Happy We Have Options

So... we feel so blessed to have been accepted into 4 medical schools and still have 2 schools to hear from. Most days we really just feel lucky! However, there is this pressure now of deciding where to go--the RIGHT place to go. Of course the decision will ultimately be made between The Lord, Landon and I... BUT out of curiosity.... WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

1. A school that's Ranked in the top 40. That may help us get into the a better residency!
2. A school 30 minutes away from Landon's family.
3. A school located in a Big Fun Exciting City.
3. A school that offered us a Full-Tuition Scholarship for 4 years (not ranked)

Any thoughts?

P.S. We don't need to make a decision until May 15th

Be Active! 3 Months! Happy!

The 2nd Counselor in our Stake Presidency talked a little bit about the Primary Elections on Sunday. With one of the biggest elections in this nations history, there is an LDS man--Mitt Romney--running. Of course, I don't have to tell any of you that, i'm sure you already know.

BUT with that thought... President Christensen talked about how now more then ever, as Latter Day Saints, we must be active in our religion and not passive. He mentioned using blogs as a way to be an active LDS. So here I am being active.

I don't know a lot. But this is what I DO know:
  • I love my family.
  • I love being a wife to Landon.
  • I love Landon!
  • I love being a mom.
  • I love Jaxson.
  • I love being a member of the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
  • I believe that it is the only true gospel on the earth.
  • I believe it is the whole reason Landon and I are so happy.
  • I believe it brings comfort, peace, and joy in times of stress, trials and hardships (and in times of happiness too).
  • It is my motivation during the day to work harder, be better, and smile more.
  • I believe in the atonement and I know it happened!
  • I believe that one day Christ will come again
  • I believe that we will be judged and will have to opportunity, if we live worthily, to live happy eternally.
  • And I HOPE that I can do everything in my power to make sure me and the rest of my family and loved ones can be together, forever, in happiness!
Just a few more updates:
  • Jaxson's 3 month appointment= 15lbs, 24.5 inchs long, a 41cm head
  • We went to Arizona to visit Landon's family and Indiana to visit Johnny's family.
  • We've been accepted into 4 schools and are waiting to here from 2
  • We don't know where we're going yet
  • I still love every second of being a mom
  • Landon is ready to graduate
  • We. Are. Happy.
Happy Wednesday!
