be in school for 3 years instead of 4 and B) It starts this next summer instead of fall! So classes will start in June and we'll be moving to Arizona probably right when classes start! I'm so excited to finally start this next chapter in our lives and to be out on our own again! (Not that I don't like living in the Hunter Hotel, but I much prefer just having the three of us to deal with!) Congrats Jon! I love you so much and you'll do great in Pharmacy school!!!
