Just thought I'd update you all on all the things that have happened so quickly in the past week!
First of all-- the results from my scope. The doctor didn't find anything to worry about, so that's good. We didn't really think we'd find anything. Just being thorough and checking that off our list before we try to get pregnant again. He did say, though, that I am not ovulating regularly (can I say "ovulating" on a blog???hehe) and suggested I take Clomed..... which I'm not sure why, considering that I haven't ever had any trouble getting pregnant. Perhaps I'll pop out some twins or something........
Moving on....... thank you all for your kind words and congratulations on Steve's great accomplishment of getting in to medical school. We are very excited. We have been waiting (not so patiently on my part) with great anxiety to find out whether or not we'd be heading off to medical school this summer or not. And now we are finally accepted and everything seems to be falling into place so quickly!
Now brace yourselves all you fellow Utahns......
It is decided-- we will be moving to Ohio.....THE LAST WEEK OF JUNE!!!! That doesn't give us a whole lot of time, but we feel like we need to get out there and start getting settled into life there.
We have been blessed to have so many wonderful people ALREADY befriending us out there in Ohio, and we're not even there yet. I just have to say what a wonderful thing it is to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Of course the gospel itself is such an anchor in our lives. But it's not only that.... the members, the wards, the way things are organized. We have already had several people in the ward e-mail us or comment on our blog-- all of them welcoming us already and offering us help in any way.
It all started when Steve went out there for his interview back in March. They offer what they call a MedStay program where med students let you stay at their house while you are out there for your interview. Most people that were on the list were not going to be around when Steve went out there because it was their spring break. But, some gave him names of other people they thought might be around and might be willing to let him stay. Eventually, he contacted Steven and Sherri Zeimer who happened to be members of the ward out there and they were nice enough to let him go and stay with them. Before Steve went out to Ohio, I was looking at Steven and Sherri's blog to see who they were. To make a longer story shorter (maybe), I happened to make a connection! Sherri is the sister of Jon, who is the husband of Whitney, who is the sister of Cassidy, who is married to my brother Chris! Okay that sounds confusing....... lets just say, Steven Zeimer and my husband Steve are both married to girls whose brothers are married to one of the Kremin sisters (Cassidy and Whitney). Make more sense?? Anyway, the point is, we had a connection. Then when Steve was out there he met some other members of the ward. There, he made another connection. One guy,Jon, went on his mission to the area where my sister lives in Switzerland (which is where I was when Steve was at his interview) and knew some of the same people that I had met while I was out in Switzerland!!! Small world, eh? Well, lets just say that all of these things made us have a very good feeling about Ohio. And, those people he met have been helping us out ever since then.
What a blessing that is to me. I feel like I already have friends there. Like I'll have a little family away from my real family here in Utah. I am so much less nervous to pick up and move since we feel like people are waiting for us there. Thank you to our future Toledo freinds and ward members. You are making this so much easier for us : ) We are excited to join you.
Well, with MUCH help from some wonderful people out in Toledo, we have found a place to live! We will be spending the next 4 years of our lives living in this cute duplex. We will be on the bottom level, and our new friends Jake and Jenny will be upstairs (for the next year, until he finishes up his last year of med school). They are in our future ward out there, and we are excited to join them!
We will be a few blocks from the Maumee River and Walbridge Park. Never heard of those before... but they sure are pretty!!!
