Some news...

I have been reluctant to write about JJ's med. school process because we just have so many unanswered questions, BUT, we do know for sure he'll be in med. school next year!  Woohoo!  He was accepted to KCUMB for the fall.  We are still holding out, for the time being, for our local university to pull through.  We got some disappointing news last week. 

Some background knowledge:  everyone who was accepted to multiple med. schools had to decide by May 15th.  JJ is on the waiting list and we figured there'd be some big moves on the list with the May 15th deadline.  As of our letter this week, there were only two spots that had shifted.  In other words, we're feeling like we'll be moving.  Of course, we keep hearing to not lose faith because people were told much later in the summer that they were accepted.  That just seems weird to me: if someone is accepted to a med. school, why would they choose not to go?  A fantastic job comes along?  They get accepted to another school - but why the shift so late?  It has just been JJ's huge dream that it doesn't make sense to not seize the opportunity.   There are some people needing to finish up classes, and if for some reason, they do not pass those classes they would also not be allowed in.  So, I guess there could be some other extenuating circumstances.

I don't want to sound like this is in any way a bummer note.  JJ IS ACCEPTED TO MED SCHOOL.  HE IS GOING TO BE A DOCTOR!  We are superexcited to begin this chapter of our lives.  It will be an adventure to say the least.  There are so many plusses and minuses to both moving to KC and staying here.  We are just wondering what God has planned for us.  Waiting has never been an easy thing for me... maybe that's why God keeps trying to help me out in this area!  : )
