WE'RE MOVING!!!!

So on Monday afternoon Bryan recieved the much anticipated E-Mail! He was accpeted to the Univeristy of Vermont's College of Medicine!!! Vermont was his #1 choice so he was ecstatic! It is a great school and was just ranked in U.S. News and Reports Top Medical Schools. (i tried really hard to put a link to the report's webpage so you can see it, but i'm not the savviest blogger.) It was #6 in primary care. From what I understand Medical schools can focus on either research or primary care and Bryan really liked the enviroments of the primary care schools.

I feel like every emotion has flooded through me the last 4 days! (ya sorry it took me a while to post about this). I'm excited for a new adventure but terrified at the same time! We will be like 3,000 miles from ANY family; I mean cousins and everything! So i'm very sad about being away from them. I'm happy and proud of Bryan for such a great accomplishment! I'm also totally stressed about how we are going to move. No matter which way we do it, we are looking at about $3,000! I'm also a little bit disappointed because if we didn't get in this year, we were going to stay in Cedar and I was going to get to finish my bachelors degree. I will still get it done, somehow, out in Vermont. It will just take me longer.

Another big thing I'm completely nervous about is living in a place where my religion is not very common. I lived in Vegas until I was 18 so some people would think "well she survived sin city!" but the church is huge there so it wasn't hard at all. Bryan and I always had a good feeling we would get into school there, so when we found out a couple months ago that they legalized Gay Marriage we were a little scared for that. I'm sure we will be asked to be very active in stopping that in the next few years. I found this line from someones blog about their feelings towards people like me: "And the religious bigots are howling in the woods, and spewing their usual monkey [poop]." (yes poop was edited). Great huh?

But here are some things I'm SOOO excited for:



Ben and Jerry's was started in Burlington. There first shop is there and their factory is there. I'm going to have to exercise A LOT to keep up with all the ice cream I will be eating.
This is a building on campus. I dont know how old it is, but I intend to find out! BEAUTIFUL!
Fall in Vermont! I will posting pictures like this in 4 months!!!

This is downtown Burlington. Its called Church Street. It is gorgeous and quaint and charming! I'm so excited to visit this! I have googled it and it had a LONG list of delicious restaurants and awesome shopping. Chocolate shops and all! Here is a short list of some of the shops that are there: Banana Republic, J.Crew, Ann Taylor LOFT, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, Macy's, Urban Outfitters, GAP, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Borders and American Eagle. If we had ANY money, we would be poor with this kind of shopping. But alas, it will be window shopping for me!!
