Carving Party

I decided that I wanted to have a pumpkin carving party at my house this year.  Nadya has been asking for a while if she could carve a pumpkin this year so I figured why not.  Earl was really good with her and she was so excited to do it.  We had a good time with our friends and they all brought yummy treats.  Thanks everyone for coming.  I really do love halloween.

It's Official

Ever since Earl got into school, we knew that after 2 years we would have to move to continue on his med school journey.  After moving to Kirksville, we fell in love with this town.  Quickly I realized that I wanted to stay here for the full 4 years.  Then in the last month of doing mock matches, there was a chance that we wouldn't be able to stay.  More people wanted to stay than I expected and than the hospital had room for.

However, after all of the stressing and waiting (they were late in letting everyone know) we get to stay in Kirksville for 2 more years.  I am so excited.  Here are the reasons why:
1.  I don't have to move again
2.  I can get rid of all the boxes taking up space in my garage
3.  Nadya gets to stay in school here
4.  I get to keep doing exercise group
5.  I love my place here and I don't have to settle for something less somewhere else
6.  Earl will get a good education

I absolutely love it here.  I will miss all of my friends that are leaving but I know that this is the place that we are supposed to be.  Prayers truly are answered and I am grateful that ours was.
