SEATTLE!!!!!!!!! We are so excited and surprised! It was Jeremiah's number one choice throughout it all, and we just got nervous because we didn't feel like we ever got a for sure "the spot is yours" from them. Jeremiah, and his Honest Abe self, refused to contact any other programs for fear it would look dishonest...knowing he wasn't putting those other programs first. Anyway, the spine surgeon in Seattle that Jeremiah really respects and got to know a little bit on our trip out there, called him this morning. I wish you could have all heard Jeremiah's voice when he called to tell me the news. I felt like the Rocky theme song was playing in the background and he was ready to go toe to toe with the world. I was standing in the Walmart parking lot and I am pretty sure everyone around thought I had won the lottery :) I am so proud of him. So thankful to see God rewarding all his hard work with some validation. Thank you all for praying for us and sharing in the excitement!

SO SO happy for you Abbs! When do you guys leave? As for the house thing. I remember being like that and it was just so stressful! (I think we had like a roach issue or something) You really find out who your friends are because they will always come to the rescue and help you fix stuff. You'll look back and cherish those days! I promise.
