Today being December 1st, marks the one year since we found out Marc was accepted into dental school! This ended our our three and a half years of “what if?”

• What if we move across the country?
• What if we don’t get in till next year?
• What if we don’t will we stay in Arizona?
• Will we live by family when we had Ruby?

December first is the first day that dental schools can “legally” give you the official news you have been accepted. So on December 1st 2015 at 6:51am my phone rang. And you have to know i NEVER answer my phone when I don’t know who is calling. I believe in the idea if it is really important and I don’t know who they are they will leave a message.

To be honest it was early, and I hadn’t yet been awake long enough to remember that today was the day, but my phone rang with an unknown number. And I answered. A man with a thick accent was on the other end asking for Marc. Confused I walked in the kitchen and handed him my phone. And i hear

Marc: “yes, this is he.”

pause for response

Marc: “yes” (very happy)

pause for response

Marc: “yes!” ( we excited! but trying to keep it cool.)

more words from man with thick accent…

Marc: “Yes, thank up very much.”

hangs up phone. Starts jumping up and down.

Marc: “I MADE IT INTO A. T. STILL’S PROGRAM!!!”

we made it. Oh happy day!! Lots of hugging, kissing, and more jumping continued. Yeah!

We later found out, Marc is even more super awesome to A. T. Still then we knew. Not, only did he make it in the school but he made the very first cut (hence the very early acceptance phone call). Why the school called my number we never found out, but we were happy I picked it up.
