Washington

Last night, on our way home from dinner, Jason missed a phone call from a number he didn't know. When we got home he checked his messages to find out that the missed call was from a Doctor he interviewed with at the University of Washington. The Doctor asked Jason to return his call so he did.

Let me remind everyone Jason just interviewed with the University of Washington on Tuesday morning.

The Doctor wanted to personally let him know that he has been accepted to the Medical School he has really wanted to go to. His letter will be coming shortly!

Jason is so thrilled, which makes me just about as excited as him.

As for now we will most likely be going to the University of Washington. We will spend the first and part of the third year in Bozeman, Montana and most likely the rest of the time in Seattle, Washington. The only way we would consider going anywhere else is it Jason gets accepted to the University of Utah.

.....

Today Jason interviewed at the University of Washington, while I stayed here and went to school. We are grateful that today was Jason's last interview for med school. He has been accepted to 3 schools already, we are just waiting to hear back from a couple more before we make our final decision. (We have until May)

School is going well for the both of us. Jason never ceases to amaze me with how much information he can put in his head. My classes are physically draining but mentally uplifting. I am attempting to get ahead in some of my classes, it is not going too well so far, but I am hoping for the best.

I read The Lovely Bones. It was a very good book. Very interesting and very thought provoking. If only we could read books like these for some of my English classes.

I worked out my class schedule for the summer. I am really excited for my last semester and the classes I will be ending my degree with. The two that I am most excited for are: Modern English Grammars, and Digital Photography compositing.

I am trying to decide if I should walk at graduation. I don't care to, my parents on the other hand want me to. I'd have to do it this April because we will be leaving in the middle of summer and I don't think I would come back to do it. I just don't know.

So cute!

Snow

I played with my camera over Christmas break and discovered a "snow" function. Last night it snowed quite a bit, our cable even went out for a little bit. Anyways, I took a couple of pictures today of the snow, using the snow function and this
was my favorite.

I also really enjoyed these

Today I felt like I accomplished quite a bit. We started the day by watching the last episode of Late Night with Conan O'brien. I am going to miss Conan greatly and I really hope that he shows up on a different network soon! After Conan I dropped Jason off at work, came home and cleaned the bathroom and did all of the dishes. There were quite a few! Dishes tend to pile up when one goes to school and work, by the time one gets home one doesn't want to do chores, one wants to watch tv.
Once the dishes were done I got ready for the day and then started watching U.S. Championships: figure skating! I love watching figure skating, which is what I am currently doing as I wait for Jason to tell me he is finished at work.

Update

Quick little update.

Jason and I are back into the swing of things with school and work. This is Jason's last semester and my second to last.

We are both enrolled full time. Jason is taking 14 credits and I am taking 18. I am pretty excited about my classes this semester. They should be fun as long as I make it out alive. I am getting a little sick of school, and it's only 3 weeks into the semester.

I'll try to update every once in a while, but I make no promises.

A little more Christmas

We went over to my parents today after we had lunch to pick up some seasons of Monk and the no 1 ladies detective agency to watch. While we were there my mom told me that my aunt had gotten us (me) a Christmas gift, and to get it from her room. This is what I found.

The one with my name on it is specifically for me. Each of my siblings got a little bag with some stuff in it, as did my parents.

The one box has my bag in it, and the other box is full of papers, stamps, stickers, and different scrapbooking tools.

She also got us a sizzix die cut machine. They are pretty fun to use. We are all excited to use all of the things and have a scrapbooking party. With my Cricut and other scrapbooking tools, and now all of this stuff, we are going to be in scrapbook heaven!

Thank you so much aunt Penni!

We got home from my parents and heard a knock at the door. I answered it and it was a guy in our ward who lives by us. He said he was walking past our car and saw some money on the ground and was wondering if we had lost any. It was $20 bucks that my siblings paid me back for me buying my mom a gift for her birthday. I was going to use the money to help me buy myself new boots, it must have fallen out of my coat pocket either yesterday or today. I am so grateful for our neighbors and how wonderful and honest they are. We are so blessed to be here right now.

Christmas

Christmas was great to us this year. We went up to Montana to spend time with Jason's family over the break. This year we flew non-stop, got there about 2 hours early, and had no car issues! We did have a delayed flight and were on the plane for quite a while, but no car problems!

We spent our time in Montana going out to eat, spending time with Denny and Rita, shopping, and visiting family.

We had a lot of fun and loved spending time together. We also got to do ichat with my family for Christmas eve and Christmas. It was a lot of fun.

Jason and I have been so blessed, and we are so grateful for those great examples around us.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and able to remember the reason for the season.

P.s. I am now officially a senior! I passed all my classes including my math class, only one to go!
