Hello one and all!! Since there has been some time between this and my last post, I would like to catch you up on what's been going on. First off, today is March 22 and for the past 2 weeks we have been having some VERY warm weather in NC. Not that I'm exactly complaining, it just means that this summer is probably gonna be a scorcher!!
Anywho, a few weeks ago I stepped out my front door and these were blooming!!! Aren't they gorgeous??
Well, they are very beautiful and I now have 5 bushes in my front yard bursting with colors of pink. The Azalea Festival is not for another few weeks and by the time that comes around, they're all gonna be gone.
*I honestly don't remember the last time we had Azalea's blooming during the actual Azalea Festival....hmmmm.....*
Moving right along in the world of Joanna. I did my first guest blog!! :) My older sister, Rebecca, asked me to write a post for her blog last week. She asked me to write about our Daniel Fast. If you'd like to read it, click here. Just go check out her blog in general!! She has some great posts on a regular basis. More regular than mine. :-p
*My two beautiful sisters. Abigail on the left and Rebecca on the right.*
And now, for news from around the world.
As you all know, Matt has applied for vet school. The last step that he had to take from our end was to take the GRE. Well ladies and gents!! The GRE has been taken and we have a wonderful score!!! :)
*Even this book would not have helped ME. Glad I wasn't the one taking it. :-p*
I am not a test taker. Never have been. In fact, when I take tests, I get real bad anxiety and basically just sit there and cry. Its really bad. If I was the one having to take this test, I would have been a nervous wreck for the past month!! My husband on the other hand?? Well, he was nervous for sure but he has also been studying his butt off to make sure he was as prepared as he could be. We had a talk a few days ago about taking the test and I found myself getting very nervous for him. It almost felt like I was the one having to take the test and not him!! Not a great feeling. He spoke pretty confidently that he was going to do fine. He had prepared himself as best he could and that's all he could do. The rest was in the Lord's hands.
There has certainly been a lot of prayer going into this process (I'm sure you are all ready for us to have some answers to I will stop talking it haha!!). In order to be eligible for any kind of financial scholarships, Matt needed to get a 1080 (I have no idea what the numbers mean or how the scoring goes. I just know what number we needed.) He called me at work right after he was done and told me his score........
1100!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so happy!!! He worked so hard and was so determined to do good. This was joy to my ears. St. George's told him to call them as soon as he got finished with the test to tell them his score (Because the GRE is taken on a computer, you get your score as soon as it is finished. You don't get your essay score right away because someone has to read that.) After talking to St. George's, Matt was told that they would call him if he got an interview and when/where it would be. Since they were just waiting on his GRE score, they couldn't set up an interview till they got that. They got in touch with him today and said that he definitely has an interview and will call with details of when/where that will take place!!!!!!!! :)
Praise the Lord!!!!!! We have taken the steps toward this and it looks like things are falling into place. There is still a LLLLLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGG way to go before we actually move but this process has gone very smoothly. I think Matt is happy with the outcome so far and we both are so excited to see what happens over the coming weeks.
*Pretty soon I'll HAVE to blog every day to keep you all updated on life in a new place!!!*
I think that just about gets you caught up on life here in Wilmington. In little over a week, we will be traveling to NY to visit my sister and bro-in-law for a few days. Pretty excited about that. Can't wait to see my little nieces that aren't so little any more!! There will be PLENTY of thoughts and memories of that trip to write a blog about.
Stay tuned!! :)
A hui kaua.......
