Maine is Calling...

We would like to officially announce that we are moving to Maine in August. Things are looking really good for Nathan to be accepted to a pharmacy school there. The school is close to where Nathan's family lives. It's called Husson University, and their program starts this year. Because it's a new program, they haven't had many applicants. The University told Nathan over the phone that they would like to interview him, but that he needs to score a little better on the P-CAT and keep his grades up during his summer courses so that he can qualify for an interview. Luckily, they still have open seats in the class (let's pray it stays that way) and will interview him as late as August (which is when his P-CAT scores will be processed... so last minute!) Here's the thing... we feel SO strongly that Maine is where we need to be right now regardless of Nathan being accepted to the program this year. This will be an adjustment. My family is here. We love our ward and have lots of friends out here. Most of Isaac's grandparents are here, including Nathan's mom who is moving out this next month. But we can't deny that these feelings are coming from the Spirit, and that for reasons unknown to us we need to be in Maine. The witnesses have been strong and many. And we are excited about the future.
It's not easy to leave friend's and family, but we are listening to the call and will be leaving in the middle of August. We believe in the power of prayer, and would be so grateful for any prayers that Nathan will be accepted to Pharmacy school this year.

Four Happy Years!

On Tuesday Nathan and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. He surprised me with these gorgeous flowers that day, and we are going out to dinner tonight. I love that man so much. He works so hard. Among his qualities are these: He's determined, optimistic, loving, spiritually strong, gorgeous, and downright funny. He has seen me at my absolute worst (emotionally, physically, and otherwise) and has stayed lovingly at my side through it all. We've been through a lot together, and we are stronger for it. Life is an adventure, and I wouldn't want to go through it with anyone else! Four years has just raced by!
I LOVE YOU NATHAN!

Bath Time

Nathan was getting Isaac ready for his bath the other night, and I heard him say, "Go to Ma ma and say, 'Ma ma, I'm ready for my bath!'" Isaac waddled out and said, "Na na" (this is his pet name for me... he can say Ma ma. "Na na, a duh suh bu du ba". It was so cute and funny. He jabbers all the time, and this proves what I suspected all along. He really thinks he's talking.
