Ok, so I know I said that we were moving to California and that Blayne was going to attend USC, but we got a WONDERFUL phone call this week and our plans changed drastically!!! Blayne got a call from Ohio State on Wednesday and they offered him an amazing fellowship. He is getting his entire tuition payed for, plus a little over $1,200.00 every month for living expenses, plus we get 85% off of the school health insurance, so for our whole family to be on it it's only like $70.00 a month. Isn't that incredible???!!! We are super excited to go, we'll be leaving in August, I think. Another exciting thing is that the cost of living isn't very much there, so we can get a pretty nice apartment, which will be great!!! It's still a REALLY good school and ranked in the top 10 for his program. Since they have called Blayne, he has already been contacted by a recruiter from KPMG (one of the Big 4 accounitng firms) and also by 2 LDS couples that are also going to be moving across the country to go there, and their wives had the same concerns about making friends as I did, so now hopefully we'll get together and hit it off, that makes me really happy because I was pretty nervous about that! Columbus, OH here we come!!!!
I also have to metion that Denise Watts had her baby, Alia, on Wednesday- she is BEAUTIFUL, she is just such a PERFECT little baby!!! I wish I had a picture to post, but I don't, I'm a dork and didn't bring my camera when I went to see her. I'm super excited for Denise, she's going to have so much fun!!!
I'll try to post more often, but for now that's it, it's been a pretty big week, but SUPER great!!!
