Our New News

Okay... I'm not pregnant for those that are curious and wondering. No, it's not that kind of news; although I wouldn't mind if it were. haha. Anyways, our future has drastically changed in the last few weeks, but it's amazing! We have never felt so at peace with our lives. Here's the story:

Travis has been focusing on dental school, and what he needs to get done to get in, for the past year or so (since we've been married). He's been doing countless hours with his head in his books studying. He has incredible work ethic and I think he's amazing. But these classes were hard. He pulled Bs in them, but that still made it hard to be competitive in dental school. We've been wondering and stressed forever. We didn't know if the future we were planning for would even work out. He was planning on taking the DAT (dental test) in April and then start applying to dental schools this summer. It was going to be a very expensive process because he wanted to fly out and talk to the schools to have a better chance of getting in. We're talking thousands and thousands of dollars here, folks. So thinking about the future has been stressful because it's been so up in the air.

Then he attended a job fair on campus. It was the exact one I interviewed for jobs around Rexburg at. Job fairs have a bunch of careers and graduate schools talking with you if you walk up to their booth. So there I was, planning for our future and applying to get a job close by because we were planning on staying in Rexburg for the next school year. And Travis was changing our future! He found a booth that was all about chiropractics. It was called Cleveland Chiropractic School (or something like that). But it's not even in Cleveland! haha. Anyways, Travis talked to them for a long time and he was convinced. He needed to be a chiropractor and he needed to go to that school.

When he first told me, I tried to be supportive, but I was doubtful. I thought chiropractors were weird witch doctors and were crazy people. He researched chiropractics like crazy, and has fallen in love with it every day since. He loves the human body, and he can't imagine reaching into people's mouths anymore. So we were stuck. No dentistry. It's kind of scary when it's all you've planned for for the past forever! So this lady walked Travis through the application process. There is no test that is required to get into chiropractic schools. It turns out he has all the classes he needs. He just needs to pass his organic chemistry class this semester and he's set! So he applied. Everything for the application finally settled, and he was accepted on Tuesday. As long as he gets a C in organic chemistry this semester. So we're headed to chiropractic school in January! It's so crazy! We've felt at peace with the whole process. We're going to be in Kansas City. Kansas!? Seriously?! Yes. And it will be very exciting. I can't wait to be somewhere that is just ours. It's our life in Kansas. Our future really is happening. I'm graduating in April, Travis in December, and we're headed to Kansas in January. Amazing. So that's our major update. Life is wonderful and we are so blessed.

P.S. There's a temple in Kansas City. Awesome!
