Its Official

We are moving to San Antonio, Texas!!! I can't believe it myself, I never thought in a million years that I would live in Texas. We decided that since Cory did not get into medical school we needed to do something different. He has done everything he can do here to make his application better. The reason we chose Texas is because there are about ten medical schools there that accept 75% or more Texas residents. We will move down and Cory will find a job at the University Hospital doing more hands on patient care and I will get to play all day with my long lost sister Jennie! That part I am excited about. I am nervous about living so far away from my family and friends. I have never lived out of Pocatello! It will be hard not being able to just run over to my mom's in 15 minutes and have a nice dinner-because I do not cook! Thats the other thing, we are probably going to starve when we leave!:) It's not because I don't like to cook I'm just not very good at it. Anyways we are planning on leaving the first weekend in August. At first I was not very excited about the whole thing but after a lot of thinking, praying, fasting etc...we have decided this is the best decision for us. It really hit me hard when we gave our thirty days notice to our landlord. The day after that I started packing some boxes because I'm a little ocd and if I know something is coming up I like to be ready. So when I started packing I started crying too. I don't think I've cried that much in a while, probably since I was pregnant and had out of whack hormonal issues!:) We will be moving in with Cory's parents in mid May to save some money, apartments there are much more expensive that I thought, but I guess it could always be worse. After talking with my wonderful mom and sister in law Jennie I am feeling much better and I am even getting excited. Texas will be a fun place to live and it won't be permanent so I am going to enjoy it. Whats even better is that we will live about a thirty minutes from Sea World and Six Flags! We just say this is our next adventure and we are going to enjoy life at every step of the way!

Eve 6 Concert

Last night there was a free Eve 6 concert at the Holt Arena. Cory and I took Kallon and met up with some friends. We thought Kallon might really enjoy it because every time there is music he is always dancing. He loves music especially dads rock music which is really funny. I was a little worried about how loud and crazy it might get. We get there and the music started about 15 minutes later and Kallon immediately perks up to see what the noise is. At first he was a little scared and kept pointing to the exit saying bye bye. I got him to settle down and sit on my lap by bribing him with some snacks. The most funny thing about the whole night is when Kallon wasn't eating he had his little fingers in his ears saying "loud music." If his fingers weren't in his ears he was holding my hands up to cover his ears. After each song he would clap and smile and say "again, again." It was a fun night and as always nice to get out of the apartment. I don't know if I enjoyed the band more or Kallon!

Frustration

Alright I need to vent a little bit. We received a letter from U of U on Saturday (the medical school we were really hoping to get into) well don't get your hopes up because it was a no-again. Honestly I really don't know what these darn schools are looking for. Cory has the grades the mcat score, the service, the experience. I just don't understand what they want. I told Cory to start telling people that he's one quarter Hispanic or something and then maybe he would get in. It's just so hard to take because Cory has jumped through all the hoops and works so hard, it just sucks that someone else decides whether or not he gets to become a doctor. What really breaks my heart is that today one of the Dr's. in town that Cory is close to called the Dr. in Utah that interviewed Cory to find just exactly why he didn't get in. Well the Dr. was actually surprised that Cory didn't get in and said that he was very impressed with Cory. He also said that he could not have given him a better score on the interview. So what the heck!? We are just a little confused right now. Anyway I don't mean to be so depressing I just had to get it off my chest. So now we will embark on a new adventure. We need to move somewhere so that Cory can continue to beef up his application. We will probably go somewhere to get residency in a state with a lot of medical schools. Its sad to say but there is nothing left for us at home. It will be hard to move but I think it will be the best for our family, and we will try again next year!:)

Last night I was over at the in-laws and we watched the movie August Rush. I was not expecting much cause movies theses days are very hit and miss. I actually really enjoyed it, I'm not going to give anything away but it was so nice to sit down and be able to watch a good, clean, uplifting movie. So if you are in need of something to watch and do not want to worry about the content I recommend August Rush-so good!
