Alternate

Well we got our long awaited news from the University of Utah. I have been selected as an "alternate." What this exactly means to us...more waiting! I'd be disappointed if my heart wasn't pounding each time I went to the mailbox. The way it works is if some people who have been offered an acceptance do not accept, then I will get the chance to accept their acceptance. Ha! I have no idea how far down the list I am or the chances of getting in, but we are optimistic and trust that our lives are in the Hands of a God who knows what is best.
In the meantime, I had a nice interview in Kirksville, MO, and I have an interview in Las Vegas, NV on April 1st at another D.O. school.
We want to thank those who have been praying in our behalf!

Life wouldn't be an adventure without stuff like this happening right?

I have to admit that I haven't been praying very hard, because I REALLY want you guys to come out closer to us. So it's probably my fault. Sorry. :)

Ughhh, waiting is definitely the worst part. I swear Ben and I checked the mailbox 100 times a day. Hey, Kirksville is in Ben's old neck of the woods. We saw a Ben Folds concert on the campus when we were first married. It's a pretty little town! Good Luck Team Merkley!

Hey thanks Lauren for giving me the link to that website--they had some really cute backgrounds. Sometimes i just get so bored with mine...By the way, make sure to keep us posted on the med school status. We want to start planning some nationwide vacations...
