I am so proud of my husband! He has worked so hard, learned so much and put so much into his dream of becoming a doctor! It truly has been an emotional process for us, with lots of learning curves. We learned the hard way some mistakes we made in the process (like applying earlier than later makes the biggest difference).
Steve got his acceptance into the MD program at Tulane medical school in New Orleans! We are thrilled! When he interviewed there, he loved everything about the school, the place and his interview. Had an overall good feeling.
At this point we really don't think we can afford to fly and interview anywhere else...so we are just waiting to hear back from the U. Steve interviewed in Oct. and they told him he would not hear back until Mar ( so sad I know). The U is a very long shot, but still our first choice.
It would not be that horrible to not get into the U since we are in medical school. It is just wonderful to know we are on the path to the dream of being a doctor! Whether it is in New Orleans or Utah, we are so happy and ready for this new adventure in our lives to begin. 
I thought the cartoon was hilarious....the beginning of fun med school moments.....

YAYYYYY! That is great news! Tulane, where Bishop Thorne went for med school, too. New Orleans will be an interesting place to live... good job, Steve!!!
YOWZZAH - very cool, we'll "almost" be neighbors. And I have two nieces in N.O. so maybe we'll get you guys a welcome crew... Sorry I haven't commented in forever. I now regularly teach about blogs as marketing tools, so maybe Im' entering in the 2000's at least. Your hopelessly technologically outdated bro-in-law, Scott
YIIPPEEE!!! That's Wonderful!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations!! New Orleans is a ton of fun! Nothing like Utah thats for sure. My hometown in only 4 hours from there. Good Luck with the U as well
Probert! That's so exciting! You better let me know what the outcome is! And as far as the easter pageant goes, I decided a couple of days after call backs that I just couldn't do the time commitment yet. Maybe next year :)Thanks for the tips though. I'm really glad I auditioned. It brought back good memories.
We're excited for you guys. What a big deal! Congrats and good luck.
