Tonight, Chris and I were sitting on the couch with Ryan just hanging out before we put him to bed. Chris pulled his computer out and started looking at his facebook. I obviously didn't care too much about that so I turned my attention to Ryan. Next thing I know Chris is freaking out and I look over and he's on his email and all I see is "Congratulations!" What!!! Is this really happening?!! It's so funny because we were supposed to find out about 3 weeks ago, but the school decided to wait until the end of the month to make the final decisions. They said they would send an email if he got accepted and so he has been pretty obsessed with checking it. He got off work at 3:15 and said he hadn't checked it since then so it was around 8:30 when he checked his email again and so it was totally unexpected for both of us! I was so glad I was able to be there at the same time! We hugged, Chris cried and I screamed! So many pleading prayers for a very long time have really been answered!! I am so happy for Chris, this is what he has wanted more than anything(besides having a little girl! haha)! He deserves it. It will be hard. For both of us in different ways, but we can do it! It has been so hard to be patient and I hate the unknown so I'm glad that part is over. Well, at least now we can move forward a little. It will still be a huge unknown, but we have faith that the Lord will help us if we are righteous and rely on him. Chris and I have really tried to focus more on our marriage this past year and focus more on the basics. Consistent couples prayer and scripture study. It has made all the difference and I have a strong testimony that doing these things really does make you happier, stronger, and more spiritually prepared to face all challenges in life.
I am so excited!! Now, how are we going to pay for this?....
