Nauvoo!

In a few weeks Scott and I are going to spend a few days in Nauvoo, and I am beyond excited. I have been making a nice list of things to do and places to go while we are there but I am afraid I might leave something out! Let me know if you have any favorites in the Nauvoo area so we can be sure to see it too!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's 50th birthday! Shh, don't mention the getting older part, but don't forget to wish him a happy day!

Interviews & Weekend Trips!

On Friday Scott found out that he has been accepted to Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona. This isn't our first choice out of the schools, but it's definitely nice for him to have an acceptance! He also has three more interviews lined up. First is in Bethesda, Maryland at the Uniform Services University which is currently our first choice of schools. It is also his first interview at an M.D. school, so we are very excited! The second interview is at Des Moines University in Iowa, and the last one (I mentioned in my last post) is at A.T. Still University in Kirksville, Missouri.

For the interview in Missouri, I get to go with Scott! We had planned to go to Disneyland this fall, but decided that we could make a weekend out of some church sites instead. We'll fly out in the morning, just after I get out of dance practice and arrive in the early evening. That will give us some time to rent our car, get some dinner, and get to the hotel before getting to bed for an early start. The interview is the next day, and starts around 8 a.m. The group of interviewees is fed breakfast then given a tour of the campus, loan counseling, and time to meet with a current student in order to ask any questions. Then everyone has lunch and heads to their personal interview that is usually about 30 minutes long. As soon as the interview is finished, we're going to drive out to Nauvoo where we will be able to spend a couple of days. After seeing the sights we'll drive on back to the airport and get home late in the evening so I can make it back to dance class the next morning. It's going to be a great weekend, and I'll only miss two days of class so I am very excited!
