Exciting Things To Come

There is much buzz in the DeWitt house these days.

Things are happening.

Big things.

Important things.

Jason graduated Friday.

This has been such a long time coming and I am so proud of him!

Not only has Jason worked full time through all but 2 semesters of college, 

he has been a loving and devoted dad and husband,

and earned himself a perfect 4.0 GPA from ASU.

We celebrated his accomplishment with friends and family,

and now we look to bigger things:

Medical School.

In two weeks, schools will begin accepting applications and our lives will {hopefully} change forever.

Our lucky number?

20.

20 schools.

20 applications.

20 possibilities. 

Again, 

{hopefully}

While Jason is smart and has great academic achievements, 

with med school,

it is never a sure thing.

So we are hoping,

out of 20,

we at least get one.

That's all we need.

That's all we're praying for.

Where's our 20 you ask?

Texas

Utah

Tennessee

Arizona

California

North Carolina

Maryland

Georgia

Alabama 

Ohio

Oregon

Washington

I have mixed emotions about our list.

Only 2 schools would keep us near friends and family.

18 other options take us far,

and some farther,

away.

The thought of staying put,

keeping our roots growing in the house and neighborhood and city we love so much,

makes me feel calm. And safe.

But the thought of starting a new adventure in a new place,

with our just our little family of 4

brings excitement.

Yes, a bit of anxiety.

But mostly excitement.

Jason and I have spent all of our lives in Arizona.

It's all we know.

And I think it would be good for both of us to spread our wings a little.

So whether it's Baylor in Houston,

Jason's dream of Johns Hopkins in Baltimore,

or right here at U of A Phoenix,

we will be happy.

We are anxious to see where this road takes us and there's a lot of waiting to do before we find out where our family will end up, 

but until then,

we are here.

Here to enjoy our possibly last summer in Arizona for 4-11 years,

to enjoy our last year so close to our families,

and to enjoy ASU football games, game nights, and dinners out with our friends.
