Accepted!!

I can finally shout from the rooftops that Steven has been accepted into the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Nazareth College in Rochester, New York!! I have kept this secret for about a week until I could break it to my wonderful boss, Diann. This is such a huge accomplishment for him. He has worked hard for many years and it's nice to be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel.



The program is a three year program that begins May 18. It seems so fast to get everything in order and get him out there to start school. Luckily, I have a wonderful brother and sister-in-law who live in Rochester already and have already bent over backward to help our search. It will be so nice to be close to them.

There are still many things to work out and many decisions to be made. Congratulations Steven! You are such a hard worker and a wonderful husband. I can't wait to start this new adventure with you--many more things to look forward to. New York here we come!

Whitney, that is soooooo exciting. I am really happy for you both. What an amazing experience for the two of you. I hope you are happy in New York.

Aside from that, I have been hesitant to ask, but how did your mom pass away? I was sad to find out about it. I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time. It's got to be tough.
