In the beginning...

My husband has been going to school since I met him. We have been married for almost 7 years now. He graduated from Kansas Wesleyan University with a degree in chemistry a year ago and applied to Creighton's online Pharmacy school this past year. We waited and waited and waited for a response. Finally the beginning of June he got a letter. Yes we did sing the Blue's Clues "We Just Got A Letter" song when it came. He had me open it and we learned he had been chosen as an alternate.

We figured he would probably not make it into Creighton this year. However, we hoped and prayed and on July 3rd he got an email offering him a pharmacy school interview on July 13th! We loaded up the car and headed to Omaha where he spent 3 hours learning more about the program and going through the interview with two staff members. They told him he would probably receive a call that day as to the status of his application.

Our youngest son is 5 and we took him to the Omaha Children's Museum to kill some time. At 2:45 I noticed my husband was on the phone and sure enough it was Creighton. He was in. The panic set in. My husband was going to become a full time student and a VERY part time employee of the pharmacy he currently works in. Our lives were going to change and they were going to change very very quickly.

This all happened yesterday. Today we are home and he is cramming in every moment he can to finish the microeconomics class he has to finish before August 1st. I am trying to figure out how first I am going to handle him being gone for two weeks the end of this month and how we are going to adjust as a family to the changes before us for the next four years. I plan to chronicle our adventures here. The good, the bad and the ugly. Care to come along for the adventure?
