Good News!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

For those of you who I'm not fb friends with and haven't heard yet....

I got the results of that big, life changing interview I had in Decebember.

Thanks for your positive energy... it definitely paid off!

On Saturday morning I found out I was admitted into Ohio State University's veterinary program!!!

I'm SO pumped.  

As you probably know vet school is pretty tough to get into, 

and everyone I met at the interview was so smart and nice.  

I couldn't figure out how they were going to cut so many smart and nice people.

But, praise the Lord, somehow I made the cut!  

And hopefully those smart and nice people will be my new friends in the near future.

This news set in a whole bunch of things into action, 

and it feels like my to-do list just grew exponentially....

Some things I've been thinking(stressing) about for the past 24hours:

  Getting Nick's immigration paper work sorted out...

(which appears to be cheaper and more straight forward than we were expecting.  

knock.on.wood.)

Figuring out about Heidi's export vaccinations/paperwork/vet checks

(Note: She does NOT have to be quarantined)

Tackling the last of the projects around the house

Selling the house 

Finding a new house

Thinking a lot about loans/financial aid

Wondering if they sent me the acceptance letter by mistake...

and if I'm going to be the dumbest kid in the class

Wondering how I am supposed to keep all this a secret at work 

Trying to think of a solid game plan for 

maintaining my marriage while in school.

(rumor has it going to vet school is tough on spouses,

 and it's probably even tougher when that spouse has to quit their job and move to a foreign country...I'm banking on the fact that everyone will want to hang out with him because of his charming English accent and eccentric British way - but any tips for this transition would be much appreciated.)

I guess it's going to be one exciting year!
