I know all my posts are about graduate school, but that's all we think about right now and it will be our life for the next 3-4 years. We still aren't 100% sure where we are going, but through rejections and such we have narrowed it down to 6 states:
Florida (University of Miami)
North Carolina (
Elon University and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
Georgia (Emory University)
Arizona (Arizona State University and Franklin Pierce)
Utah (University of Utah and Brigham Young University)
California (University of San Diego and
Pepperdine and University of Southern California)
I am excited about all of these options. A lot of these schools have put Brett on the waiting list so they could tell him if he is in or out just a few days before school starts in September. This won't work for us because a few of my schools start in one month and another starts in June, so we have to know. It's kind of funny because Brett is usually the stress case and lately I have been so stressed out about not knowing and Brett has been fine. I keep reminding him that I could possibly start school in a month on the other side of the country and of course that stresses me out. I am really excited to hopefully move sometime soon and start school, but it will be a lot more exciting once we actually know where we will be living. I will be sure to post something when we know for sure where we will be going!
I turned 22 on Friday and I thought this picture pretty much summed up my birthday.... scrubs and balloons. I spent about 9 hours in the cadaver lab and smelled horrific when I got home. I quickly took a shower and went to dinner and a movie with my parents and then got to enjoy a delicious red velvet cake, thanks to my mom. 
I made her a baptism box with a bunch of little trinkets inside that represented the covenants and promises she made at baptism. As I was giving my talk and explaining things to her, I pulled out a candy bar and my little nephew whispered loudly, "Cora, will you share your candy with me?" hahaha It was really cute. Cora seemed to lover her box and I had a fun time making it. It was my first experience with mod podge and it was surprisingly easy and fun! I am so proud of my niece Cora and hope that she remembers the covenants and promises that she made on her special day.
My classes start on May 19th so Brett and I will start driving on May 14th. I will live with my parents and commute to campus and Brett will continue working in Utah. He will come to FL and move all of our stuff out at the end of July. I am so excited that we finally know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Pepperdine University. The campus was absolutely gorgeous, it was on a hill overlooking the ocean in Malibu. Amazing!
This is Brett looking at the view from the law building at Pepperdine University. He kept repeating "This just isn't fair... this just isn't fair. This is like a resort... not like a school!"
This is obviously University of Southern California. The campus was very pretty and it was less than 1 mile from Mount Saint Mary's where I have been accepted.
This is University of San Diego. This campus was also gorgeous! I interviewed at a PT school in San Diego that would be a good match and I should hear back by this Friday!! We also visited UCLA, but I didn't post pics of it.
This is Mount Saint Mary's College (the first school I was accepted to). The campus was small, but I liked it.
