Goodbye Kentucky, Hello.......

Congrats to Mike!!! We found out today he got accepted to orthodontic school. Alas, we also found out that we will be moving at the end of the year to a new location. Where, you might ask? Well, it was quite surprising to us and if you look on our voting poll only one person picked we would go there. We will be moving back out west to Portland, Oregon. Mike's going to OHSU. We are super excited! It is actually my dad's alma mater. I was even more excited when I heard that the beach is only an hour away. I know the water is frigid, but I'll take what I can get. So that's the news here!

Congrats, Mike and Kimmy! When do you guys move back west? Was that the school he was hoping to get accepted to? That's exciting that we will at least be in the same time zone.

CONGRATS! LOVE AND MISS YOU GUYS!

He was excited about Mike matching. We are from here and went to dental school here. We love Oregon so hopefully you will too! We can't wait to meet you guys! If you have any questions please ask! Good Luck with the rest of your year! My husband wanted me to give you our email and phone number. I don't want to post it on the web.

I hope you don't mind me commenting on your blog... we found it because my husband is going to dental school this fall and we are trying to decide where to go. He's narrowed it down to OHSU and Louisville and we need to make the decision quickly. Congratulations on matching at OHSU! If you don't mind talking about it with me, I would really appreciate it. It looks like you guys have had a great time in Louisville. My email is joceanne@gmail.com.

Also... your little girl is So. Stinking. Cute.
