Update: So Cal and Rejections

In the last month Dan has been offered an interview at both USC and UCLA. The USC interview we basically ignored because they have a terrible reputation in the dental school world (no offense to USC lovers, their dental students, in general, don't like it there). But UCLA, now that's a good one. The cost to attend UCLA is the same and the school has a great reputation. However, we have ZERO desire to live in LA if we have other options, so though we(Dan) briefly considered attending the interview, we(he) decided against it. The great thing was that I found out via his updated Facebook status that he had decided to not attend that interview. What would we do without Facebook?
On the same day Dan was offered the UCLA interview, he was also rejected from both the University of Washington and the University of Colorado. Both great schools. Might care a little more if he hadn't already had so many great opportunities including a spot at good ole UCSF.

Update on the homefront:
Dan is back in school and we are back to our normal routine. However, Dan only has 3 classes this semester (Biochemistry, Physics 3 and Economic Research Methods...not exactly a walk in the park but at least there are less of them) so he has a lot more time than he had last semester. It's been great to have him here and not as busy.
We have really been enjoying our 3-year-old lately. He has been so much fun to be around and makes us laugh on an hourly basis. He likes to rub my belly and "listen" to what Colin is doing inside my belly. He has been eating like crazy and I am getting a tiny glimpse into what life might be like with a teenage boy. I don't know where he is putting this food because he is still super skinny, but it must be going somewhere. It's a nice change from the child who spent his first 3 years of his life eating close to nothing.
We have been doing a lot of cleaning out and organizing. My mom is our personal organizer and when she comes over to help us organize and clean, we achieve amazing results. We completely cleaned out our garage (we actually did that without my mom) and have cleaned out all 3 of the closets downstairs. It feels great to be getting rid of so much stuff.
I think I'm going to take this blog back to non-private status. Look for that to come soon.

Loves to all!
