It's Official...We are going to be Buckeyes!


So we have decided that Ohio State is place for us. It took about 3 rejections from the University of Utah to help us make the decision. We are so excited to move onto this next chapter of life. I hope and pray that the weather in Ohio will calm down a little. I think I would be fine with at least 4 mild winters. Is that possible there? Anyway we would love any Ohio/Medical school or just plain old life advice if any of our blog readers have any for us.

We are planning on moving around the first part of August. If anyone is interested in taking a trip to Ohio at that time we would love help moving in. :)

The U is so hard to get into! I dont even think we will apply.
ugh I hope that the winters are not so harsh for you! You are going to be a great buckeye.

I was serious when I asked if that is why she got sick...I wonder if the stress finally got to her, and when you told her you were leaving it just tanked. :(
Poor Julie. You are the best of the best...so I am positive that you will get a job with any company your heart desires.

This is a very exciting new chapter for you guys, but so important. Micah and I have grown so much closer by moving to a new to both of us place. It's fun to explore together and be reminded that you are each others best friend. Good luck and Congrats!!

I just picked up on the blog story of the week, U B goin' to O-H-I-O.
As for your concern about the cold winters, do not be concerned, just make sure you have the thermals, the scarf, the eskimo boots, the eskimo gloves, etc. When I was a missionary there, I used to get so cold tracting all day that when I could no longer take it, I would ask the person at the door who just rejected us, if I could just come in and go to the bathroom. It wasn't so much I need to go bad. But it did get us out of the cold for a few minutes. The people there were not interested in the church, but the were kind enough to let me use the lavatory. So, the next thing is, You will have to be able to know what a buckeye is. It is not the thing that a male deer with antlers sees hunters with. It is some kind of a nut, sort of like the football fans there. And Finally pronunciation counts. You are not going to O-HI'-O. you ar going to
O-HI'-a. And you do not wash your clothes there, you worsh them. More vocab on another day. I think of you guys every day. I am proud of you two. And I love you..daddy dick
