Official!

We found out recently that Sam will officially be starting medical school this coming fall at DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine and we are SO excited!! He had been doing very well in his post-bac program (first in his class, actually) and scored a significantly better score on the MCAT last fall.. So we had a good idea of his chances but just had to wait for the official word. He finally had his interview a couple weeks ago and the following weekend, the dean called to tell him that he was accepted! WAHOO! It's so nice to have a plan and to know that we are staying put for the next 2 years (at least until rotations in his last 2 years). Way to go babe!! I think Sam is such a hard worker and has really shown what he is truly capable of in this past year. I know we have a long road ahead but we are very excited.  Sam has always loved school and has always been so eager to learn so I think he is going to do great. And I know we will have to live pretty frugal for a few more years but it will be so worth it. SO it looks like we are here to stay in our little town of Harrogate and we couldn't be happier. We've made some great friends and love how beautiful the countryside is.

Congratulations to you both! I'm sure you'll be working as hard as Sam is, but in a different way, over the next two years. How nice to have a sort of long term plan.
